99% of people look at a 911 and think it's a weird VW beetle, so while you're probably technically correct that doesn't really seem relevant. I dunno about y'all, but one of the main reasons I bought a 911 in the first place is because things most people would never care about are noticeable to me. Surely that's true for most of us in some capacity, whether it's leather quality or panel gaps or paint finish or driving dynamics. There are serious diminishing returns (relative to the cost) in all of those categories when you go from, say, a Camaro to an M3 then to a 911. If I didn't notice and care about some of them, I'd have bought something else.

To say that nearly a second between going full throttle and achieving peak boost is "not noticeable" is sort of like saying you can't tell the difference between a GT3 and Carrera's steering unless you're at the track... it's just incorrect.

(And fyi, a GT3 and Carrera both equipped with RAS have a very similar on-center steering ratio, before that comes up again).

That mode isn't meant for driving at all, just for saving fuel and should be never kept on if the intention is to enjoy driving your 911. It gives a completely wrong idea of the car's nature and capabilities (and is even outright dangerous to use IMO) but this wouldn't be the first time that someone here is complaining their car to be laggy just to find out that they've been in the NORMAL driving mode. It's hard to imagine how anyone could feel that their 992 911 doesn't respond to the throttle when in such low gears other than for this reason.

Normal or not, the car is laggy.

Nothing is certain until it is so guess we have to wait until next week.

Not interested in any more faster speeds, in that case Hyundai ionic 5N may smoke more than half of the 911s.

it’s like the same driving experience, but better.

big impact on 992.1 GTS owners with the manual —they have the last of the manuals.
