its like that person that wont wash their car today because its going to rain on Friday ...

Well it wasnt my order to make but I think I might have done this:

RS Spyder 5 Lug Wheels in Satin Black vs the Center Locks
Blue Stitching and Dials vs Chalk

But in reality the chalk is nice and the CL's are lighter than the RS Wheels.

I sleep well

I get the 5 lugs, and the no spacers, but for me, when you have a chance for center locks, they're a pain in rain, but I like them, because Turbo.

I just confirmed that the Turbo wheels are forged and the RS ones are not so function over form is best here ....

Oh, now that definitely changes things. Hard to believe they would go through all of that effort to use look alike wheels, that arent forged. The cost of testing, and manufacturing, alone, you'd think would keep that from happening., but it must be worth it.

ugh really? the color itself is something else. Super happy for you...I ve been saying that I want a P car for the last 5 years... I need to pull the trigger.

Vic55 · 05-10-2022, 12:44 PM

Side by side ---- maybe too much light as the Shark is darker in the shade

I hope you pay those detailers well. I'm not sure I've ever seen mobile detail service that's this good.

My guy is a heavily regarded pro in the orange county--- he works with the Ferrari and Lambo dealers on a regular basis but takes care of me due to our long term relationship

Limegrntaln · 05-10-2022, 01:12 PM

Yeah, no kidding. That color pop he has going on with the AR paint, is insane. Also, 2 things I've noticed, in looking at various pics of your cars, is, he always gets the wheels, and especially the barrels and inside of the exhaust tips, spotless.

He has a pretty good regimen when it comes to those PITA wheels that M has ... the GTS wheels are rather easy and matte as well.

I had the wheels ceramic coated too- if that makes a difference (M car)

Mine are also ceramic coated. Removed and the coating is heat lamped on. It's so thick, it almost feels like there is PPF on the wheels. But they're still not that easy to clean. And that's with CCBs.

But that I would not consider that an LCI which to me is usually optics.

Maybe someone else here would know better?

I don't think you'll see a bump in power (if so, minor) for the 992.2 but allocations are in such short order, why in the world would you pass up a chance to be driving NOW? By that same sense, why do the 992.2 when you can just wait for the next gen car in a few years. It's a cycle that you cannot beat.

Yea I kind of regret it now, i called back and it was gone the next day

The life of trying to make up one's mind and Porsche inventory. Ive made that mistake probably 6 times over the past 18 months. I finally said f' it and secured this right when it popped up.

Vic55 · 05-11-2022, 02:35 PM

Well TFL Italy hit me up (former owner of Tubi) since Im running their Full Race system on my G80X... and Ill be adding this in a few weeks. The video is not the best and its only the rear section while my car will also have the 200 cell down pipes to add. Its gonna be LOUD!!

Rono63 · 05-11-2022, 03:39 PM

Looking forward to hearing your GTS when you get it installed.

Im getting the High Flows installed today (these make a change in sound for sure) and a tune. Next week when the TFL rear section comes in, that will be on.

Ceramic done

Perfection!! Like glass😳

Dude, your garage list looks insane. Please do a quick photoshoot over all of your cars.

Vic55 · 05-13-2022, 09:53 AM

200 cells in (OEM was 700), no video as the rev limiter at 3500 and the Porsche valving (like our G80's never full open unless WOT) made it not worthy. But I can tell you this, damnnnnn the car screams under load. I get that relatively regular Porsche sound at cruising speeds but much much more (maybe 40% more volume) at higher rpms. The GTS is definitely already a better sounding 992 than its other 3.0 brothers.

I am getting a tune added today or Monday (building the file for OBD download) and the rpm limit will be pulled.

All due respect to my own G80x--- Flat 6 sound is greater than In Line 6.

dont worry he wiped the fingerprints off
