Steering: generally too light, not as telepathic as 997/996 but tiny bit better than 991
Turn in: very quick and crisp unlike any 911 before it. I am not sure the camber on back, but I need a lot more, as once it’s turned in, it did not set as quickly as 997/991. I think it’s mainly alignment issue
TQ: low. I didn’t feel any torque until 6k rpm. I am ok with that. I wind it up anyway. I drove 3xx miles but never used more than 4th gear.
NVH: smoother than 996/997, but very close to 991. I don’t find it more comfy as some felt. But then again, I was mostly in 4th gear 6k+ rpm. Car sounded pretty good at that engine speed. Not too loud but definitely making good noises
Electronic interface (PCM). More intuitive than my 2020 cayenne turbo. I don’t know how to stream TV (no this is not exaggeration), but I was able to work 90% of the function on the PCM, so unless you are in a coma, you should have no issues.
Size: it LOOKS huge, but drives fine. I was recklessly threading through traffic, felt pretty nimble and small.
Clutch weight: about same as GT4 and 991, I think a bit too light too BMW or Honda
Shifter feel : 997 is notchy and 991 is smooth but rubbery. 992 is smoother than 997 in a way similar to 991 but less rubbery than 991.
Door handle: over designed, just make a handle not a gizmo
Bose: not great but my ears didn’t bleed
Heel toe: I turned auto blip off. If u can’t blip, drive PDK. Great pedal position, easy heel toe blipping at any speed.
Wing: I know many ppl find wing block rear view, that’s true for all GT3/RS with wings. I don’t really look behind me, so never bothered me. and yes, you don’t see much if you look back, but I look forward only
Bucket seat: not bad but it doesnt really hug like recaro race seat if that’s what you expected. Fairly comfy.
If u have more specific Q, ask
If I find something else, I will add
Above mostly on fwy…
Yes, I followed break in procedure. My procedure…. It’s fine. No fire no smoke make it home in one piece. It sounds great at 9k….
Heard a 992 GT3 manual pull away from dealer today at new car pickup and was surprised how different it sounded from a 991. Can't describe it, but was definitely different.
After seeing the 992 parked next to my 991, I much prefer looks of 991. I only envy the front suspension...but what do I know, I have a Touring...
991.1 GT3, 991.2 GT3, 991.1 GT3 RS or 992 GT3? Those are the rides I’m considering.
don't like any 991.1 variant
991.2 GT3 RS is pdk, if that's ok, then take that over 991.2GT3
but 992 is way better than any 991, in technical terms
in visual acuity, all 911's ugly, so take ur pick
if you want fee, 997RS3.8 RS4.0
