"I have been disappointed with some of the early track reviews of the 992. Seems like the car is fast, but not engaging. The fact that the whiz-bang new tech is a sensor to turn on all the nannies to max if the car senses it's raining tells you where Porsche is going. I have some faith the GT models will be on point. Doesn't matter, I can't afford any of them."


I like this comment for several reasons......I can't afford any of them either. I've been swayed by the looks and the interior of the 2013 991.1. In a year or two a 2013 might be a used possibility for me?

However you couple all the electronic Zoom-Zooms and Wham-Wham's with an aging car it becomes a nightmare to maintain. I just read an Excellence article that said that the entire bumper and azz end of the modern turbo has to be removed to change the oil and plugs?

Porsche is becoming a company that I can no longer identify with. I love how engaging and easy to work on my '84 Carrera is.....plus it's paid for.
