Finding springs or a HAS for this car has been a challenge; it comes with a rear factory helper spring. Im first going to see how great the chassis is with the oem setup but for sure Im going to added some catted dp's (200 cell) vs the OEM 700 cell.

Yeah it goes to the highest ranking Porschefiles as well --- I like it but I dont want a manual so that kills it for me.

I'm with you, on the manual. I would own it if I was collecting Porsches, but, to drive it, not really. But the exclusiveness, and the lineage, is amazing.

Porsche is funny, I inked the deal in my name and I get an email telling my car has finished production and is at the dealer ... I log into my Porsche account to find this-- Irony is this was taken back in March and I didnt even custom order the car (which is usually how you get to see "track your dream" which is the Porsche walk thru process from order to delivery).

My bmw dealer had this 22' 911 4s today with 1kmiles, considered trading in my bsm m4 parked next to it… but after a test drive I wasn't that impressed, not powerful enough and drove like a luxury tourer… although transmission is amazing. I have a 992 gts on order, will wait for that to come in, anyone know how different a gts is to a 4s in terms of the driving experience?I hope it's much better….

I have my ideas about why all of the dealers have dozens of 992s with under 1,000 miles on them. Like they were worth more money than used.

Wow makes me think twice about selling my 22' M3 Competition in hopes that I can buy a 991.2 GTS again and work up to 992 GTS.

Not sure about 992's but when I had the 991.2 GTS it was noticeably different than the base 911 I test drove. The GTS will definitely feel different than a convertible 911 with AWD for sure as it weighs several hundred pounds more. And based on my experience owning three Porsches, you can actually feel the weight differences, even 50-100 lbs.

2022 BMW M3  [9.50]
EDIT:

My bad. Im half awake. I thought this was another question from another post I responded too. Disregard. Sorry.



I had a 17 991.2 S and a 19 991.2 GTS and then 2 2020 992 S's in a row. My favorite was my 17 991.2 S. The 991.2 GTS was faster than the S model, but only in the mid to upper RPM did it pull away from the S. When I got my 992 S's they where basically the same speed as the 991.2 GTS. Just heavier feeling.

Sadly both of my 992 S's where buy backs. So I lost faith in the 992 platform and came back to BMW since leaving in 2017.

If I go back to Porsche. It would be a 991.2 or see what the 992.2 brings. But I am totally over my 992 experience. I was not happy with mine.

Interesting feedback. What are your thoughts on handling, feel, chassis rigidity when comparing 991.2 GTS to the G80 M3C? Ive owned a 991.2 GTS as well but owned a GT4 afterwards so my memory isn't as well "calibrated".

Every single 911 Ive owned out handled the M3 even in x drive form. The 911 is the best drivers car period as far as I'm concerned. It smokes the M3 in regards to handling, feel, chassis rigidity. They're two completely different cars so that's to be expected.

Ive have 2 E92 M3's. 1 F10 M5, 1 F82 M4, 1 F80 M3, and two G80 M3's one RWD and now an X drive variant. The X drive is the best handling M3 Ive ever owned. But handling wise the 911 is king to me.
