will there be an option for a "Honda vac" to suck up all those goldfish and cheerios back there?

You know, my wife's 18 Pacifica has that......we never use it....so I wouldn't tick that box.

Cheerios and goldfish are harmless, in fact quite welcome to a hangry dad or mom (and hopefully of the 'flavor blasted' variety, yum). Hit the brakes for a turn and *BAM* instant snack at your feet. They keep very well on the floor for years....Its the damn fruit rollups and fruity filled granola bars that are evil. They plaster down and become part of the carpet. No included vacuum can help you. Milk spills gawd....hopefully they have a scotch guard option for the carpet...

Until you get to the track, there simply isn't enough compression to even start working the suspension... you're just feeling the top 10-20% of travel which is where a base 911 would do just as well, maybe better actually.
Which brings me back to how pointless these gt cars are on road but sigh.. round and round we go.

Agree, I don't get the joy people speak of with a PDK GT3, 3RS on the street. Must have amazing roads, and even then. But I digress.

I'm trying to think of what I feel when I drive on the road. But hard to do because I hardly drive the GT3 on the street and it's been 3 months. I don't ever recall thinking it's harsh for whatever small amount of travel is used.

If a softer suspension comes for the Touring, must be catering to an older fussier crowd.

I’m easily amused. The engine sounds when manually shifting PDK around town are consistently entertaining to me. So the suspension goes uncompressed but my mind gets decompressed.

Let's see if that's true.
I'm interested

More and more they seem pointless on the road unless I'm going jail speed.

This may have been posted in other threads but I found it pretty interesting. A bit of an odd comparison at the start but otherwise shows the kind of tech in these engines.

Do you have any explanation on the sound of the 992 GT3 CUP?
It's a naturally aspirated engine that sounds like a Turbo !!!
