Thanks Vince. So you've owned older 911's of the same vintage as I have. Did you initially find the controls of the 987.2 "heavier", and not as light?

Expecting P-car owners to know what an R32 feels like is like asking Ferrari owners if they find their 3xx cars to handle differently from a sporty Fiat.

One question that has come to light since last Saturday's test-drive is, is there any harm in driving all the time in Sport mode? With the button on?

Not sure why Porsche even added a button unless you're not meant to be in that mode 100% of the time. Mad Max only hit the nitro when he absolutely needed it, but that's b/c he only had so much nitrous in the tank. Why turn the Sport button off?

Bottom line is, I'm going to have drive some more 987.2's before I can decide.

Thanks all.
