In 20 years when the 911 is hybrid or all electric, people will be complaining because they miss that turbo whine from the good old days

Sorry, but that is very disappointing. After market exhaust companies must be smiling ear to ear!

They haven't even been able to help the 991.1 "Real Turbo"

It's the engine.. It's expected, isn't it? No surprise here. Just not for me. Obviously buyers of the .2 will weigh the other +/-'s when buying. I can respect their choice if that's what they like.

Sounds like a washing machine full of loose bolts.

With those four point rear brake lights, they really don't scream brake light when on do they?

Or is it just me? I'm just thinking from a safety perspective when someone is on your a s s ..

Even the rear bar light being so high on the grill.

Obviously my first check off will be performance which so far this car seems to have so a test drive is in order. Then sound will be important. But I had 4 Porsche TT's 3 of which had Europipe exhausts. The sound was amazing. I never thought it fell short in the sound department. It will definitely be a different car but it seems it will be a great car none the less.
