Yep all the Porsches shown are beauties in this thread.

Sport bikes get out the way in the twisties with this. Still cannot ever get enough of the flat 6 S growl to rev limiter. Intoxicating. Can get you in trouble with the law too easy. Trust me on this. Haha!

Our son years ago learning adhesion limits at the track. Short shift kit for the manual 6 speed is key. Snick snick snick. Still a blast to drive for all of us - so have no interest in selling anytime soon.

We have a Benz Collector and Vintage status. The Porsche will likely be added down the road. Too much fun not to keep for summer fun. Much less lean than the sport bikes we pass - as they slow down to let us by. Cops galore however. So we are all very “careful“ with that.

I installed a the short shift kit on my 991. That was the most involved mod I've done. Little did I know it was preparing me for my future Jeep ownership. :LOL:

Nice. We put ours in to primarily shorten the throws and cut out any slop. Still to this day works like a charm - as you need to give a very firm push or tug. Is very mechanical feeling and almost like directly connected to the gearbox.

Matches perfectly with the howl of the engine right behind your backside. Pristine mechanical sounds galore. Almost want to not crank the Bose and sub to max. Haha!

PS. Can get the V6 JL to sound somewhat alive like this - but requires you to hit the rev limiter. 392 should def provide a good blast as well. Just be super careful on the twisties. Straightline you should be good flat out.
