  1. Back in a Type R!

    Another update. Just did a 700 mile roadtrip with the car. Drove to the Driftless region in Wisconsin. Good balance of comfort and sport. Adaptive cruise was a life saver on highway, especially when I was tired. It’s not exactly an S class in terms of noise isolation. A lot of wind and tire...
  2. Do you finance, lease or own your Type R?

    Paid cash. Rates were stupid high. And if things go horribly wrong for me financially, this is the last car out of my collection I’d sell. lol
  3. Back in a Type R!

    I had an Evo X back in 2008! It just became my online identity across forums I suppose.
  4. Back in a Type R!

    450 mile update. I love this car. I subconsciously grab the Type R keys pretty much whenever I’m about to head out. It’s just a joy to drive at any speed. I can’t think of one car that does so much so well, especially at this price point. Gonna do my first track day with it soon. Anything I need...
  5. Back in a Type R!

    Hmm… I haven’t noticed much play in my shifter. Maybe they fixed it for 2024? Exactly. I’d rather pay the markup and just get what I want instead of being forced to buy a Taycan.
  6. Back in a Type R!

    I couldn’t believe the Type R had adaptive cruise control! What I’ve learned is the more expensive the car, the more you pay for standard features. Wired Apple CarPlay was a $5k option on my 812 GTS and it’s on a tiny low res screen. Cupholders are an option on Huracan and they suck! I had to...
  7. Back in a Type R!

    I daily drove both a 981 and 718 GT4 for a combined 4 years and 30k miles along with a brief stint in 991.2 GT3 6 speed. I’ll say that Porsche GT shifters are probably the closest you can get to Type R but I’ll still give slight edge to Honda. It’s smooth and slick. However I prefer the clutch...
  8. Back in a Type R!

    I work for Porsche. Will be happy to get you into a 911 when you’re ready! I almost ordered a G80 multiple times and even placed a deposit on M3CS but just couldn’t pull the trigger. Too big and heavy with little feel. Fast af tho.
  9. Back in a Type R!

    Thanks! Big time car enthusiast. I appreciate excellent cars at all levels and across multiple brands. My first car was an Acura TL Type S and I had an Evo 9 and 10 before moving onto fancier things like M cars, GT Porsche, and eventually exotics. My heart always pines for JDM stuff as...
  10. Back in a Type R!

    Good afternoon, it’s my first post here. Wanted to introduce myself. Picked up a 24 Sonic Gray Pearl FL5 on Saturday. Had a CW FK8 before. Drove it for 2 years before it was traded in for a 718 Cayman GT4. Only done about 40 miles in the FL5 but I’m so glad to have it in the lineup. The seats...
