Your Age vs .1 or .2 Preference
Curious if there is an obvious age bias between the .1 NA engines and the .2 turbo engines in our Rennlist community.

Funny I was thinking the same thing.
I would bet .2 are slightly younger and .1 are slightly older. I would give reasons, but it would start another NA vs turbo war. Nooooooo!

Under 35 here and I love NA engines. They're a dying breed and I want to enjoy the wailing of a wound out engine before they get phased out. Turbos are great but I don't like too much low end torque and prefer linearity.

We just replaced our Boxster GTS with a 991.2 GTS for a couple of reasons:
1. Two seater became impractical for our needs.
2. No low-end torque. You've got stomp on that thing to get any power & for our commuting needs, that wasn't really working. In auto, the PDK upshifted too quickly, so you had to either drive in manual mode or downshift to accelerate. That's great for fun drives, but it got a bit annoying for daily driving.
The GTS has plenty of power across the whole band & it's amazing as a daily driver.
Moi - late 40s. Hubster - early 60s.

They should rename Rennlist, TrollList or ****DisturberList.

Ever since I was breathing I wanted a Porsche of some kind.
The CPO'ed 911.1 C4S was the right car at the right time.
Not a purest so any engine will do..... even hybrid if they ever do that and maintain current performance numbers.

Now the next question I would be interested in is for the people that went with a 991.2,....what was their last 911 if indeed they actually owned one, or was their 991.2 actually their first 911.
