For 385 HP! 3.59 seconds is insane ! 10 years ago the 997 Turbo S was putting out numbers like that. That is insane! Do you really need a Turbo S! It cant have 385HP! I’m thinking 405 HP

@colinhardy7203 2 жыл бұрын

Pretty much everything you say about the 992 is bang on imho Joe. I’ve had my 992 C2S cab for six months now and the only two negative things to mention are, as you say, the peripheral console visibility and the rough-surface tyre roar. I have been unlucky - I have had some quality issues… but without doubt this is the best car I have ever owned by a long way. I’ve had some nice Beemers too - Z4M Coupe, Z4M40i - but the 911 is in a different league…& price obvs. Love your stuff…

Spot on review. Ive owned a base 911 for a month now:bose/chrono/20-21 wheels… feels faster than stated power(launch control induces nausea). Normal ride mode just as you described(surprisingly comfortable) but hit sport plus and you better hang on, really tightens up the chassis. Amazingly, at 6’-6” 300 pounds i fit in it. I hate digital screens but porsche manages this one well. Middle screen is tucked under dash and is unobtrusive but a bit busy. Push a toggle and it disappears. Main dials function vey well, tach is front and center.

Driving sensibly quickly I find I’m moving between 2nd and 3rd regularly but for normal driving I’m working with 3rd and 4th only moving to 6th when cruising though it pulls well at 50 mph in 6 th.
