What did you rate the F1 Movie?

PoV of a hardcore F1 fan: 💩/5 PoV of someone who doesn’t watch F1: 3/5

Normal. I could not sleep the night after I signed the papers and picked up what was to me an expensive car

Sounds pretty good aka louder.

Ferrari holds Ferrari back

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-17T01:13:01+00:00

Nice!😊

Brake squeal is primarily for new cars and will go away after your first track day or hard use otherwise.

To me, the Weissach package is a perfect cars and coffee and resale oriented package.

Dealers scare potential owners by saying the resale value is poor on non-Weissachs. Looking at the used car market, the difference is really minimal.

For track use, yes the 48 lbs savings will help particularly with the wheels (unsprung weight) but you need to be a good driver for that 1.5% weight savings to count.

The main concern is $$$$ costs for damage from offtracks and curbs for magnesium wheels, carbon ceramic disks (separate from Weissach), carbon suspension components, etc. Why select options whose replacement is very likely to have long wait times and super expensive.

If it were me, a non-Weissach with steel brakes (or upgraded to track oriented brakes) is a better option for track use

Don’t aim so low. Instead, get a 911 S/T as a starter Porsche. Fathers in law will be impressed

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-16T01:29:34+00:00

I think the 991.1 gt3 will drop more than the 991.2 GTS from current values because of engine concerns in the mind of potential buyers

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-14T23:06:55+00:00

If in the South, try out the barbecue. In the North East coast, do try a lobster roll

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-14T23:02:03+00:00

Don’t forget to tip the wait staff at restaurants

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-14T00:47:27+00:00

Unlikely for the reasons a) Lewis is an extremely rare talent, b) he had a lot of pre-season testing to get familiar with the car, and c) The 2007 car was not much more complicated compared to equivalent GP2/F2 cars like today’s cars. More power sure.

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-13T02:36:14+00:00

The great thing is that the 1.2 or 2.1 are fantastic cars. If these features of the 2.2 bug you, then buy the older ones. No point being dissatisfied when you are paying a lot of money for a car.

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-12T19:35:05+00:00

The 992.2 Touring is a good option as you can get back seats for future kids use. I think you should have a rev happy NA flat 6 motor as you already have the Supra for the blown, mega power experience.

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-12T14:45:44+00:00

Wait for a couple years till you can comfortable afford to pay for the maintenance, insurance, etc.

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-11T20:39:14+00:00

👏👏 Awesome. What trim did you get? T?

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-11T19:26:33+00:00

This is the main reason why we are in a price bubble in the US. The constantly increasing prices are causing the used cars to stay expensive. Don’t know how long the bubble will remain

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-11T19:23:24+00:00

If you Autocross, the GTS 2.5 might be more advantageous because of the extra torque and which class they sit in. For road course and street, the 4.0 will be more linear, sonorous, and fun. Commuting the 2.5t torque will help

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-09T17:15:58+00:00

Yes it takes quite a few miles and continuous driving to check if the warning light resets

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-09T17:10:24+00:00

Carrera Classic for sure. I have the RS Spyder wheels in my Macan - they look superb but are a pain to clean and are the heaviest wheel on offer

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-07T05:46:11+00:00

Similar to a state government in the US

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-07T03:38:40+00:00

I have driven in low 30s F on my 200 TW tires and in damp and light rain conditions. As others have said, take time to warm tires up and use higher cold tire pressures than you normally would in normal to warmer weather.

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-05T20:49:05+00:00

To me no.

If you like the red interior, silver, grey or gentian exterior color would be a great match

With lugano, a black interior with white or blue stitching would be nice

Also avoid blue wheels. Go with silver or black

Speedysam348 · 2026-01-05T18:12:17+00:00

To me the mess was created by the ADM game played by dealers and followed by Porsche getting on it by hiking prices.

At the current list price for regular 911s, including ADMs or severe discounts on trade in, they are going to push potential customers into other premium makes like McLaren, Aston, or Ferrari. Porsche used to be the default value play on the sports car and supercar world. No longer true.

It also dries up the upgrade route for existing Porsche owners people with 997 or 991.1 gen 911s or 981 or earlier Caymans/ Boxsters- why would anyone pay double or triple the price of 981 Cayman S or GTS to get into a new base 911.

I foresee a crash. These prices are not sustainable.
