members and their systems

@sokogear

I would think that most $100K systems are bought by multimillionaires/billionaires who don’t spend a lot of time evaluating, thinking about or listening to their systems as they may be in a 2nd or 3rd house. They probably have a designer type making the decisions for them, and I would be shocked to see them posting on this site.

Please prove me wrong so I know that the equipment is being enjoyed.

not to be argumentative, but you are wrong - i am proof of that, i am not a billionaire (not even close) but i have done quite well in life moneywise

not all folks who have wealth were born rich or hit the lottery, and then outsource purchase decisions to hired hands (not even most)

in fact most of the wealthy people i know are that way because they are normal people, sensible, value conscious, care about what they buy, thoughtful throughout their lives about managing finances and assets (not to mention other life decisions) - when you have spent a major chunk of time and energy in your life earning/accumulating the wealth you have, you usually don’t stop caring about how it is used

one of my good pals, fellow track buddy is 6-4 and fits comfortably in a 991.1 and 991.2 GT3 RS with helmet... does some 15-20 track days per year on average -- both cars had standard factory cf lwb’s, stock installation (without aftermarket recliner brackets)...

6-3 or 6-4 drivers may need to recline the stock sofa sets (4 way or 18 way) in a 991 car with sunroof... but just a touch, depends on torso vs leg length...

@sokogear

got it... i actually forgot that caymans since the original 987 never had sunroofs... guess they figure you want a mid engine car driven in open air the boxsters are right there

that little section of roof panel is too short to build in a sunroof cassette anyways... they of course want to keep the cg low and want to maximize the already limited headroom

thank goodness the germans don’t do what the japanese did with their sports cars, which is build it around an average size 5-9 height driver!

You should try a Cayman GT4 - I’d get one if it only had a sunroof (maybe GTS - the 4’s are kinda pricey with the markups) ....Caymans are more fun than 911s. I’m not a cab guy.

pag gt cars do not have sunroofs as they are meant to be track tools

the only, and notable, exception is the 997.1 gt3 which came to the usa with sunroof only, as in 2006-7, pag had not yet certified non sunroof 911’s with the usa dept of transportation, since the 997 chassis/body was only introduced in 2005 - by 2008-09 the certification of the slicktop 997 was done, thus the 997.2 gt3 was sold in the usa only without sunroof

that been said, the new 718 cayman gts has the new 4.0 liter mill... and softer suspension tuning than gt4 or boxspy... would be a very nice dual purpose car

here we go...

i drive around my neighborhood late at night 5 nights a week. steal catalytic converters off of parked cars - every month i can buy a new set of audio note silver interconnects

hard work pays dividends
