Firstly I would like to thank / place blame with Rmlovett1 (Richard) and NardinNut (Jordan) for enabling this decision! We got this traded in recently it’s a ‘23 with only 1,500 miles, sky top and already had the 2” lift and 35’s on it from the extreme recon package. It’s purple reign metallic with a satin wrap on it and we love it! Just got it ceramic tinted and the wheels will be powder coated in the next week or so.

It’s an absolute hoot to drive and Jordan said it perfectly….it’s faster than a wrangler has any right to be lol. It’ll pass everything but the gas station, and I’m really enjoying it so far.

Thanks guys!

Huge congrats brother. I love these. Amazing vehicles.

I’m on the fence with a final edition. I’d sell the RS7 to get it as I really don’t want more cars.

Drive in good health. They are a ton of fun.

Not mine (obviously), but I saw this as I was leaving the neighborhood last week. Not a great picture, but a fairly rare car apparently. Probably not more than 6 or 7 of them on TRF!

Congrats on the 392 I missed that! I too have entertained tossing an order in before the close the books. Sometimes I miss my gobi 392 what a gloriously obnoxious and unnecessary vehicle.

Not sure id part with an RS7 for one Seth lol but thankfully I don’t have that quarrel.

Always loved those. Beautiful car. I’ll have one one day when I kick the small squatters out of the house.

Sorry brother, I missed this.

First off, thanks. I’ve loved the targa forever. Aesthetically, also my favorite 911. Potentially my favorite car. Though I too wish they made a turbo. But, lately I’ve really been admiring the sleek lines of the non vented 911’s. Honestly, I just can’t get enough of the line in general. Now I want a T and GT3.

The targa right now is getting a stage 2 tune along with down pipes. I’m not normally a mod guy. I tend to stay stock, but really feel this car needs some additional sizzle and some noise too. I thought it would be fine stock, and really, it is. But I’ve gotten used to a lot of power. And these tuners have it down to a science with 911’s. Porsche is also pretty lenient about it, so I’m giving it a shot.

Sadly, I did sell the F8. I’m pretty adamant about not having more than 3 cars. Two in the garage, one in the driveway. I used to keep cars at a local storage space. But I detest the $500 (each) a month payment and the inconvenience of it all.

Selling the F8 was hard. That car is truly special. But in the end, my heart is with Porsche and I’ve been looking for a manual 992 GTS with ceramic brakes for a long time. I’m also super reluctant to sell my turbo s. I just think it’s the perfect car…for me.

Someday I might pick between them. I realize I have a tendency to get bored and move on. But for now, I’m enjoying the best of both worlds.

I agree, anything manual is special nowadays...throw in a discontinued V10 and this is even more special.

My man, you did well! The 992 GTS is a stunning-looking car and with a tune, this will tickle your senses. The F8 is probably one of the best-looking modern Ferrari, if not, the best-looking. But, the car will not give you the spine tingling sensations like a GT3 or GTS with exhaust set up.

You go through cars faster than I go through women

This goes without saying but we will need soundclips of the targa post downpipe and tune.

Nice addition! Especially gated.

My wife loves the R8. Despite teaching her the basics of stick (on my Boxster), she’d prefer it in R or S tronic.
