Water is not soft at that speed, the impact absolutely knocked the **** right out of me.

It is understandable why folks may be a little leery of going in a micro boat that does 84mph...

I have a stand up jet ski with a modified engine with porting and pipes and tons of stuff to make it work. I think it does about 55-60. I let some friends ride it and they will get confident and fall off at that speed and their bodies will tumble and skip like a stone across the water lol.

Jet Ski's are fantastic - a buddy from Alberta used to race them competitively before COVID; he had a Yamaha stand up unit that had likely similar work done to it, and the ballast taken out of the nose. Went like stink, but when it inevitably dumped me into the drink, I was unable to get back on it a) because I was weigh to heavy and b) as it was standing vertical in the water and I would try to get it onto a more horizontal plane to get moving, it would simply launch vertically out of the water like a rocket...

Good times.

They would do this neat race around Lake Havasu in AZ - 100+ miles around the perimeter, killed the highly strung ones really good, something that looks fun to try.

The GTC4 Lusso comes in two configurations; 6.3L V12 AWD or 3.9L TT V8 RWD. The only ways to distinguish between the two are the wheel design, opening the hood, reading the interior badge, or listening to the motor. The V8's sound is unfortunately flatulent until the tach hits 7k, and doesn't come close to the aural spasm of the V12:/

And of course, hard to see the wheels from the back...

Neat toy nonetheless.

I've always been enamored with the GTSs, how do you like yours compared to the 996 Turbo?

The 991 is a bigger car and you sit much more in it. The center console changes definitely create more of a cockpit for the driver. The 996 and even 997 are much closer in spirit to the G-body, which was my first 911, having smaller internal dimensions and better overall outward visibility Compared to the turbo, power delivery of the GTS is obviously more linear with a much better soundtrack. The modern tech and better fuel economy when cruising makes it a better GT car. But I am not much of a fan for the 7 speed. I live in OR and the sport suspension setting is too stiff for optimal canyon carving, so I rarely use it. I don't love that the sport and sport plus buttons impact rev hang in different amounts (without any sport mode selected the rev hang is unacceptable). All that said, the GTS is my wife's car and she loves it, especially the 18 way seats and their ability to hold her tight. If we take a 911, this is the one she prefers to be in.

I put a dsc sport suspension module in my 991tts, wayyyyyyyy better ride.

That being said, I love my manual more, so I drive the 991 year round, park the 996 in the fall.
