The car has 7500 miles on it and is a CPO. Has all the GTS mechanical and electronic tech bits. Picking it up in a few days, but looking very much forward to really driving it. I actually had a deal all sealed up today on a new 2019 Cayman S for a few $ less, but the GTS with almost no miles on it and this color combo were impossible to pass up.

I’ll post a few pics when I pick it up later this week.

Congrats on your new car! You will not gonna be regretting the purchase. My brother has 981 Boxster S which I’ve driven on the track. Stock for stock it blows the Z out of the water on track performance. Can’t imagine how much faster the 718 gts will be. Such a fun car to drive.
Anyways I see you are from Philadelphia area, I am Porsche tech here in NYC dealer. We do DME tunes. If you do it through us, we won’t void your warranty so you’re covered if anything happens. If interested or want more info PM. Easy power to gain from this turbo engines.

M4–has been my dream car for over 20 years (back when they used to call it M3

. But I dunno, it’s just not calling my name anymore, or at least right now. I haven’t looked up the numbers on an M4 recently, and I’m sure they’re crazy off-the-charts, but as I said I’m just not being drawn to it anymore. I can totally see owning something like this in the future (it will probably be EV by then); feel like this is my last chance for “are you f’in crazy for buying this?” [which btw is exactly what my ex-gf told me 11 yrs ago] hoorah. More seriously though, I’ve always valued good handling way higher than more power; and with even just Toyota Camry sedans making like 300ish HP nowadays, it’s just gotten silly. At the end of the day, unless you’re on the track, how much is too much?

As I said, I’m slowly talking myself into the Cayman. But as I am not in a rush, you guys are reminding me that I shouldn’t have so much tunnel-vision and should at least go and check out some of these other options. Man...the next few weeks/months may actually be fun!

The M4 will not disappoint. Ever since I bought the BMW, the Z has been sitting in the garage and collecting dust. As one should expect, given the disparity in price, the F82 is a far superior car in every aspect. The S55 does not sound as good as the VQ, but it pulls considerably harder. The interior is probably what makes the car feel somewhat dated. I ordered mine with extended Merino leather which makes the cabin feel a little more plush; but to be honest, aside from the HUD and a few negligible M4 competition details, everything else is identical to my wife's F30 which costs a third of the price. Let me know if you need more insight on the M4. Anyway, congrats on the Porsche!

Well, it's official, I picked the car up on Saturday. Have not had any time to post, partially because I've been out enjoying the car and also because...well...family, life, etc.
Please meet my new baby (sorry for the rushed and rather crappy pics), father and child are both doing great

Hotrodz · 11-25-2019, 10:00 PM

What a beautiful car. Congratulations my friend! I can say I am only slightly envious, lol!

Wow, gorgeous car, love the color.

Congratulations, what a great purchase.

Teutonic motors are the best sports cars.
