Much appreciated, loving it so far. Not sure that I can go back to a naturally asperated ride ever again. The torque is amazing and available, it would seem, all the time.

In comparison I find the R230 and my W212 to be better assembled with higher quality materials and equally great to drive, albeit in different ways.
Not missing the 991.1S so far. Doesn't hurt that I got out at the right time and basically drove the car for free for 21 months including hitting the "Tail of the Dragon" on the way home from Houston where I bought it. Was lucky enough to arrive at the Tail on a Tuesday afternoon just before Thanksgiving, 50 and overcast, so perfect weather for driving. Saw only 3 other cars the whole time. Probably the most fun I've ever had driving in my life which includes 5 years of track days from WGI to VIR. I did love the AMG but realised I want the luxary and gizmos missing from my 911. I think the AMG and Pcar would have been very similar. I did look at a 2013 AMG63 (231) but was scared off by the 56,000 miles on the clock and the trade offer on the 911 that was 6500 less than what I eventually got from another dealer....go figure. Geography plays a huge part in these deals. Bought a Macan GTS 2 summers back in N Carolina, drove it for a month and sold it to a dealer here for 2k more than I paid......I won't tell the tale about the beating I took on my Cayanne Turbo however or my 993 track car....sold in 2010 so guess the result, lol......

If you want I will reach out to the seller. He took the car off market but you never know. A word...1. it has a carfax ding...2. he is pretty firm on the price. The car is incredibly clean. Let me know if you want me to contact him.
