BTW, While the base engine might be enough for most, I can report it is not for me. I need more zip!

In other news, my selling dealer has extended an offer to purchase my T back. We will see… I am currently mulling it over with 6XX miles behind the wheel.

Edit: While I like it, I am not in love with it unlike my base 997.2. At this juncture, I do not believe I am ever going to fully warm up to it.

I may have previously stated this, but I truly feel that the 997.2 is the pinnacle for the water cooled 911.
At 6XX miles you have not really opened it up, though. But if the sub-4krpm driving is uninspiring, even if it totally came alive above 4krpm it would probably not be enough to make up for it.
