Latest from Motor 1 Refreshed Porsche 911 Spied Lapping The Nurburgring On Video (msn.com)

You can see the yellow stickers on the windshield, which I hear is required for electric/hybrid vehicles in case of a fire. At this point, all models of 911 Carrera (Base/S, GTS) have been spotted testing with the Yellow stickers affixed.

The whole reason I went with a GTS instead of the Turbo S is because I don't track my cars and decided I wouldn't be able to enjoy the full Turbo S power often enough to make it worth the expense in the current market environment. I have a 2022 Panamera Turbo S and it's mind-boggling fast. I can't imagine the bonkers 911 Turbo S. Do I still want one?, of course. But unless a sweet deal presents itself (highly unlikely) I'll stick with the GTS which has an almost identical power-weight ratio as my Panamera. And it's like they say, nothing drives like a 911.

As far as the Corvettes go, I was on the freeway a few weeks ago and a Vette pulled up next to me revving his engine wanting to play. I think it was a C7 but it was dark so I couldn't tell for sure. Anyway, he got left behind to put it mildly, even though his car sounded like it made good power. I always have a water bottle or two laying down in the passenger seat. If I do a launch, the water bottles literally stand up. The car is that fast...and why I can't imagine owning the 911 Turbo S, regardless of my desire to do so. I'd probably end up in jail with that car.

My plan all along was to get a 911. It happened sooner than I anticipated and because I'm perfectly happy with the 992.1 as it is, and didn't want to run the risk of waiting indefinitely for an allocation and take the risk of only some sort of hybrid being available, I jumped on it and pick it up in just over a week. I can't wait. Why I got the Panamera first is another long story. Sorry for rambling.
It must not have been a Z06.
