Got it!
Well, finally got my 981. Picked it up on Friday with 40 miles on the clock and drove it 500 miles yesterday
I'll post more pics later (sorry for the poor quality), but, for now...

Beautiful! I was at Hennessy Alpharetta Thursday and they had a white/red 981S that was drool-worthy. Amazingly, they also had a 981 for $51,000! First 6-speed I've ever seen. Somebody probably got fired for forgetting to check the PDK box.

Actually, the 981 at Hennessy was the one that turned me on the red interior. Wanted the GT Silver, but, settled for the "cheaper" Platinum Silver.

Congrats! Personally, I think platinum silver (slightly more earthy tone) looks better than GT silver. I did a side by side comparo with my buddy's 981 and came to that conclusion.

On a separate note, has anyone found a R-compound tire that fits these cars? I can't seem to find one in either 19 or 20...

The steering system in the 981 and 987 are identical with the exception of how power steering is supplied. In the 981 the hydraulic pump is replaced by an electric motor. So there is no longer a power steering pump connected to the crankshaft in a 981. Other than that the steering shaft is connected into a steering rack that goes out to ball joints and knuckles in both the 987 and 981.
