agree the Touring is a joke compared to R, before u even turn the key it is understood it offers minimum $200K better driving experience. Touring is like a Mac truck in comparison … 50 lbs difference can be felt as soon as you pull away … door pulls alone are over the top special … many have posted Carrera T is considerably better than Touring as well because it has light weight rear and side windows and fabled past of the T … Unotaz has a great post about how quickly he dismissed the Touring and GT3’s and the magic of the R … just my opinion but I think the R’s will hit $1M US before year end

Not really but nice try, Kia to Porsche is apples to oranges ... Porsche and especially 911’s are apples to apples ... R might be 2-3% lighter, not noticeable but makes for great marketing (door pulls and light glass etc) ... fact ... new Turbo engine is superior pulling out of turns at road speeds and quicker to the speed limits ... both cars appearance are snoozers for non Porsche people ... Tag Heuer market watches to $1500 customers and $15,000 customers ... both watches are Tag’s same quality build and performance, just a few design features and more “special” as higher prices make less affordable to the masses ... better argument is the 918 is a far, FAR superior car ; ) lol

Yes, he definitely owns a Touring. HAHA
The jealousy [cough, cough], um..., I mean the sarcasm, just comes across as sour grapes.

Agreed, they are all great cars...what is most great is up to the *** in the seat...we all have different ideas as to the perfect 911 hence 4 bazillion variations available.
That said the R is the best lol

The R will always be a 991.1 ...
When Porsche magically releases the 991.2 R it will be better than the Touring. Until then, the inferior motor of the R will always make it a miss.
Chris Harris and Bovingdon's opinion > a bunch of guys comparing these cars to watches.

I value and enjoy input from Chris Harris and others. I am also okay with having different opinions and preferences than they do.

HAHA...Porsche would truly need to use some "magic" to release a 991.2 R in the future considering it has already moved on to the 992. Also, the R's motor is not inferior to any NA 991 motor.
