Obviously the 991 is a more refined and better performing Porsche, engine technology and tire technology continue to advance.

Yes lower lap times at the Nring etc.. But it lacks the mechanical involvement and its own unique interior design cues and elements that some Porsche drivers like. Its almost too refined. Great car yes. A faster 911 yes. Easier for a driver to get better performance from it? Yes.

But is it really more .fun to drive? Or is it  just so refined and so instantly competent that its boring after a couple of days? Some say yes. For a start maybe some of the GT3's suspension design and set up needs to filter down to the ordinary 991s. It needs a heart, more soul, more personality. Right now except for the GT3 its just too vanilla.  If the new Turbo is like the last Turbo in weight and comfort characteristics it just repeats being a alternative choice for old guys who don't want to drive a old farts SL.

A electric parking brake switch for a 911? Come on!. I know we have entered into a era where even Maserati builds a diesel Ghibli and Porsche wants to sell trucks to the masses.. but each newest Porsche seems to get further and further away from the magic that Porsche once offered.
