Re: Ladies and gentlemen, the new 991... (LAUNCH thread)
I agree with nBerry - YEAH!
For a DIY like me it looks like I will need to buy a lift for my garage - which I have been looking forward to.
The horrible part to me is the number of SNAP and fasten connections for the body and other plastic parts. It made me nervous just to watch him snap the car apart. Those types of connections fail after half a dozen times or so - right after warranty runs out, lol. Causes a lot of rattles to snap a car together like that as well. It never goes together tight! I can see the whole rear blowing off at 187mph if one of those fasteners fails.
I just replaced the airfilter on my 997.1 - not a bad job at all. Interestingly the 997.2 is even simpler and very quick to change. Looks like they went the other directions.
On the bright side, once you have all that stuff off (which they did make simple to do) you have excellent access for all types of other repairs. - belts, AC, alternator, etc.
