I love this new 911 design and performance.

Want. Want. Want want want.

400HP@11.8, very impressive.

I know I'll shit myself in awe when the GT3 variant comes out.

rdub315 · 01-05-2012, 12:39 PM

lots and lots of praise being heaped on this car from the big mags - R&T, MT, CD.

They keep getting better and better! Love it!

This is what I am stunned by... and the fact that it traps 118 with only 400 HP is incredible. Probably a combination of light weight parts and a fantastic gearbox!

Depends who you ask. The purists will always say that the 993's were the best cars. The newer cars keep getting more and more numb, refined and less involved.

That said... I'd still take one.

yes

graider · 01-07-2012, 12:29 AM

not really like the front or rear yet. side profile is nice. 20" is too big on this car.

OBI_agent · 01-07-2012, 04:41 AM

I think this is the first 991 test with pdk. Others have done it with that new 7 speed manual((1/4 mile in 12.5 for row yourself gearbox) and it wasn't as quick as this R&D PDK test.

Anyway, R&D always gets very optimistic times but I do expect it to be around 12 or less in other mags. I love this car
