992.2 Info

Things I wish the new 992.2 would have:
-better sounding stock sport exhaust (not gonna happen).
-better PDK paddles (similar to the the GT3RS, also not gonna happen).
-no PDK nubbin stalk (not happening)
-Grabbier standard brakes (maybe?)
-lighter overall weight (nope)
-higher redline (on Turbo charged models, Ferrari's go to ~8k rpm, and not gonna happen).
-lightweight bucket seats with more articulation.
-better standard color palette.
-Factory ducktail option for all models.
-nicer looking aero kit.
Instead , Porsche says, here is a more expensive, heavier hybrid for you. Thing is, I'm still very curious and eager to know the final specs and details. 10 more days...

also —what you are not hearing about yet is the good stuff. None of us really care about the hybrid powertrains. But there’s some good stuff coming too.

Andreas Preuninger has repeatedly stated that if individuals want lighter weight then maybe they should consider losing some weight themselves. 😂 Valid point.

Good question...if the GTS still has a turbo, which seems to be the rumour, I should be able to tune it close to 650hp bringing me near the stock Turbo S power of a 992.1.. GTS is also much lighter and RWD which makes it a bit more fun and nimbler on the track in my opinion..

It’s kind of sad because all the dashes have no soul to them anymore. If you covered the badge on the steering wheel, you almost can’t tell the difference between all the brands. It’s a giant rectangle screen for the driver, and a giant rectangle screen in the center.

As long as we are wishing for things on the .2, would it be too much to ask Porsche to give us back a seat recliner mechanism that could actually be used without contortions and broken straps?

Quite true; even for the new C43 AMG Merc, which has an E-Turbo, theres very little options. Im not too far from M-Engineering and Fabspeed which I will approach and possibly be the guinea pig for downpipe development and prospective ecu tuning.. I think once unlocked the GTS will be the ultimate power/weight ratio car tuned.. ill def keep the forum updated on this once the car arrives...

David - Good news: Porsche will be happy to provide reclining seats and electric steering wheel adjustment as a new $3,000 option. Hey, it’s the Porsche way, right!

I see used Roma from 190K online. I admit a used Roma is still more expensive, but they are in the same ballpark.
But I was mostly referring to a new 992 RS vs a used F8 Tributo. The new normal crazy adms of the 992 RS definitely put it into used Ferrari F8 territory.
