No sooner then our bright yellow 991 shop car arrived in the shop, it was up in the air getting torn apart.

While our first 991-exclusive wheel design is out for testing and final design tweaks, we decided to focus some attention on the exhaust system and intake. We'll see what kind of goodies we can come up with...

Next up....aero bits, but until then..enjoy a couple pics...

 

Subscribed! This should be a fun thread!

 

Hi Tom, I ordered my 991 from Champion, a base manual tranny car. Can you put to rest once and for all the varying opinions on the manual car? Some say the foot well is far too small to comfortably accomodate the clutch pedal and others say the new 7 spd tranny is a big step backward and has lost it's mechanical feel. I would be very disappointed if this is the case and would likely opt for a left over GTS instead. Have you driven or know of anyone who has driven a manual car that can enlighten us all?

 

This should be fun

 

^^ To be perfectly honest, I haven't driven one yet so I wouldn't want to influence you one way or the other.

What I will say is that most folks are always very critical of things that are "new". A lot of people say the 991 is a step backwards in general, because of the electronic steering, and the ****pit...blah blah. Having driven our PDK car, I can tell you that this is easily the best driving 911 I've ever been in.

Cars are a very individual thing...some people will hate the things that other people will love. Never mind what peoples say...you'll love your car, I'm sure.

 

Is that the Porsche sport exhaust on that car?

 

How much effort is there to change the air filter?

Yes it is.

You need to remove the rear bumper and tail lights completely to access the airbox.

 

I also ordered a base - do you have any idea when you will get yours delivered?

 

looks good, so much extra stuff around the rear mufflers, gonna be difficult to remove without removing bumper as was possible in 997

 

Wow, that's fantastic. a simple maintenance task just got 200 times more complicated!

 

My base cab is coming at the end of April.

 

can you guys just make it turbo equipped - you can be the first shop to have a 991 turbo!

 

That might make for an expensive air filter change.

Almost unbelievable unless they use those new fangled lifetime air filters.
