Default 991 vs. 992 | TOTAL 911

https://www.total911.com/porsche-index-991-1-carrera-s/


A mixed bag. They prefer the way the 991.2 GTS drives, but rate the 992 a huge, if not perfect, success. Theme seems to be, they can hardly wait for the 992 GTS.

Any other tidbits? I can’t access the article. What did they like about the GTS over the 992 S? Power is roughly equal though the 992 is much heavier.

Hope this works. The hard copy has not arrived yet, so this is off my phone.

Not really fair to compare an S to a GTS, but I thought some would find this info of interest.

Thank you for sharing! Great read! They really should have compared it with a 4S purely apples to apples, but interesting none the less.

Thanks for sharing.. Oh me, oh my! Does the GTS ever look so much nicer? The sideview mirrors alone on the GTS gave me and erection.

Lol, you need a real woman then because cars, much better cars, do not do anything close to that for me. . . and to stop trolling 992 threads

There is very little light between journalism and advertising so it’s best to just look at the pictures and skip the text. In this magazine the feature cars are often for sale and dealers (UK) provide opinions.

Interesting. It says center lock wheels on the 992. Didn’t see that as an option.

I've sold 1 of 2 991's with the possibility of buying a 992. I'm seriously trying to like the 992.

Lol, those links prove/show nothing. Why in the world would anyone try to convince themselves to purchase a $150k sports car they are not sure they like. That makes no sense. If you don't like, don't purchase. There are a bunch of great non-Porsche options out there for not much more than a 992 if you have the $$$s to play in this sand pit.

Agreed. It’s hard enough to spend 150k+ on a highly depreciating asset (unless you **** money) when you’re certain of the vehicle, imagine when you are forcing yourself to like it.

I like the 992 interior more than the 991 (minus the PDK shifter) but the rear of the 992 is disastrous in my opinion. 991’s rear end is miles better looking.
