For the manual fans:

Hagerty at 16:45 in his video review.Spoke with Frank Moser about the base manual who replied that “we have some ideas”.

 

Watched all the reviews and man - dissapointed with new 'active aero' on GTS.

They explain why its always open in reviews, because of some safety regulations or stuff. So basically - car is standing still or very low speed - open. Mid speed closes and at higher speeds (prolly over 90km/h or 50miles/h) opens again.

Honestly with system being so limited by law they could have made front look better and have one less point of failure, not to mention ppf'ing this will be a nightmare.

Didnt see it close once yet in any review tho and work, anyone did notice the system work as active?

 

Or when the diplomat was asked about a blind date…...”well, she had a good personality.”

My disappointment is no detailed discussion or video provided of energy recuperation during track driving. Porsche could have easily shown it during the video of Burmeister driving hard on track. The camera is already pointed directly at the PCM. SG could have also provided it during their track session while chasing Burmeister on track.

 

The 911 has never sounded that great.

Even the GT3/RS cars sound like broken dump trunks at anything under 6k RPM.

It's just the nature of the Flat-6 and the rear engine layout.

Saying the previous 992.1 sounds better than the upcoming 992.2 is like saying the 992.1 is the tallest midget at the circus. At the end of the day, you're still a midget.

 

I don't know. I kinda prefer the sound of the 911. I have had cars with bigger engines (ie M5 etc) and while the V8s do sound great, there is something so good about that flat 6 that I can't quite explain. That sound seems to be gone in the new GTS.

 

 

Yeah, I disagree too. My 997.1 with Fabspeed exhaust and 997.2 with X pipe and gundo hack sounded fantastic! I also like the 991-992 era GT3 sound. I never heard a dump truck sound like any of those three.

 

This review talks about the sound, says it isn't fake/augmented.

 

Lieberman drinks the PAG Kool-Aid fairly heavy, though most of us here do as well. Jonny seems to mostly only say anything overly positive regarding the GTS and above as he tends to knock any model below the GTS. Just my observation over the past 3 1/2 half years.

 

[QUOTE=Fullyield;19539118][QUOTE=Defrag;19539008]Watched all the reviews and man - dissapointed with new 'active aero' on GTS. one of the videos has it, not sure which. Im 100% sure it was shown.

 

I tend to agree. I don’t think the modern 911 sounds bad. To me, it’s pretty sonorous. I have an appreciation for both high revving NA cars and force induced cars. Turbo spool is as sexy to me as an 8000 RPM wail.

 

I can’t wait until the 994 debuts, that might just the car that gives all you old ****s a heart jammer once and for all.

 

LOL.

That's like saying the midget is tall because you put him on stilts.

 

They were asked in the comments and replied, so unless they're lying (but what is a lie nowadays?) it is true and I agree, unfortunate.
