No offense but who really cares about a car this heavily modded. I'm sure you could throw 30K at a honda civic and get it this fast

"Yeah this car gets really fast when you change literally every performance part on the car"
Don't hate...appreciate.

And no, you cannot do this with a civic with 30k. Most likely to blow up for sure lol.
+1. Fyi. I just traded in my 2019 991 C4S on the 2021 M5 Comp. being built for many reasons, so no, the 911 is not that bulletproof nor the car they claim it is (for me anyway). It's been gone 1 month now as pre-trade and I miss it 0%. (trade-in day)
I mean probably because you need 4 doors or something. Its obviously not because the M5 at 4,400 lbs carves curves better.

911 4s is without a doubt a better drivers car and its really not close
I can appreciate your sentiment. however, no, actually I don't need 4 doors nor track my cars often so we didn't get rid of the 911 for lifestyle reasons. We just got fed up with the reliability, recurring water pump issues and resulting future expenses associated with potential costly engine issues. This generally should not be the case with a car that was bought new at this price point.

The car did not perform badly and would probably be a better track car to throw around the turns. however the overall reliability issues I had left a bad taste in my mouth and we were reluctant to take it on even weekend trips which is absurd. I understand 992 is also having the water pump issue. I imagine this car would be better bought used as a weekend track car.

Additionally, the enjoyment and thrill factor that I had driving it was not that much better than other sports cars I had previously. I've gotten just as much enjoyment from my BMWs. (G8x M3,/M4 were too polarizing, too boy-racer so were not an option).
