What do you mean when you say the gt3 was in your face?
Just a bit “Look at me” with the spoiler and cage. Nothing wrong with that, great car. It’s just, I’ve done the sporty GTS, GT3 for a while. What I really want is my current set up, with a GT3 engine, that’s the goal for me next.
Funny that you ask that.. as I'm now considering getting out of my Miami Blue 992 S...
theoretically the 992 has all the comfort features.. it's just as fast.. in fact its way fast!.. and has a lot of the physics
that make the GT3 handle so well... rear wheel steering .. the wide rear axle.. PTV.. big wheels.. mine even has the front axle lift too
for my sloped driveway...
BUT.. I'm seriously thinking of trading it back in for get this... a 991.1 GT3 with 18 way seats!
The 992 looks and feels big... you can feel the smallness of the motor sometimes.. and just the whole
fast reving/high compression turbo motor nowadays to create that speed.. doesn't feel fun?
missing some soul? . I've been driving a lot of NA motors lately.. and like that better..
Plus in my experience a lot of the tech.. especially voice control.. comfort door handles..
and having to touch the screen often for music stuff.. either doesn't work well or is very annoying...
I think what really kills the DD experience for the 991.2 are those bucket seats..
I had a 991.2 GT3 from January to June of this year. I picked up a 992 in October, but it has been in the shop since November 16th getting a new tranny. For the month I had the 992, I really loved it. The GT3 was amazing, but it did not have the same all weather usability as the 992 has (with my Porsche winter wheel/tire combo). It is more comfortable too. And the mid-range torque of the 992 is noticeable vs. the GT3. I do miss those 9,000 RPM rips to the redline, but those to me were also reminders of how slow the GT3 was vs my other cars. Double-edged sword.
Can't wait to get a 992 back (likely jumping into another C4S)

It is being replaced. Got a transmission failure warning. Dealer tried replacing a valve body, but it did not solve the problem. New tranny in from Germany. And I would still get a C4S again. That's how much I love the car.

I have the same feeling. I sold last year my manual 991.1 GTS for a manual 991.2 GT3, also red, and also with wing, because the GT3 was my big dream. I doubted about the Touring, but my 16 year old son said a GT3 must have a color, spoiler, cage and bucket seats. :-P Now i have the car, it stays to much in the garage, because it's more hardcore to drive than i tought, and as you say, it's really in your face.
That's why i'm also thinking about trading it in for a 992. I drove it a few weeks ago, and the difference in 'drama' is big with the GT3. Why did they make the 992 so quiet? The perfect car would indeed be the 992 touring with that good sounding atmo GT3 engine. Wat i also consider is the Aston Martin Vantage.
