Link to a new episode of MotorTrend Ignition (991.2 C2)

Better with boost? 2017 PORSCHE 911 C2 tested on Ignition.

psst

I'm a little confused... Jason Udy the reviewer mentions throttle blip at around 3:15 in the video.
The car he's driving doesn't have the Sports Chrono option.
Isn't throttle blip when downshifting only available with SC?
TIA

Good review.

No. Not in the new 991.2. It's available when sport mode is selected also.

Note they recorded 0-60 of 3.9s with a manual and no sport chrono...

Highyo

on the BASE?

tango131

yes. and a 12.4 1/4 mile at about 114.4 mph trap. A PDK will probably make it a sub 4 second 0-60 car and it could be touching the 11's or at least a 12 second flat 1/4 mi.

Highyo

wow what is the S putting down? and what will the GTS?

i know i know, it's not all about this. but... its not NOT all about this

tango131

sorry, correction, 12.3 sec 1/4 mile at 114.7 mph trap. monster engine. can't wait to see what the COBB guys do with this base motor.

Great car, great review, but just watching from 5:15 to around 8:30 in that video proves what I said since my test drive. Anyone who doesn't think there's some turbo lag in this car either doesn't have enough feel for the car or is just purposely ignoring it.

Best review I have seen so far.

Kind of makes me want to lease/buy another base stripper when my current lease is up next year.

Sure would like to see a side by side test of base vs S.

At the end of the day you're getting a bespoke experience and have incredible choice.
