Hey all,

We are the proud owners of this new to us 2014 GTS. We live in Portland, OR area and bought this in Bellevue WA.



Only 16,700 miles and still under factory warranty. Previous owner decided to do muffler delete so it sounds good but very loud, we are currently looking for the Sport exhaust mufflers to replace the straight pipes. The car makes me and anyone that rides in it giggle like a little girl. It's fantastic.

 

Welcome aboard. The GTS is an amazing car.

 

Welcome to the brand. I have a Panny 2015 GTS and love it. I'm sure you'll like it even more as you drive it. As I'm sure you already know, its fast. One thing you might want to look into is joining the Porsche Club of America (PCA)...just look on line.

 

Thank you sir.

This is our 3rd Porsche.

1979 911 SC, sold.
2005 Carrera, sold.
Currently
2014 Panamera GTS
2015 E350 Wagon
1990 Miata VVT swap, track and autox car with ORPCA.

 

congrats! Looks and sounds good!

 

I'm jealous of that sound! Almost sounds like my old M5 with an ASR exhaust. Definitely makes my Turbo even with the fabspeed down pipes sound weak. Maybe go with it a little longer to see if you can live with it prior to getting the sport exhaust put on.

Either way, congrats! You're going to have fun.

 

Sounds great! Enjoy and welcome! I have a '15 GTS, and I don't think that I'll ever get rid of it! Its exhaust is my anti-stress therapy! :-)

 

She's a beaut. Love the straight pipes

 

Congratulations and welcome.

I have a 2015 Panamera GTS in white with the same wheels. A virtual twin.

Two questions, Mon.

1). In what part of the Portland area do you live? I'm in LO/WL. My son recently said he saw me on the road, but it wasn't me in the situation he described. I do know of 2 other exact color/wheel combinations that Sunset delivered last year.

2). What brand/version of gray paint do you have on your garage floor? Have you had any problems with the paint lifting/peeling when you back out of your garage the next day after parking big, sticky, warm tires on it? Also, it looks pretty fresh. Any issues with staining in the fall/winter when our NW roads are so dirty from wet leaf and road film that then drips and pools on the paint? (You can probably guess why I'm asking).


Thanks

 

Congratulations! Enjoy every mile!

 

Congrats! Great color.

 

Fantastic engine sound, beautiful car! Enjoy! Can't wait til mine arrives.

 

Congrats and welcome to the family !!!!!

 

Thanks everyone for the welcome!!


I'm in Tualatin, so very close. I used to see white Panamera 4S (I believe) at Cars and Coffee when it was in Tigard, not so much anymore in Wilsonville.

Regarding the garage floor, it's a product by Sherwinn Williams called concrete stain.

Add a powder product called Shark skin for anti slip.

Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the product. Water based, acryllic and very easy to apply. A really thorough acid cleaning then roll on the product. It's held up pretty well, including hot tires in the summer, jackstands, engine hoist for Miata engine swap, brake clean, oil/gas. It will scratch with heavy metal but doesn't chip or flake or peel like an epoxy.
I've gotten lots of compliments from others about how clean it looks. It has stained a bit from black rain/road grime dripping off cars but not to terribly bad.
Here's a garagejournal post I made when I did the floor about 4 1/2 years ago.

You can see how it looked with just applied.
I say reapply every 5 years if you want it looking great.

 

Just want to double check because sometimes people confuse things. He took out 2 rear mufflers installed under the trunk floor? or the Resonator under the tranny tunnel? Or all three?
