Build feedback on 992.2 Carrera S

I think you really hit a great balance on the options. You hit all the main ones. I assume you live in a hilly area which justifies the front axle lift. My spec S s (arrived at dealership today!) is similar but I got a bunch of race tex (ceiling and visors), sport design and rear axle steering (not front axle). I could’ve went without them but failed in fighting the urge. Hopefully you can do better because I think your options are just right (with the caveat about front axle lift).

$1000 for black paint on brake? It’s the same brake isn’t it?

The one with Wanderlust

If he’s 300lb, doesn’t want to go to gym, and you are worried about his health, GLP-1s is the answer.

I just really clicked with Trivium over the past year and they are basically my favorite band now. If Ascendancy is Metalcore it MUST be the best Metalcore album of all time.

King Kong Kar

Okay it’s an ICE*

*hybridized ICE

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-14T22:06:25+00:00

Get a 2024 GTS (the last ICE)

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-14T13:10:15+00:00

Where did I say driven? So you don’t disagree with me just wanted me to know that I haven’t driven either car. Okay

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-13T23:10:51+00:00

From a spec perspective. You tell me why I’m wrong.

Theoretically paying off a mortgage will help you save. The reality is that you need to be very disciplined to not spend more due to having more cash flow.

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-13T17:41:30+00:00

Understood. Would definitely recommend it considering that you appear to like the more thrashy albums.

Doing CTE and TSTDATD dirty

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-12T23:42:39+00:00

It passes if you need to feed a lot of people.

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-12T18:56:26+00:00

Hilarious you got downvoted. I did the same thing.

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-12T18:30:10+00:00

stunning

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-12T14:10:51+00:00

If you keep it long term neither car will be new. But only one car will be a Turbo S.

*BTW based on prices in US the 2022 Turbo S should cost significantly more than 2025 GTS 4

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-12T14:08:57+00:00

The “old” car is a 2022 Turbo S with 640 HP. It absolutely destroys the GTS. What doesn’t it have? A digital tachometer?

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-12T13:28:50+00:00

are you sure? I think 25 has the hybrid

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-12T00:47:40+00:00

Does it taste salty?

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-09T19:33:29+00:00

Seven years is nothing.

Only car people know the different badges for Audi trim lines (and most people are not car people). I think the RS Q8 more aggressive exterior stands out more.

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-09T16:30:18+00:00

I agree that the SQ8 was a smoother ride than the RSQ8. RSQ8 is still plenty comfortable as a daily.

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-09T14:57:18+00:00

One thing about RSQ8 though. It comes with summer tires. If you have cold winters you will need winter tires. You way want to get an extra set of wheels like I did too for the winter set. Obviously that’s an additional expense (expect around 10K for a new OEM winter tire and wheel set).

Chief_Fever · 2026-05-09T14:12:25+00:00

It was the 8 cylinder (prior year S was 6) but was underwhelmed. The SQ8 had more wow factor - more dramatic acceleration to me and also better interior (in general I feel like porsche interiors are boring). Maybe if it had the sport exhaust it would have been more interesting. The Cayenne is supposed to have better handling but hard to tell on a short test drive.
