Specs and driving impressions will tell. The 991 C2S impressions I've read and heard say more capable but less fun. Probably better to try to see the car in a vaccuum rather than just comparing to the 997.

Very nice. I hope the 7 speed manual transmission is true. I don't know about a GT3 with a PDK.
The 991 looks good but starting to look long. |

I'd say stick to the simple formula of offering a street legal race engine with a good ol' 6MT. It would be even better if they can stick it with an old fashioned hydraulic steering rack. In this day and age, we REALLY need a car like that. |

I have confidence that Porsche will do it right. The new technology has not been mastered, give it sometime. It's all in the engineering. |

The biggest BRZ selling sentence that keep ringing in my head is 90% of the Cayman S for half the price.

Looks sick as always, but do they offer a "front engine" option yet?

Faster and less fun, but will it be faster than a GT-R around the 'ring yet? Porsche engineer's ears must burn every time someone says that. They'll have had 5 years to catch up by the time the GT2 version of the 991 goes on sale.

Revolutionary. You would almost think that we have not been looking at the same basic body style for decades.

GT3 is about homologation for actual racing. PDK is faster. computer-controlled automated gearboxes came from racing like F1.
The GT3 and GT2 are migrating to the M97 derived engines, rather than Metzger blocks, to fit the PDK gearbox. And even if they do have manual gearboxes as an option, an ultra over-drive is rather pointless on a race car homologation... a 6MT would probably be fine. 991 is out... I want to see the 981 Cayman next... but that is rumored to be held back until November, but I have no idea why... 981 Boxster is already out. |
