Agree. That amount of torque is an entirely new ballgame compared to most cars, including the 991.1 GTS. Very different experience, positive and negative.

I had the exact opposite of your experience .
I owned a F430 Scud and had high expectations of the GT3.

So why don't they make a standard sedan? Something like an S6 size... I have an RS3 on order from Audi and would love to have a similar, compact, sporty / sleeper sedan from Porsche instead. I had an RS7 and that was too big, didn't like the profile look and the Panamera is even worse IMO from an aesthetics standpoint.

Mission-E will fit in this size. Going to get a new panamera wagon hybrid with RWS - it should drive like a smaller car at least while waiting for the Mission-E.

I'm sure Porsche has figured out how to get the big car to drive and feel smaller, but I'm mainly talking about the look. I want a compact sedan to DD and take my kids to baseball without being a PITA to park in tight spots. Want it to look sharp and aggressive.
