My friend Chuck has a new 991

All of 55 miles on the odometer. I love the color and the wheels are a perfect match to the body color. 400 HP of water cooled awesomeness!

I love the graphite wheels. They look great with that color.

these are 400hp now... unbelievable. Wonder which will be faster around the track. Im thinking the 9-10year old 6gt3 will still outpace the current Carrera S in PDK.

I have a 991C2S that I have used as my DD since June 2012 and love it. It is so fast and well balanced. I got 27,500 miles on the OEM Pirelli PZero tires, including one track event.

Nice car, but it would be 10 lbs lighter without all the emblems adorning the rear bumper cover.

Beautiful car! I love the color. Congratulations to your friend! I would happily give my left nut for one fully loaded with all the goodies. Does it have the PDK? I would get the PDK for the convenience, but really so my wife could drive it as well. The new 991 is like a grand touring car in my mind, something you could drive from coast to coast in with all the comfort you can afford. I predict that in a few years no major car manufacturer will offer a stick shift, and so goes the changes that are taking place in the automotive world. Porsche is living for the future and remembers the past for nothing more than inspiration. That is why Porsche will be around for a very long time.
