Steering: generally too light, not as telepathic as 997/996 but tiny bit better than 991
Turn in: very quick and crisp unlike any 911 before it. I am not sure the camber on back, but I need a lot more, as once it’s turned in, it did not set as quickly as 997/991. I think it’s mainly alignment issue
TQ: low. I didn’t feel any torque until 6k rpm. I am ok with that. I wind it up anyway. I drove 3xx miles but never used more than 4th gear.
NVH: smoother than 996/997, but very close to 991. I don’t find it more comfy as some felt. But then again, I was mostly in 4th gear 6k+ rpm. Car sounded pretty good at that engine speed. Not too loud but definitely making good noises
Electronic interface (PCM). More intuitive than my 2020 cayenne turbo. I don’t know how to stream TV (no this is not exaggeration), but I was able to work 90% of the function on the PCM, so unless you are in a coma, you should have no issues.
Size: it LOOKS huge, but drives fine. I was recklessly threading through traffic, felt pretty nimble and small.
Clutch weight: about same as GT4 and 991, I think a bit too light too BMW or Honda
Shifter feel : 997 is notchy and 991 is smooth but rubbery. 992 is smoother than 997 in a way similar to 991 but less rubbery than 991.
Door handle: over designed, just make a handle not a gizmo
Bose: not great but my ears didn’t bleed
Heel toe: I turned auto blip off. If u can’t blip, drive PDK. Great pedal position, easy heel toe blipping at any speed.
Wing: I know many ppl find wing block rear view, that’s true for all GT3/RS with wings. I don’t really look behind me, so never bothered me. and yes, you don’t see much if you look back, but I look forward only
Bucket seat: not bad but it doesnt really hug like recaro race seat if that’s what you expected. Fairly comfy.
If u have more specific Q, ask
If I find something else, I will add
Above mostly on fwy…
Yes, I followed break in procedure. My procedure…. It’s fine. No fire no smoke make it home in one piece. It sounds great at 9k….
Out of the bright colours... we have a winner. Tangerine ?. That colour, same wheels, touring, black leather (maybe cohiba) inside and some shiny bits mixed in.. A 70s retro right there like the one below.....
