It is quite amusing looking at the views and, as you would expect, everyone has there own views and choices. I have looked at a fair view video reviews and the NIG looks like a good option, even though it is rarely chosen. Some think air is the thing to get others believe it makes little difference. As for the exhaust system, you can switch it off if you want. It is audio noise so you can either choose to have it or cruise quietly.

The salesman was very helpful.

The beauty of the Porsche buying is that you can change spec all the way up to the Silverstone drive where you lock it in. By this time i’ll have driven it and work out if I can handle the lack of power from my S6 .

If you fancy one have a word with your local dealer and get on the list

Thanks, Tony.

Am happy with my Carrera T for now and am in fact getting some modifications for it, so it will therefore be a keeper.

Were I in the market for a Macan again in the future, I think the GTS would be the one to go for, the sweet spot of the range, as is often said.

I’m confident that you’ll love the GTS.

I hope so wing commander. I would never get in a Carrera due to my size but it is a stunning car. My boss has the Carrera S and loves it.

That is not the case wth Lockdown.

Attendance at Silverstone is not mandatory nor is any date related to it.

Lockdown of spec is 6 weeks prior to the actual start of the build.

OPCs like Lockdown asap as once you Lockdown you are committed to buy.

Locking down early may also give you priority or it can open up a free or cancelled order build slot for you.

Great info, thanks Col. they said my Silverstone day would be around December but clearly this could change. I have noted that some days have been after delivery of the car so clearly I would need to lockdown beforehand.

Thanks for heads up

Tony, don’t rule out a 911 due to your size. If I recall correctly from an earlier post, you’re 6’2” and about 16 stone? If so, I’m positive that others of your size are 911 owners who fit just fine.

Maybe just don’t opt for the bucket seats

P.S. If you ask nicely, I’m sure they’d let you try a 911 at Silverstone PEC.

I’m a similar build Tony and sat in a couple of the 911’s at the dealership and doesn’t feel cramped

In fact I’ve got my eye on ordering a 992 I’ve got to weight up the fact the wife will probably kill me even if I do Bribe her with a horse!

I’m a big unit - not as tall but very broad (ex rugby prop) and I have no problem at all with 911 sports seats and there is plenty of room for someone a couple of inches taller. One of my mates who is 6’10” can get in but is not so comfortable but 6’2” and 16 stone isn’t that big.

The Volcano Grey I picked up Yesterday has a 2 Tone Pebble Grey / Agate Grey Dash, using it all day to day in the sun had no issues with reflections / Glare.
Love the light interior as so many are dark, Just got to keep it Clean ,,
