If I ever reach the point of just not giving a shit and want to go balls to the wall and damn the torpedos. I think an older 600 cc class bike, will be enough to turn me into a stain on the pavement. If not a liter class bike can do it easy. ![]() ETA, since you mentioned SXS, this is what I used to build....

Thinking of doing an exhaust and tune on my 12 991 s 3.8 NA. Both AWE tuning and Fab Speed seem gtg. Both in PA. AWE is significantly less expensive with similar HP and Torque gains and closer to me. Anybody have any experience with either? Any other recommendations? Thanks. |

I don't know much of anything about tuning, but I have heard that the Cobb tune is really easy and supposed to be very good. The Porsche shop that works on our Panamera recommended it. When my 991.2 is out of warranty, I am totally going to do that ... even though I have NO NEED for more power at all.

Debating adding factory PSE (only option I don't have that I would have liked) or aftermarket AWE/FAB. Either way, I won't tune until I see what the improvement is like with exhaust alone... It sounds like an easy 50 hp with both at about $100 per 1hp gain...

I want a 6MT NA to keep long term, but the 992.1 GT3 being fairly ugly has thrown a real wrench in my plans. I may hold out for a .2 or pick up a .1 Touring if they clean it up. |

It’s a beast on a .2 car, but limited gain on a .1 car especially if you have sport chrono (PDK tuning). PSE is THE option I view as mandatory. I don’t personally care much about Sport Chrono, I never use it - but I use PSE all the time and it brings a smile to my face. Factory PSE is awesome. I have heard Soul and Fabspeed, both sound great. Akrapovic gets a lot of love but is super pricey. |

My wife has them in her PDK Panamera, which is perfectly fine for a car that’s intended as more of a sedan or GT cruiser, where you just occasionally enjoy the power. But for a 911? That’s terrible. I had no idea that 911 cars had those ... I thought it was a Panamera thing, and that 911s of the same period had paddles. |

If you optioned the 991.1 or 997.2 PDK cars with a multifunction wheel, then you got thumb shifters. There was a “sport” wheel with real paddles, but no option for controlling the dash computer or radio from the wheel - theres an extra stalk on the column for that. |

"Problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented, but that socialism has been faithfully implemented."
Next time we go to summit, we are bringing the Panamera in addition to the 911. My wife may or may not race it, but it will be nice to be able to bring the canopy thing, and a couple of folding lawn chairs, as well as a cooler, snack, etc. so we can be comfortable in the paddock area. ![]() |

Need some advice...I want a Carrera S or 4S, has to be manual transmission, and I'd like to keep it under $100K This 2013 S is in Portland, striking distance (or delivery distance), has 27.5K miles and they're asking $82.9. Is that spoiler original to the car? Any known issues with this year group? I know it's not Gila Monster Green, but I'm okay with silver on black. Hate the sunroof... Any opinions would be appreciated! Dupont Registry ETA: car will be a sunny weather weekend warrior only. |
