992 turbo s

[Sinkygolf]

I took delivery of my car about a week ago now. It happened all very quickly as I didn’t think I would get a build slot at all this year. Have to say I am delighted and glad I did go with -10 pasm. Managed a few early morning run outs and on a twisty open road it really flows well. Enjoying the grip and punch out of low speed corners compared to the GT3 and the comfort and tech when I want to chill. Did I also say it is quick, very quick!

Glad you're enjoying the -10!

Thats good to hear, its worth it alone for the looks/stance.

You have had a fast turn-around from build to delivery- I'm hoping its the same with mine

When you get a bit more used to it, and you can find a dry twisty road. Engage the sport plus mode but switch the damping back to normal, the way in which it grips and " sling shots" out of the bends is something else...

I agree. Less than 3 weeks from build date to delivery, so very quick!
Obligatory shot!

Thank you. It’s GT Silver, sometimes hard to tell when out in the sun.

This might show a little better.

I really like GT Silver. Your car is epic!

Thanks very much. I generally go for red, blue, black, decided I wanted to go with something easier to maintain this time.

The dynamics I love, exceptional. But I still don'y like the 992 looks. The rear is just too busy, Audi like . Turbo looks dumpy. For me 991 is far better looking. As I say , not doubting the dynamics or performance, which are, as ever, off the scale.

I had the lower -10mm on both my 992 Cab and Coupe S, both cars came on Pzero. First time I drove the the coupe it felt bouncy on some roads. So following morning dropped the pressures down to 31 -33 Cold. This transformed the car, you may need to re tech the sensors. Same for the Turbo S with lower Sports suspension, I would say on the Turbo S it improves the ride even better than the C2s, it’s still firm and lower stance etc, but the lower Psi’s go a long way to stop it feeling “bouncy” on some roads. I don’t get any warnings going off with the above PSis

I’ve just dropped the pressures on my 992 Turbo S with -10mm and am amazed at the difference it makes, it rides so fluidly and is noticeably more comfortable. I have another on order and was going to go without the -10mm this time but will definitely have it again as it gives more of a GT3 sharpness to it plus it looks better.

I did have an issue with the tpms but selecting winter tyres seems to have solved this, I presume there is no issue with doing that.

Thanks Apolo1, great advice!

I know what you mean, lowering the PSIs sharpens the whole car up nicely. On the stock PSIs I found the car to bouncy. For me the lower -10mm is in keeping with what this 992TTs is all about. Yes selecting the winter settings will re set the tpms.

I have a 991 Turbo S and whilst I adore it, I think the 992 Turbo looks much better in every department and if I had the mere 80k min extra needed to upgrade Id do it.

I agree. I've got a 991.2 Turbo S Cab which I love but I'll buy a 992 just as soon as I can get back to the UK (currently in Australia).

I'm interested in the comments on the lowered sports suspension being improved with lower tyre pressures. That's good news as I really like the lowered look.

I think it looks fantastic. GT Silver bringes out the curves and crests of the body and especially the front end looks much more dynamic than the previous generation. Love it and enjoy !

Have to agree, it’s too big and overstyled for my tastes - although not as bad as the new GT3 - which has gone too far IMO.
There again, I’m one of the ‘old-skool’ 911 fans, who still values purity and simplicity in design.
Having said that the ‘Turbo’ has always been about excess, and has a different appeal to the traditional 911s.

I'm sure we've all seen this car hanging around on the 'trader.....

It seems to be a little bit of a lost lamb, struggling way below the rest of the flock.

Anybody know the background of the car? I get the impression that it's with a bit of a portacabin dealer - witness the laughable 'admin fee'.
