Where are the Base 991 manual shift reviews??
#16
Chris Harris armed with the same speculation and questions of the OP, wrung out a very sparsely equipped 991 7 speed about 6 months ago in Excellence. He had sold his 997 S to get a non-S, which he found to be more his idea of a 911 sweet spot- so wanted to see if it still would hit him that way. He did not find the same with the 991, due to the performance distance from the 991S- due to a mix of things, torque and tires being the obvious ones.
To me the 991 platform is so good the differences are all marginal. I like the options route to matching marginal cost to personal value.

last sentence was very well put. Do agree that you need the X51 package to make the "S" a material better performer versus base. Both are sweet cars and it all does depend on value creation. I saw the CH cliping you are talking about. He said he would like to see the base in different tires to make a real assessment.
