JST - did the SS feel sort of slow? Presumably the torque feels great, but 500hp is the new 400hp.

Same reason I’m ok going to a 315hp 981 BS. Fast enough given the weight but I am also looking for a very good handeling convertible manual trans car. I am getting old but the hp numbers game and 0-60 before I can blink is just getting silly.

I’ll go TD and JST one better. No Stick AND No SOUND No sale. Period.
I don’t care how fast they are.

The others are right, though--next to the Model 3 or Model S, every internal combustion engine feels like its both gutless and expending way too much effort to accelerate. |

This is too funny....
The most 'fun' I have ever had was in a car with 120HP. Even my 997 isn't more 'fun' than my old 2002. But that's just me.
