Futch, are you getting the 911 R ? 

No, it's a very pretty car but as a road car, the steering feedback of the 991 has failed to convince me so far, for me feedback is more important than performance (on the road).

It's better looking than the RS for sure but the lack of rear seats means I cannot take my little boy with me, so purely as a pleasure road car for example, for me the 997 RS 4.0 is similar (500hp, manual) and better in every aspects.

I also believe than 991 cars is a lot for a limited edition. I have however put my name down for the GT2RS. If the weight is contained, it should be a really good car. Power confirmed at 700hp. Would be nice to get manual option too, it will suit the turbo engine character quite well.

 

It will be very hard in any future cars to get what you are looking for  , unless they manage a big turn around and come back to old school ways. I hope for it too .  At the moment, the car I would want as a fun open roads car would be a 997.1 RS 

If I let go of my 997.1 RS I will let you know. I might at some point decide to try the 3.8.
