New to Porsche. Bought myself a 991.1

Paul, a beautiful looking car - health to drive and enjoy for many miles to come.

Thanks It’s hard work sitting indoors just thinking of an excuse to pop out.

Congrats that looks stunning with the aero kit. I’m sure the PSE will transform it even more, I bet you can’t wait!

 

[paulg1979]

Thanks and yes I can’t wait. It’s a shame the PSE is on back order until March but to be honest I’m shocked how loud the car is with the standard exhaust.

The only issue I have are the tyres which are P Zeros. They have zero grip in the wet but have plenty of life left in them with 5mm all round. I’ve always had MPS 4S on other cars and loved them so think I’ll stick with them.

Would agree - Michelin PS4S the way to go.
Excellent grip in the dry, good in the wet. Only downside, possibly a little noisier than the Pirellis.

 

[paulg1979]

Ok that’s great. Anyone tried the 5’s

 

[C320]

I've still got P Zero's on mine but like yourself I still have plenty of tread on them. Would be looking at Michelins or Conti's next.

Got to love a GTR I had an orange one and loved it. Porsche sounds a lot better though.

lovely GTR Paul

Our Black Stage 2009 4.25 600hp with hybrid turbos and our 2015 Stock in grey

 

[paulg1979]

Thanks. Wow bet your GTR was rapid. My next door neighbour has a 2009 grey GTR and loves it. Its mint!!

 

[TurboSandGT4]

Yes Paul rapid until I switched to 991 Turbo S - The engine behind you is the biggest difference for me

 

[paulg1979]

Yes I totally agree. Thats what I love about this car you can actually hear the engine and the exhaust. Even the GTR piped sound into the speakers. My aim is to keep the C2S and and buy a 992 C2S or CT
