Is Cobb OBDII yet or still a DME unlock and then OBDII?
OBD2. Flash and roll !

720S is far too expensive in Brazil. It is in the US$700k price range.

I concur. My fear is that after spending US$ 300k in a 911 TTS, I will be left "disappointed" wanting something more exciting.

The M5 is awesome but it needs a better exhaust, and more feel.

A few weekends ago I got a 720 S spider for a week to try out. It's crazy fast but that's about it. The interior feels cheap to me, couldn't see well out of it and it kept giving me a check engine light every other time it started. I will say the ride is very very good for such a one dimensional sports car. Not a big fan.

The 992 TTs will be my first turbo Porsche I will daily and will replace the M5 and I'm hearing some insane performance numbers from my contact!

From what I saw, and the feedback from the dealer here, the 720S is pretty bulletproof. Only a few issues associated with suspension control and coolant leaks.

I haven't driven the 720S, but I have seen it perform in a track event, and holy jesus, this thing is ludicrously fast. It gave a 918 a run for its money. But it is far too expensive here to justify, and a Porsche does 90% of the performance, with 0% of the drawbacks

Irony, we can get used Macca 720S's for low 200k's (wholesale 2018's) but Im scared shitless of that car without a warranty as they only come with 3 year coverage.

Yes they drop like rocks. I’ve heard of several owners I know here in the Greenwich, CT area who have had engine replacements and were begged by Mclaren not to divulge.

Wow, that is messed up. In the Internet it is hard to find anything of the sort.

Here in Brazil, no cases yet of engine replacement.
