Stephen Tinker Posted 28April, 2021 Report Share Posted 28April, 2021 That's remarkable - I well remember Yamaha recommended 40,000km service intervals on their 5 valve cylinder head valve adjustments - nobody believed it thinking it was just "corporate speak" but it was true, even on 12,000rpm engines.....

DJM Posted 28April, 2021 Report Share Posted 28April, 2021 Being a technical kind of guy, I think the correct term for the 991.1 engine/cam lobe “fix” is polishing a turd 💩 I’ve had a GT Porsche engine go bang on me once before, not going there again. It’s forever on your mind, could it happen again. That’s what put me off 991.1 E, F, G whatever series motor, they all still suffer the same fundamental flaw. I’m enjoying redlining the 991.2 engine without a worry in the world. Cup car cred 👌🏻 MHC, firstone, SS 3 and 4 others 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have taken it seriously and replaced them with a cup engine too. That's a lot of money to have in a turd. I have 20k in an m96 fart, it's not exactly a turd because it's only a bearing away from ok. Shame porsche. DJM and luzzo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS 3 Posted 9May, 2021 Report Share Posted 9May, 2021 So there is eleven (11) 991.2 GT3 s on the market as of today that seems to be a lot of cars to me it will be interesting to see what the market says over the next few months. I wonder how many buyers there are for these cars? I’d be interested to hear from others on how much more they think the 992 is worth over the equivalent 991.2 For Sale 991.1 GT3 - 6 For Sale 991.2 GT3 - 11 For Sale 991.1 RS - 8 For Sale 991.2RS - 9 For Sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiller Posted 9May, 2021 Report Share Posted 9May, 2021 I did a configuration for a 992 the other day (for shits and giggles, not in the market), basic spec with just the LWB seats and it came in at 408K drive away. I would have thought 70-75K price delta over a 1.2 is reasonable? SS 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS 3 Posted 12May, 2021 Report Share Posted 12May, 2021 12 x 991.2 on the market now this one has ceramics at $362K before on roads making the range now $345K(this car started at 339K) to a whopping $377K There has been one reduction in price a black comfort spec GT3 in QLD was $369,888 now $355,888 https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/porsche-911-2018/oag-ad-19816902/?utm_campaign=search-alert&utm_source=notification-center&utm_medium=email&csn_atid=01ed067e-6cfa-4913-b1c9-700235ac6530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWY Posted 12May, 2021 Report Share Posted 12May, 2021 I agree with the comment it's better value to buy the 992 than a 1.2 at current asking prices as long as you can wait for delivery. $402k drive away for one I configured up without too many options. Dealer has suggested even putting your name down now will get you a car towards end of 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought 70-75K price delta over a 1.2 is reasonable? I just ran one with as close as I could get to the spec of my 991.2 and it came to $449,850 drive away. Buckets and leather pump the price up. If you added things like carbon roof and trim which I assume will be popular, that’ll add another chunk. I tend to agree with your reasonable delta so that would put my car at 375k drive away or about 350k ex Vic stamp duty. Any buyers? If anyone has 350k burning a hole in their pocket, call me 😂 it might explain why all 1.2s (including Porsche listings) are now all mid to high 300s when just a couple of months ago they were low 300s.

Given yours is now for sale? that would make it 13 currently on the market 😂😂 good pickings atm!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiller Posted 13May, 2021 Report Share Posted 13May, 2021 ^^^ both look shit hot. I went the blue with silver wheels. Boy that configurator is good. If the 992 lives up the hype, perhaps I could be swayed to sell the lot and stump up some more mullah to make a jump. I'm sure I'd chicken out when push came to shove though. I really love the motorsport connection to this new car, just not comfortable with the size. edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
