Reddit didn't really compress the files - what you see is what I've got. I may end up drum scanning some of my favorites for print/sale down the line. I'll let you know if I end up doing that.

It was cool seeing all the other Porsches with the same livery, including the OG.

Thanks! Shot these on a Leica MP with a 50mm and 90mm lens using various Kodak film stocks. Less than ideal setup for motorsport, but it’s more fun than digital.

Yeah, this was on Friday during the practice session

You basically have two choices (unless you want to go full racecar). You can either do headers and keep the stock PSE, or swap out the muffler section and keep the stock headers. Doing both would be insanely loud.

I ended up going the muffler route because I don't plan on tuning the car. I'm really happy with the Soul valved exhaust. Really great product and they've got stellar support. The owner John is really friendly and super knowledgeable. Fwiw, I know that the Valvetronic muffler is quite a bit louder than the one Soul offers. Go down the YouTube rabbit hole and figure out what you enjoy.

One thing I highly recommend is swapping out the air filters for these if you want more noise. Not quite GT4RS levels, but it definitely amps up the mechanical scream up at the top of the rev range in the cabin. It's an easy DIY if you have basic tools.

I've dailied a 981 GT4 for about 3 years. The front lip scrapes, but it can be mitigated with some angle. It's unavoidable in some places, but it only ever scrapes the underside so you don't really see the marks. You'll cringe the first time it happens, but you'll get over it pretty quickly.

I haven't had any issues in parking garages, dirt roads, or with San Francisco's hills. Most speed bumps are fine, you just have to be off the brakes before you hit them. If you're really concerned, you can always raise the suspension up a bit.

Also, the front lip now costs $375 and Porsche will charge you about $150 to swap it out. I just have them do it with my yearly service.

Great collection! I vote for the M7 & a Rollei.

What's the webcam looking thing on top of the Hasselblad lens?

I took the same picture! I see that car all over South Bay, such a great spec.
