I also want to know what you wonder. This is a dream car to a lot of folks. Some of these people also don't want a lot of attention. I have seen some of the members on here say they don't want a bunch of attention. So the non attention seeking person may want to make sure this car does not give them too much unwanted attention.

I live on Long Island. Most people will be very positive when they see your car. What bothers me most are Dodge Ram truck drivers and believe it or not Prius owners! They like to tail gate and overall try to annoy me. I just look at them and say WTF. Just smile when you see them in your rearview mirror.
Sorry I did not see the previous post.

I live in NJ and get zero attention in my agate grey 992. The 2015 vette vert I traded in had gotten occasional thumbs up-so far nada with my 911, and that is perfectly fine with me.

I've been driving Jeep wranglers basically for the past 10 years, lol, so obviously I'm not used to anyone stopping and making comments on my car, as they're literally a dime a dozen.
I have my 2022 chalk GTS arriving in a week or so.. I'm obviously very excited but part of me is also not sure of what to expect from other people on the road.
I live on long island NY, 911's aren't exactly common here like they are in LA or other major cities, so it will definitely stand out.
Are reactions from people on the road typically good? Do you guys ever get negative reactions on the road, or people driving more aggressively around you, etc.?

Either way, enjoy the heck out of the new car!!

A few things I have noticed as a new Porsche 911 owner.
1. Most people don’t look twice. Those who do are usually enthusiastic and give you a thumbs up.
2. People will look at you funny when you open your frunk and put stuff in it.
3. Most are shocked when I take my daughter out of the back seat because they think 911’s don’t have room in the back.
In general people are cool and appreciate seeing a Porsche.

Reactions on the road? Jacked up trucks constantly tailgate and drive recklessly around you. The driver is typically on the phone.

Why???
The only way they will beat you is if they have a higher spec 911 (TT vs S for example). And if they do, what does it prove, the TT is faster than an S?
If it’s the same spec as yours (TT vs TT for example), they won’t beat you, unless the driver weighs less than you do.
I really don’t get the point of this behavior????
Why do you think they do this? How old are these people?
