Lol.... Just saying, farah did not have one bad thing to say about it.... Not one... I mean really!

And sorry but I know 0 to 100kph in 4.3sec is by no means slow, but with the numbers that so many cars are putting up now Nowadays it's not really that fast.

He said 7 gears were too many, but everything else was great.

One thing he didnt mention which was obvious was how tight he was sandwiched in the interior.

It's definitely a well performing car, sounds like the interior is much better than it was, but...

The styling has too much Transformers going on, the side profile and rear are just miles away from the 991, the engine sound is more muscle than music to my ear, and I prefer real dials to a computer screen for the dash. All personal/subjective items - in no way diminishes the numbers this new model is putting down.

The fact that the review is almost immediately about burnouts and is given by a bald guy with a tattoo who ends the review with a bunch of swearing (well, and the short that was released earlier was just smoking tires - huh???) - OK, honestly, that just reinforces the current Corvette owner stereotype. It doesn't mean the review isn't honest or that the car isn't good, but it doesn't make me think Porsche / etc. competitor in terms of market segment. Well, that plus the cars styling and engine sound. YMMV, of course.

True, but the stereotype for 991 owners isn't Elton John. Uh... I hope!

That's funny. Amazing how many Porsche owners forget that there are negative stereotypes associated with Porsche also.

Probably a lot of stuff that we wouldn't want to claim.
