u had me at sexual skills and super models. link pls

 

Claimed…

I don’t have any hard evidence. But AP and others have said it contributed to significantly faster laps. I’ve never compared the same model with and without rear steer, so I don’t even have a subjective impression (not to mention objective evidence)

 

I scared spyerx

hell I scared myself too

 

Now that configurator is up, the Mag wheels look to be identical size specs as GT3, despite Auto Build video where they claimed custom widths and offsets.

I guess these will be available for GT3 at some price north of $20k.

 

u me and stephen lol

no one sells me ST. else i’ll get one just to see how much grocery it can hold. gt3 took $900 of food from costco

 

See this is where you’re mistaken. Porsche, if anything, is remarkably consistent and iterative. They literally (well ok I’ll give the super cars a pass) never release a generation or a model that is a massive WOW over the previous, its iterative. It’s 60 years of progress. Jump a generation or 2, ok, you get some substantial moves, but, it’s iterative. That is their plan,that is their approach. It is what makes the 911 the 911.

So you and we all know EXACTLY how this will drive and feel. It will drive and feel exactly like a 992 touring, with maybe a little more chassis stiffness (suspension calibration), maybe it’ll have a little different tuning on the exhaust note, oh and maybe a few other things like some calibration on the steering feel. Maybe you’ll think the lack or rws is good, or bad. Maybe you’ll think it ‘pulls harder and more agressive because of the gearing or the 15hp difference’ But those will likely be perceptions vs. reality.

But I will guarantee, you will know it’s a 911, it will feel like a 911, and it will feel like every other 992gt they have made.

Since I seriously doubt you’re ****ing super models, you probably dont know what that feels like. But, you do know what a 911 feels like. There’s your 911 ST

But it will have an ST label!


Bull****. There is nothing special about a lwfw other than free-er revving and the noise that comes with it. I have 3 cars with LWFW in them, they are good, but they don’t “make the car”

They have to keep gearing them shorter, the power is all up high in the revs and to get any acceleration you need shorter stack. Plus, more shifting is ‘enthusiast’ right? I guess i should know, have a short stack in my 71, it revs to 8500+ like a gt3… most power up around 7k. Has gt3 rods in it!

Oh, and to try and keep up with the soccer mom EVs that out accelerate all these sports cars in stop light races.

I think you only scared me a little in the grey 911. Ok, maybe in the CGT when it jumps 1/2 a lane over that rut. IS that still there?

 

everyone wants short gears. just step on ur. not many use 9000 rpm. I donr wanr shirt gears. I hit reflow too fast.

 

Yes, for acceleration. But it makes it more difficult to meet fuel consumption and emissions standards, so I'm a little (happily) surprised to see it.

 

May be too much to ask- but bring back the regular door handles on all 911 going forward. Lets not reinvent something that is not broken.

 

 

And if anyone didn’t know how it would drive, why would people be lining up to over pay for this car??

 

I’m surprised 8% shorter gearing takes off 13 mph from the top speed compared to a normal GT3 Touring. Back when the 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8 came out it had 13% shorter gearing compared to the standard GT3, but the top speed was only claimed to be 1 mph less. Same 15 horsepower difference and the weight difference between the ST and GT3 Touring is even greater.

 

Substantially less car than 3RS for more money. The car makes sense at $200k. At $300k, it’s a pure money grab, easy extra $200 million profit for Porsche. I wonder if AP gets a commission.

I would only buy it at MSRP in order to flip it in 1-2 years.

And just like that the GT3 “Touring” trim became obsolete…
