I’ll get it back complete in about a week.

This will be my new daily. Got rid of the turbo s and the RRS SVR. Loved both. Just me being me. But this kind of is both those cars in one. And I don’t need 4 cars. My build. As you can likely tell considering it is the same spec as the Tubro S. I did this in a GTS tho considering it’s a wagon and I like the aggressive look of the GTS line.

It’s fast without the tune. But with it, it’ll be about 600 hp. Adds plenty of torque too. Plenty fast for this grocery getter and road bike hauler. I bet it’ll be great for my long road trips too.

I’ll miss the turbo s. I thought I’d keep that forever. But a few reasons compelled me to sell it. I imagine I’ll get one back before too long. Maybe. Maybe not.

Well done Seth ! It looks sharp! Congratulations

Anyone import a car from Germany before? https://www.classicdriver.com/en/car...ch/1982/961112

Is swearing allowed on this forum? Just.... WOW.

Another absolute stunner. Much nicer than my bike hauler lol ��

How much does the tune bump it up? (I would Google it but idk the year or spec) 600hp seems pretty solid for a "grocery getter"

Still blows my mind seeing these numbers. When I was a kid I remember the 04? Z06 coming out with a boasted 404HP and I thought that was the epitome of sports car performance. Almost a joke by modern standards.

Looks like a nice solid vehicle. I hope she fills the niche well. Certainly is a beauty

Looking good, very happy for you! Progress progress - in no time it will be filled with mechanical marvels

Ha...yeah, same here. I remember the 06 z06 having like 505 and thinking that was nuts.

Thanks Seth. Just some drywall, paint, doors, odds and ends now. Getting close.

This is a must buy. Have you ever dealt with Curated in Miami?

Was just there.

Wowsers.

What a place.

They are a class act too.

I attempted to work with John a few years back to sell my Murci SV as I knew a girl who worked for him but he never responded to my inquiry. I watch their CuratedTV (new Lotec C1000 video was an incredible story) and enjoy their content but haven't interacted with them. I see him import cars mostly from Europe and SA, he'd probably be the one to ask for help on importation.

I built the turbo s with the night assist. Big mistake. First it doesn’t work well. Second, it’s placed very poorly. It broke a month into ownership. I fought with Porsche for months. They won’t warranty it. Cost is about 5k to fix. My dealership fought for me too. They got it down to $1,500 the first time. But warned me it would be 5k if it happened again. And then it happened again. It appeared I was drinking more with it busted than not. And it throws codes.

I’d also worry every time I drive hard that it would get hit again and I’d have a big fix coming.

Then I had also just gotten the R8 Performance Spider. I like it way more than I thought I would. That V10 is intoxicating. And I love the styling. Felt redundant to have both.

And it just hit 25k miles. This car, similar to others at this level, start to drop $$ hard at 10k miles. At 25k, it was now, or keep it forever. I got good value for it. Especially considering the mileage and how hard I drove it.

I also want something I can track. I won’t track too many times a year. But in a convertible, you just can’t do it. So eventually I might pick up a coupe, or a gt3 or an S or a GTS to rip around in. I’ve learned by driving a lot of 911’s that they are all epic cars. Im also starting to prefer the lines without the big vents in the side.

And I just got bored. It was simply time. I’m surprised I don’t miss it. Not yet anyway.

Makes a lot of sense and thanks for sharing. Enjoy

Sweet Ride Seth! Congratulations on the pick up. What's the over/under on how long you keep it?

Lmao. 6 months. But I think if I keep it that long, I’ll keep it a few years.

It’s a perfect car that does everything. Everything very very well. And I love how unique it is.

It’ll just take getting used to not being in an SUV as a daily.

[superdog]

@screwly congrats again man. Love the car. Truly epic ride.
