I like the new 991
I Had a 10min test drive today. I'll be short and sweet.
My Likes:
Handling
Ride comfort even w/ 20s
PDK blips throttle on down shifts
PDK gear indicator now located on tach
Sound (stock)
Seats (sport +)
Fit and finish
My Dislikes:
No engine access
Brakes look small behind 20s
Rear Deck badging
Price
Overall Im very impressed. P has indeed raised the bar.

I drove entirely on side streets w/ a lot bumps and uneven surfaces. I was taken back on how well the suspension soaked it all up. Handling was just a impressive-very little nose dive and just corners FLAT. PLANTED is the word I would use. Of course some 911 fans will not like this.
I had mixed feelings about the new electric steering hence no comment above. However, I did like the fact it had a firmer feel (less assist?) than my 997.2. On the other hand, there was less feedback during cornering. The "dancing in the hands " feel of the 997 wasnt present.
Its been reported that new 991s PDK is just as fast at the GT3. Whats interesting is that the GT3 wears cup tires.
I can see a used 991 in my future!
