Default 992.2 > 992.1 so much sadness for .1 owners coming

This might be the biggest jump in driving dynamics within the same chassis since the 996.1 to the 996.2 for the GT3.

My sister's boyfriend has an uncle who knows a guy who works at Porsche, and he said AP told him the .2 chassis will be made of recycled jelly bracelets.

Not sure if you forgot to reference an article, but…

.1 owners generally have a good trade-in a dealer wants for the .2 so, not that sad

Based on this thread I’ve decided to decline my 992.1 Touring which starts production next week and wait on the .2. Hopefully I can find someone to take my 992.1. I’d hate to get stuck with it.🤣

based on this evidence I'm canceling my RS allocation and waiting for the next great thing.

The .2's have always been the keepers. Granted everyone here got their .1 at MSRP so they won't have to worry about losing anything on the trade.

That's a matter of perspective. I prefer the .1 version for both 997 and 991 RS's
