Re: F Type... or.....???
After dropping off my 991S for service got the keys to a F-Type V8S. It's completely dominated by the engine. Hitting the exhaust button made it the loudest car I think I've ever been in, including some 442 Chevelles and a 66 389 GTO. Course the Chevelles were from back when I was a teenager so maybe I'm just getting old...Engine response is good, torque is noticeable for sure.
Biggest let down was the gear box, coming from PDK the downshifts reminded me of an old tiptronic box. Interior was pretty nice, but as most people have posted it's overpriced. Perfect weather and at times the car struggled for grip; guessing one needs a big tire budget if driving it hard. Handling was okay, ride was pretty good, body control not the best. Got a lot of attention in it, but I think that was primarily the noise coming from it.
Interestingly the car I drove is one the owner of the dealership has leased, but he rarely if ever drives it. What does he drive all the time? A new Cayman.
It's a pretty car, the back seems a bit awkward to me from a rear 3/4 view, but it's nice. It would be a good used car a couple years down the road, but no way would I replace my 991S with one. Oh and the 'carbon fiber' wheel accents are kinda ridiculous.
