New car upgrade! Base to S

Hi guys
Ok, so my first 991 was a an Agate base model with a manual. Great car. Had it 18 months and loved it. There's a "Hot deal of the week" thread on on Rennlist that popped a perfect car for me right in my backyard. Guards Red, PDCC, PDK, and then some. Grabbed it with 4K miles and $40k off list. Could not pass this up. It's the color I I wanted with the performance options I wanted .

LOVE the PDK!

Anyway here are a couple shots.

Alec

Sure! Here's a couple more. The camera on this iPhone is really pretty good. Lighting could be better. Later in the day would be nicer.

Congrats, nice step up. The car is well optioned. I had a base agate 991 as well, it was a great car. I drove it for about 16 months and tracked it as well. It was always a bit underpowered which made it all the more fun to drive keeping it over 4K and winding it out.

Congratz!

Having now owned both, are you able to feel a difference in the power between the two? How do you like the PDK vs the manual?

Congrats
Love the wheels.
Red is my dream colour too but I'm still too shy for all the attention it will get.

Hi Doc-
Well, yes and no I would say. Just cruising around I would say no. Day to day driving. However, getting on the right peddle pretty hard and getting things over 5 on the tach and YES! There's more there for sure. I wanted the S for more than the power though. The bigger brakes, PASM, stuff like that are all very nice to have. This car also has PDCC which is very cool on fast on clover leafs

The bigger change for me is going to PDK from a manual. I'm glad my first 911 was a stick, and I really loved it but this PDK is just fantastic. Can't say enough good things about it.

Life is too short to be shy. If you love red you should get red. My philosophy on that is if you don't do something because of what others think of you (like buying a red sports car) it's just as bad as doing something just for what others think. Do what YOU like. Who gives a sh*t.

My 2 cents...
