The 992 is the sportscar equivalent of the "dad bod": you just have to pretend that the results of giving up are what you wanted all along and you're happy to be overweight and ugly with a little nubbin.
Obviously off topic, but that truck packs 790hp of electric motors! It ain't pretty in the front or back, and it's gonna fail at $70,000 and up, but it will do 0-60mph in 3.0 seconds and up to 400 miles of range, so that's something to applaud.

everyone freaking out over 992 but its really a 991.3. bumpers, front fender flair, weird shift ****. bfd, its a nice car like all 911s are!!
Yes, it's just a 991. Except for an entirely different rear end, different wheel track, entirely different front end, different wheels and sizes, and an entirely different interior. Other than that, they're exactly the same.

Much of the performance neutering has to do with the rear suspension technology and not just the weight. People cried for a long time the the cayman just needed the 911 engine... because most people simply look at a spec sheet and some 0-60 times in a magazine to determine how "fast" a car is. Look at the youtube video of a base 991.1 (3,4) vs an M4. The 911 is down a substantial amount of HP and an even more enormous amount of torque, yet the 911 is faster around the track.
Absolutely and exactly my point. Most people apply overly simplistic logic to the argument that the Cayman is faster/more sporty than the Carrera, when it's far more than just assuming mid engine > rear engine and that all it would take was the same power in the Cayman and it would wax the Carrera. It's just nonsense. On a windy road my Carrera S would wax my Spyder and it would do it will a lot less effort on my part. That said, I still prefer the Spyder.
