That engine was bad enough to put me off replacing my 981 with the 718. I was vainly hoping that the halo models might get a 6...

So you are happy with what you have ...thats good

No, changed to a 991.2 which has less lag and a still great sounding flat 6. Would still consider a Boxter with the right engine though...

I agree - I was leant a 991/2 Carrera S when my BGTS went in for service - a superb turbo engine - and unlike 718 a more appealing car (to me) than the car it replaced which is how it should be done.

What a shame they couldn’t shoehorn a flat 6 into the GTS. Not the same car with the laggy turbo 4...

Laggy?

Maybe it's me used to NA Honda's but the GTS seemed just a bit quick but not as edgy as the equally powered 911T 3 litre turbo.
