Yes, I was feeling bad for you. Signal to noise was abysmal in that thread and then…
Your question was a really good one.
Superb. Well played...
I commented in that thread as I've made the switch. Basically suspension better on .2 while .1 makes more noise. Both great cars. I seemed to be one of the few that has had both and had good things to say on both sides. I think negativity brewing is from folks that haven't experienced the thrill each provides.

Example: 991.2 sounds like a vacuum = 991.1 Underpowered.
Both comments are just absurd. I say it over and over that if I was looking for a daily driver and didn't need a people hauler, a 991.2 (even base) would be hard to pass up. For a fun toy - I love having t work for the performance of the 991.1 plus although the sound of the 991.1 is preferable, the 991.2 doesn't sound bad - just not the screamer of the .1....
One thing is for sure - I wouldn't complain about owning any iteration of 911

Without trying to risk a parallel discussion... I made the silly heckling video.... and only post it once the discussion has gotten to the point of ridiculousness. I don't truly believe that. I do have perhaps the loudest exhaust on the market (valves open) also so that shapes my perception.

As a .2 owner I think the vacuum cleaner video is hilarious and awesome.
By the way-
to the .2 haters: I love my .2
to the .1 haters: I dearly miss (even more than I will admit) my .1
With that I would like to make a motion to close this thread (exception for dog pics!)

I didn't know which thread you meant, then I remember it's almost all of them. So here are puppy shots to make us all feel better.
