More of a question. Perhaps a ? would have been better on the end of the title line and not..... Also make people take a look and talk about 991.2. I'm not sure it's better. As I said I need to drive it.

I'm on the same fence , maybe it's the other way around, you need to hop off the fence. Simply, there is a chasim between a NA 911 and a Turbo 911.

Every positive review just confirms how st it is if you listen carefully to the objective content and ignore the auto-diesel-loving tosser at the wheel.

I can't tell you how much I wouldn't want that car - I think the facelift has made the car look worse at the front and the engine sounds st - I can't believe they've put a 3.0 turbo in a 911 - real shame !!

Agreed Rich. Nothing appeals less. Pure US bagel lugger.
Saw a lava RS in Lovetts Swindon today, you're a lucky guy.

All of the best race Porsches over the years have been Turbos.......... when you race them you love them , a nice pair of K 27 s with some lag and brute Torque delivery with no electronic safety features .................. cannot think of anything nicer / challenging..

more the point is a new 911 now has more steering feel than a 991 GT3 !

bet it's a very nice road car.

I would love one as a daily.

How do you know if you have nt driven a 911.2.?

It won t have......different suspension, set up and clearly not all 911.2 will have 4ws...and .it is a c £1500 option.

STEERING FEEL, not set up or sus or RWS ;-)

gen 1 electric steering is pretty dire, it's put me off porkers for a while esp the 991 and 981 range.
looking forward to a test drive in a 991.2 car now they have had chance to bring feel back into them a bit ;-)

I'd argue that the 991 GT3 steering is dire;
I certainly don't find it a problem
that was coming from a 996.1 GT3 CS
yes it's different... but there are greater differences elsewhere in the two cars !

as for the 991.2 Turbo models - I'll reserve judgement until I've driven on myself.
Car mags need to sell copy. never objective
