One of my early cars was a Saab Turbo, and subsequently had other turbo charged cars. I always like to hear the turbo whirl and now enjoying it in my dot two... combined with the nice exhaust note.

Yout tailpipes look dumb compared to mine. Also, my wife has nice teeth.

Yes, I agree the NA 3.8L sounds better, but as for steering feedback, I prefer my .2 over the .1S I test drove before making my .2 purchase. I have to say all the 911(s) I had driven are special in their own way. I have not had a chance to drive the air-cooled models, but from 996.1/2, 997.1/2, 991.1/2, they are all great sports cars and NONE of them is/are BORING to drive.

991.2 owners have tiny hands.


As evidenced by the smaller steering wheel.

991's suck. They are huge and have Panamera interiors. All owners care about is washing, waxing, paint chips, and taking pictures with their watches and houses. Crying about brake dust too. Boo hoo

The 997.2's are much better. Real drivers cars. 6 speed manuals too. No sissy 7 speeds.

Real coffee drinker and cigar smoker here so I like my lame PDK. Besides - the argument here is about magazine rated performance so PDK is faster.

(wish I could have found a manual when I was looking)

Pot smoker and heroin addict. Manual doesn't work.

it's been years since I had a NASA license so I don't know anything about driving anyway. Even though I'm likely in the bottom 25% of ages represented here.... I feel old.

The 991.2 certainly is spectacular. I think my future toy cars though will be older and not newer. I'm planning a restomod MG currently. The new cars in general just don't seem as fun.

Very true, and don't forget about miles... we cannot for the love of god put any miles on the car. It must sit in the garage to keep the mileage low for the next buyer, fully wrapped in Expel to protect from harmful air and overhead lighting exposure.

It's just funny to laugh at some of these things sometimes. I'm even guilty of some of them.

Is long as you have fun and enjoy your car, that's all that matters.
