Agreed!xeryn388 wrote: Tue Jan 28, 2025 3:54 pm These new 911s are insane. A Carrera S beating a GT3? That's mind-blowing. It’s crazy how far performance has come.

Gives Porsche a challenge with the next GT cars - the world is now producing over 1000 bhp cars at the top end and there is only so much aerodynamics can do . Any bets on the GT2RS?

I’m very happy with my 992.2 S after two months of ownership. Achingly fast, glued to the road and still gets 29mpg on the highway. Here it is with its spiritual ancestor:

Beautiful cars and a great photo too! The colors of the portables in the background work well with the cars, creating an interesting and intriguing composition.
I need to locate some good photo opportunity spots. I know they exist but I never remember to actively look for them. (Also, hard to do when driving, especially in our typically heavy traffic that is largely constant and everywhere anymore.

I meant to reply earlier that your suggestion is a good one. Would be great to get that way!PSU_Crash wrote: Sat Aug 23, 2025 9:07 pmCome on out to east TN and we will run the mountians. Beautiful scenery, great roads and none of that traffic, mostlyblueline wrote: Sat Aug 23, 2025 3:09 pm
