This says it all:
"... The vast majority of drivers of 911s have not been the types of people to really get the most out of their car when confronted with a twisty, sunny, country two-lane. Rarely do they ever really take the engine up to the 7000-plus rpm zone. The majority love the 911 in little moments of gusto between traffic lights, and love the storied image a 911 brings to the minds of all of us. ..."
... and that's why the 991 is what it is.

"In the driving of it, by the end, we realized that any fears of fat and lazy GT cars were unfounded; the 991, when driven as we like it driven, is all 911 all the time. It’s just the new upgraded interior, mention of electro- anything in the steering, and visibly longer wheelbase that can create fear in us or in you prior to doing the drive. With such a great start on the “normal” Carrera S, we are waiting with hot breath the arrival of all Turbo, GT3, RS, etc. trims to see how they up the ante. The 991 911 Carrera and Carrera S arrive together at dealers on February 4. So, do the drive."
