I think there's now two Gareth's on this thread, but if that was for me, nope! I'm on the south coast!Gareth, are you from Aberdeen? Or been to any of the R2 meets?
Yes, im local, only became a Porsche owner in December and joined the club so haven't been to any meets yet, I will be this year though.Gareth, are you from Aberdeen? Or been to any of the R2 meets?
Many congrats on your stunning 992.2 GTS! (I have a 992.2 Carrera T on order.)View attachment 3447View attachment 3451I just love how these cars are so configurable
I have had my first 911, a 992.1 4S in white since almost new. Bought as a pre registered from Bristol with a photo which suggested it had 999 miles on the clock but when I went to pick it up, turned out it was only 99.9miles. Bought it as a daily with a set of winters that I am now selling. Absolutely loved every minute of ownership although it’s only done 30k. its currently under offer selling via The Autolounge.
I put my deposited for a 992 in Jan 2023 but was holding out for a 992.2. i picked up my 992.2 4 GTS just before Christmas and as I just keep it on the drive, I’m now waiting the 4” of snow to melt before I take it out again. It was the first GTS that the OPC had in but I saw they have just taken delivery of a Targa last week.
Clive, agree with your comments on options with the exception of the front axle lift. I didn’t have that with my 991.1 but still managed to have the slightest scrape in a steep decline. The GTS is 10mm lower so I wanted to have that option to make sure I don't have any expensive damage. i went for the slate grey neo and just love it.
Ceramics was my most expensive option but think I was just short of £160k. Also went for the glass roof, again just because it lasts more light it and I can benefit from that all year round.
I did get PPF on the front bumper, side skirts and half way up the rear 1/4s and the piano black bits on the centre console. The rest had the ceramic coating including the wheels. I used Clark Aitken who has an excellent name up here in Aberdeen and who’s dad started the R2 of the Porsche Club GB. I’ve see in done badly but Clark’s done a fantastic job and the cost? All in - £1595. Delighted. Haven’t had to wash it yet but did put new media into my water purifier that I got about 10 years ago from Race Glaze.
There is a lot of talk about the rev counter lost in the 992.2. To be honest I didn't like the 2+2 dials in the 992.1 mainly because they were hidden by the steering wheel. So I much prefer the full electronic dash
May I please ask about your front number plate sticker, and particularly what the height is, as am planning on getting a sticker front number plate for my T.
Thanks!
Lovely spec but personally i would lose the PDCC and night view assist and add the 18 way seats. I’d also add the option to fit roof bars.Eek, quite a few! This was my spec: https://porsche-code.com/PSZBQRC7
I have the front lift and it’s worth getting IMHO. Had an early 992.1 C4S that didn’t have it and grounded it a few times.
I also have the fully open and tilt sun roof which i use frequently.
Interesting, is there a particular reason for omitting this - cost, ineffectiveness etc.?Lovely spec but personally i would lose the PDCC ....

I have only ever driven one car (992.1 C4S) with the PDCC (fast road use not track) and I couldn't tell the difference at all (I admit it am no driving God) and for the cost I would rather something tangible i can experience like the 18 way adjustable seats or some interior upgrades that would enhance the cabin feel/quality. Just a personal view.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control is an active anti-roll bar system that minimizes lateral instability on uneven ground and thereby greatly improves ride comfort. Something I personally would consider quite desirable when driving Britain's dreadful road surfaces.
During cornering, PDCC suppresses lateral body movement, optimizes wheel camber and counteracts any roll generated by forces operating at each individual wheel. Steering angle and lateral acceleration have an influence too.
With PDCC, chassis and tyres hold the road much better, enabling the driver to steer through corners faster and with greater ease. It is a feature optimising turn-in, improving performance and increasing ride comfort. So, something, I would submit, that is highly desirable and worthwhile in an accomplished, top-notch sports car.

It is possible, of course, not everyone purchasing a new 911 will be aware of what PDCC actually does.

I had read the blurb too but my driving ability meant that I couldn't tell between the C4S i actually owned at the time and the C4S curtsey car i had for a few days while my rear speakers were being replaced (again!).
I can see the advantage on track perhaps or if you are able to take the car to the limit but road use (and fast road use) not so much. I take your point about the road surfaces but driving the roads i was already familiar, i couldn't tell the difference. Like i say, it's a personal view from my own experience and if it's something you value, then enjoy it!
