Re: OFFICIAL: 911 R (2016)
looking forward to the first Rennteamer real life reviews .....
I see one of my neighbors drive in a GT Silver one , but did not have the occasion to talk to him , which is usually quite difficult , as he is either in his car, garage, or house .

You are in US, he is in Switzerland, different mentality.
They don't do stuff like that, Swiss in particular.

he said " one of MY neighbors " and presumed fellow Porsche uberenthusiast , not a car/ residence / person randomly passed by going from point A to point B ....reason for my initial reaction!

We're at the point where you can be the fastest or just sound like you're the fastest.
The secret of life is to admire without desiring.
Re: OFFICIAL: 911 R (2016)
These numbers do not look good for a $200,000 car. Its slower than other Porsche models which are $50,000 less. Goes to show you what marketing can do. One cannot account for blind gullibility.

In my opinion, if you're the person to judge a 911R on numbers, you're not the person for whom a 911R is intended.

I agree too. The R is obviously not a bad car, but... it has been cleverly driven by marketing and a "limited" plaque to become more than it's parts.

Andy never intended the R to be a suer fast car, if he did, it wouldn't have a manual gearbox. It has a 'brisk' pace, as in fast enough for him, will not be fastest anywhere but that's not his intention.
