Yeah, but I would have liked the ST has a little heavier clutch

I'm excited for this combo. It will feel more analog/raw/old school. I'm anxious to see how the chatter will compare to that in the R. The R can get a touch annoying after constant daily driving duties but for 99% of driving, I love it.

Yes, the manual in traffic is what makes the CGT such a terrible car.

I must be getting old and cantankerous but I even hate a RR in traffic these days. Bring on fully autonomous vehicles for any actual transportation with any actual traffic!

I hope the lwfw makes it a hair difficult

I’m almost certain no individual gears were altered (just 8% shorter ring and pinion final drive which affects all the gears equally).

BS, it won't feel anything of the sort.

Horrible cars, nobody wants them. And they look funny.

EV life for the daily. My stress level in traffic even w/o fully auto driving is near zero. Just glide along... in near silence.

No need for wheels, they just add unnecessary unsprung weight to the car. That is the perfect collector spec right there, great garage art.

I had a few people at a stop light tell me that it sounded like something was wrong with my 997RS because of the noises it was making.

I just get kids asking me to 'throw some revs' and taking pictures. It's fukin' annoying.

Too bad wing is small, no room for donuts or bbq table. 914/6, top down, 100 degrees out, 2000 miles hardcore road trip, 1/2 of it spent sideways. That is raw.

Have you ever driven a 356, 914, 964, or a 993? Now those cars are analog, raw, and old school. I would never own any of those cars because they are too old for me but there's HUGE difference between driving a 992 Touring and a 997RS. Porsche putting a lwfw and taking away the RAS doesn't make the ST remotely close to being analog, raw, or old school, it's just a different iteration of a 911 for the 992 series.

That is too hardcore for me, I'm a softy compared to you and Mooty.
