But, 991.2s sound like vacuum cleaners, yes?

🤣

thank you. I’m very excited she is well and looking forward to doing some performance upgrades soon.

I couldn’t find a red or Miami blue 991.2 T or S in manual that’s why I got the red .1 and I love it. I know everyone wants the PDK for speed but I believe they are missing the point of a sports car. Especially, one with such a good manual transmission as a Porsche. As for me if the car doesn’t have an LSD and three pedals I’m not buying as a top 2 car. Maybe it would be my 3rd sport car kind of thing. Plus after I do the 4.5L upgrade it will have plenty of power for the street. I’m not making money racing this car. I purely drive and track it for love of the drive.

I agree manual is the only way to go, if you're concerned about speed, buy a Tesla S, zero to 60 in 1.9 seconds. Same cost as my used 911....

I never disliked the way it sounds. Definitely not a vacuum cleaner.
IMO, nothing like big torque at 3500.
