OP: Each car has a different feel and purpose. all three are pure pleasure to drive, Does the Spyder have the sweet sounding sports exhaust?

Indeed they are. Absolute pleasure to drive, and yes the Spyder has the glorious sport exhaust. So far it sounds to me much better & richer than the GT3 or GT4 exhaust note. Mark

As a fellow Spyder owner I'm always anxious to hear comparisons to the GT4 so will be looking forward to your thoughts once you have had more time behind the wheel.

Enjoy and congrats!
Thank you. Looking forward to explore the new toy. I am also planning to swap the tire/wheels between the GT4 and Spyder to isolate the effects of the larger, stickier tires on handling, steering feel and possibly ride. Stay tuned. Mark

Very nice! I was looking at that car before the 991.2 event a few weeks ago, and it sure looks nice. Can't wait to hear more about it.

Mark, great buy! I did the same - similar build. Any interior pics? I have to say that it is one of my favorite cars and am so happy that I dove in - mine was also an impulse buy and am so thrilled that I did. Enjoy!

I thought this was a new car. Sounds like it was used. Must have been Mr. Stevens car. I wanted to buy it when he was on the fence on picking it up or not.

Great looking car, Mark! I am sure I will see it soon ... Dave seems to be wrapping all of the Spyders and just finished the PTS Voodod Blue.

Excellent impulse buy!

Your black Spyder looks even better in person...great to meet you today Mark. Enjoy the new toy.
