Open Road

After 9 997's I finally got into the 991. Always liked the design and now I need PDK due to my hips/knees.
Found a very nice 2013 Silver w/dark blue interior. Has 115K miles and very well cared for.
Exterior and interior look almost new.

PDK shifts so fast and has the Paddle Shifters on steering wheel which is fun in manual mode.

You will miss the feel of a 997 the ultimate 911.

Give us your compare/contrast between 997 and 991.

They feel very similar. 991 has some nice upgrades for TPMS and Oil Level gauge displays

...Also the 7 speed transmission gives a 2100 RPM at 80mph
28mpg at this speed

Congrats Groove! I love my 991. No plans to ever sell it.

Looks just like my Cayman!

And agree on the PDK having really low RPMs at highway speeds. When I take the 996 out for a drive I can tell the difference immediately where it's at around 3k RPM at 80 MPH.

Admittedly, they look fantastic!...but that was the last year they worked for me before becoming too big. The last iteration of 911 I would purchase, however I doubt I'll be moving from my 4.0l 997 anytime soon!

> 992 not for me, they stir no emotion. I kind of lost it for the newer gen cars with the explosion of the GT3/RS.
