easternjets said:I got a bit of a surprise when the salesman told me the performance figures for the S and the 4S. The torque of the Gen 2 Turbo is a lot higher and especially in Sport. Whether or not they have the same mid range remains to be seen when I hopefully get one for a test drive.
Not just that but the handling is supposed to be improved greatly, especially if you go for RWS which I know a lot of people won't bother with unless they're tracking them.
I do prefer the shape over the 991 and I'm looking forward to seeing the Turbo in the flesh, should be a world class supercar.
Just spec'd up a std Carrera S to what most of us would like/want and it comes out at £112,073. Plus a 4S is only £5300 more.
Agreed on the shape, they seemed to have achieved the impossible! Would never be tempted, the 991.1 wins the sound battle hands down, that's the only reason I binned the 997.2. Seems the only gripe on the reviews is the sound. Otherwise looks a 5 star car.
But if I was :grin: 3 years down the line there will be some well priced examples where someone else took the depreciation hit :thumb:
