I'de wait for the non turbo ones to re-appear.

Turns out turboing was great for old emissions tests
but crap with the new emissiosn test.

there is talk of a flat 6 NA Cayman coming back

I'de get a cayman instead as the new 911 looks bloated to me anyway

It's not about what we want...it's about what the 75 year old in the opening post wants.

Congrats. Did you really expect anyone here to advise against buying a new Porsche? Heck...we’re all living vicariously through you. What is the ETA? Remember, pics or it didn’t happen.

Nice! Well done on the options as well, when I’m playing on the Porsche website configuration mine looks a lot like that.:D

Everybody has been great and made the experience unforgettable. Delivery in July. Thank you. Up Pelican!!!

911 Rod 02-08-2019 08:03 AM

It's just the kind of guys we are :D

tevake 02-08-2019 08:07 AM

That's a looong time till delivery, not sure how I'll hold up that long.

Very exciting decision, and nice choices.

Let us know the stages of anticipation that you go thru.

Have you thought about European delivery?
That could be another bucket list experience .

Cruise down to the Italian Lake District, Austria, Switzerland.
Great way to get acquainted with your new machine.

I'm sure we can help you drop another $20 k or so, just give us the word.

Thanks for sharing your process with us, good Fun.
Cheers Richard

Yep, we're good at that. ^^^ :D

speeder 02-08-2019 08:14 AM

I remember some family friends who were retired took a 4-star vacation in Europe many years ago. Paris/London/Switzerland/Cote d' azure/etc.

Someone asked, "what did it cost you?"

"Didn't cost us anything. It cost our kids $50k." :D

smadsen 02-10-2019 09:15 PM

I'm 72. Bought a 15,000 mile 2015 911S two years ago against the advice of all my Camry driving friends & their wives. Promptly took a trip with the wifey to the desert. Did a 125 mph pull on old Rte 66, out past where God lost his boots, near Amboy. Holy sweet Jesus! Why did I wait so long.

Congrats & looking forward to the pictures.
