One of the Last 991 C2 NA Black Edition

Took delivery on Saturday. I absolutely love the look of this car (somewhat bias to be sure), but nothing can compare to the Sport PASM suspension. In the normal mode, this car drives so much differently than my 2014 C2 with a base suspension. I can't wait for the Spring to get it where I purpose built it to be, the track.

Gorgeous car, friend. Absolutely love the Black Edition and I consider yours to be a proper track toy where these beasts shine. I can't wait to hit the tarmac again when my GTS arrives.

Cheers!


Edit: Care to elaborate on PASM Sport? I specced the GTS with it and I look forward to a firmer, more planted ride. I test drove a few on Downtown LA streets just to make sure I'd survive the daily drive, and it felt perfect (not too firm, not too soft).

I have found the normal ride a bit different than the regular suspension ride. My biggest issue is the lack of front spoiler clearer with the ACK. It is impossible to avoid hitting it in and out of a modest driveway incline. The firmness of the normal mode ride is about 15% firmer due to the shorter springs and shock action. The biggest difference is the diminished roll due to stiffer sway bars. I estimate that in normal mode the roll rate is reduced by 50% in turns.
I have no track experience with this car but between the Sport PASM, PTV+ and ACK spoilers it will stick like glue on both straights and turns. Now I have get my AWE exhaust on this car.

Great; glad to hear it. The ride on my C2S is amazing and super compliant. I know the GTS will be a tad bit rougher, but I'm looking forward to more stiffness when being pushed up top.

I've had my GTS for 1 weeks now. I drive in the Northshore of Chicago, with plenty of bumps and the ride is perfectly fine
