The 996/fried eggs are starting to grow on me, but the lights are really make or break - the ambers look bad and while cloudy, yellowed lights ruin any car it's especially true on the 996. Also buy that 911

That pic is a 991.1 (that the hood slats are horizontal, where 991.2s are vertical is the easiest tell). All 991's will basically look like that. The 2nd pic is a 997. 991s started in the later months of 2012. Targas might be later but 2013+ should filter out the 997s. You can nerd out on all this on the "991 911" wiki page.

Residency Evil posted:https://www.porsche.com/microsite/porsche-code/default.aspx?c=/PM57BIR6 Hello gold wheels european delivery fren http://www.porsche-code.com/PM96RXB2 Man they really kick your rear end on the deviated stitching stuff. I kinda see the GTS as the equivalent of the GT3 touring pkg version of the GT4, no stupid wing and although the gt3 touring isn't detuned (I don't think?) I'd want it a little softer to drive every day.

I thought my "reasonable dream car" was gonna be a 997/991 C2 for ~40k a few years ago, who knows if that'll ever happen again. Seems like the entire generations of basic NA porches got sucked out of depreciation land into an inflation/supply chain driven squeeze, and now are gonna catch an updraft into collector nostalgia territory in the turbo and ev era.

The 991 carrera T was interesting but not for the reasons porsche marketing said. No one is going to notice it weighs 30lbs or whatever less and it’s not a mini gt car. But, it has the base engine, which apparently is more revvy/fun of the turbo era, manual (the 991 had a closer ratio trans, not sure about this one but previously manual was not even available on base 992), LSD (again not avail on base), and a couple little goodies and differentiated interior options. It would be stupid not to get rear seats in these, no one is going to notice the weight loss and it makes the car more usable which is the whole 911 thing anyway.

Deletion of Model Designation on Rear means ditching the “Cayman GTS 4.0” sticker on the back bumper.

991 was actually lighter than the 997. The answer is always the current generation or maybe the previous is when it all went downhill.

I honestly don’t think porsche are deliberately underproducing. I mean that is laughable on its face obviously. But they make as many as they can, the sports cars have their own line that Im sure is maxed out and they can’t just trade a cayenne for an extra 911 on next Tuesday or whatever. And they need to be careful about overall production because if the market shifts and they can’t make enough suvs, they’ll be back to the 90s when they almost went under. And they have overall production emissions standards to meet. If anything the speculation market annoys them, which is why they keep coming out with slightly tweaked versions of special cars that cost a stupid premium (and sure, make a bit of cash of course).

I thought they all specd those cars for golf bags, to the point of putting "how to load X sets of golf bags" placards on. You would think with the back seats folded a 911 would have way more room than a cayman due to the way the rear hatch is kinda shallow.
