I know a lot of that is rear engine placement, but we are talking cars that are solidly in the 4 second range. It’s pretty wild to me for cars that are well under 400hp.

I am surprised how quick a base 997.2 is. Sure an S would have been my preference, but a base to drive occasionally around town and/or up to the mountains fits the bill just fine. Plus… it saved me a considerable amount of cash. Last edited by SCA; 11-25-2021 at 08:57 AM. |

I think I could be perfectly happy with one of those--although, make mine a cabriolet.

Also would not have Sports chrono but my dealer said that it was a must have option and would be good for resale which is why I ended up with it. |

How long had you been waiting? I would have liked sports chrono, but it was not a deal breaker and now that I own one without I believe I prefer it without the “dash wart” as it is often called. |

I can't complain about my 997.1... The power is all I would want. It is plenty to get me into trouble... more then would be more trouble. LOL

As far as the wait basically when the 991 was released I wanted one and when they finally announced the manual was coming out (months later) I was in full out 'want one now' mode, I took delivery April 2012 so I am guessing about 6 months from 'want' to 'delivery' |
