Default My first really fast Porsche….

Just Bought a 2018 C2S. Also owned a C2 Base in 2007. This car is really really fast!!! Never owned an “S” car either because I always told myself I didn’t more power. I guess I bought Into the hype that less power was good because you could drive the car harder on the street and not exceed the speed limits. I have been wrong all these years, the power from those twin turbos is intoxicating! I better start putting money aside for speeding tickets H

Congrats on the car! Completely agree. Life is to short to not have some excitement every time you get behind the wheel.

Enjoy it. I felt the same way. Hard not to drive it everywhere!
I came from a 996. 991.2 is another level in so many ways.

Uh, these are baby turbos to increase mileage, maintain power, while decreasing pollution ... if ya wanna go fast, why not big boy turbos ... now, that is truly gushable!

Just pointing out the “why” and why that sort of gushing seems more appropriate for the big boy turbo.
