The only thing they really share are the satin finish and the company name on their plates

Showed up at a local dealership. I'd love to post the window sticker but I didn't save it before it got removed from the site so I'm waiting on my Porsche app to update with it.

It's been raining every day so I haven't had a chance to take it out since I parked it and it's driving me crazy. lol.

Build sheet.

My E90, from space. 🤣🤣🤣

Some new tint and PPF for the 997 GTS.

Got the PPF refreshed and a new ceramic coat. What an improvement.

Spotted a P1 at the detailing place.

Did I tell you that time I sat in a manual GTS cab just like that and thought $85K CDN was too expensive? Did I? Yes I know I did and and yes it still shits me because they're now $125K.

Fuck.

These look better than the current models IMHO which are too sharp angled. I seriously looked at them but needed a 2+2 and TBH wanted a sportier car but if I ever ditch the 997 I may well go this route as they are beautiful and sound fantastic.

I almost thought a PTS coupe manual with 10k miles for like $110k a few years ago but didn’t pull the trigger. Probably worth $160k now. 997 GTS is probably my favorite overall 911 that I’ve had. Analog perfection. You even have to turn on the headlights yourself like a sucker!

Great spec! SportDesign always makes a big difference in appearance. 18-ways on the Cayenne are great. Different seats in the 911 but I am sure are equally good. Checkered RaceTex - let's see pics!

Wait I just fell off the couch, u went for PPF!! Are u saying youre gonna actually keep this one more than 6months?????!!!! Good for you! Though i still think u were insane to sell the 458, that thing is going to be worth multiples before u blink no matter what u sold it for!!! LOL!!!

Congrats

You need to see a newer one in the metal. Photos don’t really do it justice. Both beautiful cars. I’ve got both. The new one attracts too much attention compared to the older one though.

“Sportier” haha. You do realise the VH was made for 14 years and constantly updated. Different engines, suspension, steering so “sportier” is a bit sweeping. My VH albeit a coupe was a massively better, sportier, more involving drive than the 992 Carrera I spent hours with.

Probably will keep it a while, might be favorite 911 overall so far. I had to replace the stone guards and the shop said they’d do full front PPF all the way up the hood, wrap the edges, and do the side skirts for only $1100 more if they could take a few pics to post on social media. Couldn’t pass up that price. They did a solid job.

As much as I loved the 458 I got to drive it for 6-7 months, put 2k miles on it, and made like $7k or something after all expenses. The 997 GTS and Ghost combined were almost the same price as the 458 and I’ll get more miles on both of those. Window tint, lowering links, and maybe some new wheels for the Ghost next. There will be another 458 one day.

I’ve also managed to keep my Panamera Turbo S for about 16 months now, such a good daily. Thought about selling it but there isn’t much I’m keen to replace it with in a similar price range.

Definitely keen to get a bit of seat time in a newer Vantage. Obviously a very different experience to my 08, but that’s ok

Yes it sounds absolutely glorious
