Took my daughter to the hardware store in my 914 yesterday.
"Can we put the roof on?" she asked.
Nope.
"Can we take the green car (991)?" she asked next.
Nope. I'm going to the hardware store in the red car, and you can come along or stay here.
[Sound of feet as 6yo goes and gets her headphones for her first ride in a full-sized with the roof off.]
One block later, with giant grin: "This. Is. AWESOME!"
A few minutes later: "This is soooo much fun. Dad, your green car is kind of boring."
[Dad, meanwhile, is remembering just how nice it is to drive a simple car, and makes a note to use the 914 as the weekend toy it's supposed to be more often...a lot more often.]

An article like others, in these first months of 992 life.
This happened also when born the 996/997/991 .... The same history.
In two years 992 will be the best 911 for the present and after that it's time for other articles like this against Porsche and 992.2 and after against 999...
992 is the present and now the future... Take one a push gas pedal... It's always more powerful and now big diesel or other brand it's not so far...
Now the gap is zero and the car is a bomb...
Please try it, after that speak.
If you have a 200k/300k probably you can stay in front, if not NOW you suck.
With previous model it's a war loose... Now with 992 you win in 99% of cases
