It will cause you to constantly drive conservatively and only push it in spots where you don't have to deal with that. That means most of the time you will be driving normally so you can enjoy life without dealing with the riffraff.

This is why you buy a Tesla Model X for your SUV. It destroys the Mustang or Japanese tuner car at every stoplight - all without making a sound. When you want to hoon it - no better vehicle out there because it doesn't even look fast....lol. It's really big fun to do that, I have to admit.

LOL that's great. I have a BMW X5 50i (twin turbo v8), which, while not as great as the Tesla for sure, enables me to be a wolf in sheep's clothing and impose my will in an unexpected manner. If I'm coming up in the 911, their pulse rate goes to a gazillion and they tell their texting buddy to stand by, but in the 50i, I just see them finishing their texts and flipping me off 3/4 miles behind me.

Another 991.1S 7MT owner here, and yes the .2 may have more low end grunt and be faster, it is tough to beat that NA sound with the PSE open(or your aftermarket exhaust of choice) and the car is still plenty quick. Its no GT car, TTS, but it still makes you want to put the windows down, open the sunroof and take the long way home, if not just going out to the garage, getting in, and taking a drive for no particular reason. Once you get up in the rev's and it starts pulling, it just feels right! Anyway nothing in this post we all don't really know, but just showing some love for the .1, as everyone seems to go on and on about the low end torque in the .2, which I am not denying BTW! Carry on!

for the seats. if they are manual fore and aft and don't have shoulder wings, they are base seats.
If the same and they have shoulder wings, they are sport + seats
if they are power without wings, they are 14 way and
if they are power with wings, they are 18 way.
