    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    Hello Rennteam moderator,

    CongratulationsSmiley..I would have made the same choice..although I will stay with the GT Models (either upgrade to MKII 997 GT3 or 997 GT2)..

    Yes, the info I have also suggest the 991 will not make a big difference in performance...besides, the crappy 991 intererior really ruined it..and who knows who it wil be preceived by the customers..if they dont like it it will probably loose value faster than a 997..that would be interesting to see by the way - both cars will be produced simultaneously for a while.

    You mentiond that the 991 will not be a new car..can you be a bit more specific..? You know we like your ideas here so much..Smiley (or sent me a mail ..I will offer you one of these then..Smiley)

    There are other forums where people believe the 991 can lap the ring in 7:33Smiley..so I really appreciate your realistic views..

    PS: why for that money not a GT3 instead of 997 GTS?

    Grüsse,

     

     

     


    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    Congratulations Christian on your choice of a GTS - what took you so long?..

    I notice you chose PDK... look forward to hearing your rationale on that... and also that you've chosen to delete the side decals?  Can't see the rear, as yet, have you individualised that as well?

    Really look forward to your full report on Monday...

    Congrats RC - and welcome to the (growing) GTS club!

    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    Oh my god all these new posts for nothing ?  i thought somone post a picture of the 991 without any camuo.

    KresoF1:

    BTW, grey 991 is not Meteor Grey. Color is probably Achatgraumetallic(new color for Pana Turbo S that will be available for 991 range). Gold 991 Carrera S shown in video is in color called Limegoldmetallic. You can(unfortunately) expect some new Brown shades as well...

     Thanks for the info Kreso! Do you happen to know what the colour of that dark blue-green metallic one is that we saw on video?

    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    Beautiful GTS RC  Congrats!!

    I'm interested as well why you decided against the 991?

    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    Congrats RC. But I see that I am not the only one who is curious!

    I love the GTS Cab, IMO this is the best cab porsche has offered for many many years. This car is a keeper, and not a 3 years lease car, conisdering the 991 coming out in the  next months.

    So I would guess that this car is meant to stay long?!

    Mazar - The posts weren't "for nothing"...Smiley

    When the founder and mainstay of Rennteam (RC) makes this kind of decision... it's BIG NEWS in this community....Smiley

    Could someone please move all GTS-related posts in one of the various GTS-threads? RC could do that for example... Smiley

    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    Actually, we can't move individual posts to another thread. Sorry

    I expect RC will start a new thread for his photos, driving impressions and detailed report

    I assume he posted the few photos and news above just:

    (1) to break the news that he has bought a 997 GTS Cab to replace his 997.1 TT to cover the period until he (probably) gets a 991 variant; and

    (2) because there are others in the same situation who were deciding whether to:

    (a) get a 997 GTS variant and keep it or
    (b) wait for a 991 or
    (c) get a 997 GTS only until the 991 becomes available.

    AFAIK he has done 2(c)

    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    Sorry about the GTS mess-up, we should really continue the 991 discussion or we could open a new sticky 991 thread and "un-stick" this one because it already got very very long.

    What do you guys think ? New 991 thread or keep this one ?

    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    New 991 thread with semi official info by you... Now, please...


    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    @RC: just my thoughts ....
     
    This thread is for 991 spy shots and pre-launch discussions etc. IMO we should keep this one as it is until the 991 launch.

    Once the 991 launch happens, IMO all the official info should be located on a new 991 launch thread for reliability and easy access.

    I think your own photos, driving impressions etc on the 997 GTS Cab deserve their own thread

    Just my thoughts ... this seems logical to me

    These are exciting times

    I agree with Easy on a new 991 thread when the car is released, officially or unofficially!

    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    I agree with Easy too.

    Yes, that seems to be more logical Smiley

    This days seems more longer than usual... we are so close to the 991 reveal but it`s hard the waiting... Smiley

    I'm with Easy too.

    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    I'm all for a new 991 thread once the car is launched..

    I have no doubt that RC will open a new thread when he expands his thoughts on his GTS on Monday...

     Is this Rennteams longest thread ever?


    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    Maybe now

    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    That depends on how you measure the 'longest thread'

    If it's total number of posts, then maybe this is the longest ever.

    If it's the most photos, then maybe I hold that record

    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

     Autobild nº 32 / 2011 brings a new design on the 991... different from the previous...

    So, how it`s gonna be? I`m total lost...  

    Autobild_(32-2011).jpg


    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    The pics are as close as possible to real thing.

     


    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

    Easy , I agree with your approach. Very much looking forward to RC review on his GTS... Maybe we could convince him to do a youtube video...

     Headlights are the same as the 997 headlights... 

    In the laste video we saw, it seems much different from Autobild pic

    Re: 991 spy shots Thread Closed

     It that front will be like that, then I do not know if I will get used to these ' chinese ' looking front blinkers ! why go longer then the intake part ?  Just so they can do it right on the 991.2  ( exactly as they did with the 997 )  and sell the ' best looking 991 ever''  ?
