How come both my C8 Corvettes and Cadillac SUV’s had a better back up camera, and better dynamic turning guidances (the lines)?

Should we mention the 1970’s base sound system. Why was my 991 base sound system so much better?

Guess memory seats is something American cars get right.

I guess I don’t understand the uproar over the back-up camera.

The wide angle distortion is really bad, to the point where your brain can’t accurately judge distance of objects.

It's not that the camera is a key car feature. But at 120k+ you expect something not worse than 40k cars. It's like going to a really fine multiple course menu type of restaurant and cutlery is plastic. You can still eat but it doesn't go together.

Maybe I’m in the minority then. The back-up camera hasn’t ever been an issue for me.

Gear Shift Assist display will give you color graph of your rpm above 5500rpm. Very helpful on track.

Apparently this turned into a 992 complaint thread instead of cool or interesting things to know.

I subscribed to learn cool things about the car before it arrived but all I’ve learned is reverse camera complaints 😂

Could. Not. Agree. More.

The 911 is a great car, the issue is 911 owners in far too many cases.

It being a sports car is lost on too many. And no, being a 6 figure car is a tired and old argument, and still does not change the point.
