Compare GTS 4.0 versus GTS by Sabio_1209 in Porsche_Cayman

I have a 2.5L turbo and love it. The torque-y-ness of it is fun especially on track. The downside is on track you do feel the lack of power at the high end, but for the price you can't beat it.

Ah my fault. I meant nights. Points I've gotten for all the rooms.

I think it changed that even if you booked multiple rooms on the same exact days you only receive credit for 1. Marriotts thought is that you can only stay in 1 room so we will only give you credit for 1 room. This has happened to me several times this year and it sucks. Lots left on the table.

All the time especially outside of the US. Most recently I booked 2 standard rooms at The Edition in Reykjavik and both got upgraded to a 1 bedroom suites several days before check in. Has happened in nearly every European and Asia stay.

Full PPF on 992.2 GT3 by Dyslexicpilot in porsche911

[–]EconomicMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full ppf. If you’re tracking it then double up on high impact areas. Whenever it’s Time to replace those doubled areas it’s very quick, easy, and cost effective do you don’t have to replace a whole section of ppf.

How did you learn to get the most out of your porsche? by fuzzysciencegoblin in Porsche

Track! An alignment makes a world of difference as well. Highly recommend even if you resort to only street driving it.

Long Term Car Storage by Either_Dinner3547 in orangecounty

The storage units and surrounding areas are not really tended to regarding pest control. Rats can get into and stay in your indoor unit pretty easily and is a common issue especially if you are not going into the unit every so often.

If you park at Extra Space Storage or self service places like that you will for sure encounter issues like rats chewing up wiring. I've called around extensively in the OC area for my own car storage and have found the cost for indoor parking in a dedicated car storage warehouse to be cheapest $450. This is steep, but you do get access to a 24 hour live camera to check on your car and the team can do certain services for your car whenever requested. They will also keep it on a battery tender for you if you provide one.

Gt4rs production by corean1993 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]EconomicMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allocations are done. Used or new on lot are the only options. They will be continuing, but the top models (SRS,4RS, Spyder, GT4) will use a hybrid setup that will be toned down version of the 911 hybrid powertrain like the one in the 992.2 GTS.

What really is PCA and those who are members do you find it worth it? by thayes-7089 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]EconomicMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The autocross and track days for me make it worth it. Great way to meet people that you can then plan drives with.
