I don't understand: My 1M weighs same /less than 991S. How should a 991S weigh 500lbs less than the oncoming M2?
And the 'driving sensation' similar to M3/4. You're right, the 991 has grown bigger and heavier. Driving sensation is hard to define/describe but I bet the M2 for me will be much more 'sensational' than a M3/4 or 991S.
And people will ask: Why is a 'normal'991S just as fast as a 997GT3 on the Nordschleife. Because it was equipped with special semis which with the first raindrops you'll end up in trees/armco. That's why....
We're not talking GT3 stuff or Cayman GTS here, are we?
Many (German) tests of 1M vs Cayman S(even the new 2014 Cayman S)in the slalom/wedel/G force/braking distances give similar numbers. We all know the Cayman is the 'better'drivers car than a 911, so I don't think an M2 driver will be dissapointed, at all...
I think a 'normal' 911 is overrated since it was born. Having driving >10 in different specs(1972---1986, '89, '92 964RS, 996, 997S, been in a 997 GT3, 996GT3)
