    I have heard Nick that once there is any blemish in the Alca, the entire interior has to be re-done. Lol. Sorry mate. Could not resist.

    The Rube Goldberg designed removable roof is a thing of beauty to watch when in motion.
    It adds 200lbs of high-cg weight to the rear of the already ass heavy 911, something I wouldn't think Porsche would endorse doing.
    I wonder how a 911 with a one piece boot-stowed manually removable roof would perform.

  • @MACtheVILLAIN
    @MACtheVILLAIN 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is unquestionably the most desirable 911 variant. History will look very kindly on the gentleman that configured this car. Out of all the garish GT3/RS, GT2s this is the ONE car that is configured correctly. Some of the interior bits can be tossed but non of the aesthetic choices take anything from this car. Excellent car. Decent video. 👍🏽

    I love Targa's! My 991 C2S coupe is nice but I still think about how easy it is to get into and out of a Targa with the top down. I've been lucky to have owned two of them back in the day; a 1977 S and a 1980 SC. I still remember my first day-long drive and looking in the rear view mirror, after driving all day without the top, and seeing what looked like a lobster. By then it was too late, I was cooked by the sunshine... Yes, the memories!

    @michaelp472 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Porsche sold under 10,000 of all 911s in the US during 208.. Small portions of those were the GTS variants. They are all wicked fast, outstanding on the road, and the couple is particularly well-suited to the track given its stiffness. The cabriolet and targa are not as stiff for obvious reasons, but with PDDC it will perform. The winning track/performance configuration is coupe with rear wheel steering with torque vectoring and PDDC with PASM Sport suspension. You will spend around $165,000. I do not notice any lag with the larger turbos. What I notice is outstanding speed off the line and acceleration. If anyone is experiencing noticeable lag, you must be driving in the wrong gear. I only drive in manual mode. Sound--the car sounds awesome and is actually LOUDER than the C4/C4s The 991.2 GTS is magnificent, and I believe the absolute sweet spot in the 911 line. I am not alone in this thinking. It's my second Porsche, and I doubt that I will let this one go.
