That intro with the "Golden Ticket" was hilarious.

Not particularly a fan of any of these YT car entertainment types, but glad they raised the point that I've said before of the shorter gearing getting you two WOT redline shifts before you're at 'ticket please' speed levels.

Shorter gearing + LWFW + lighter wheels, keeping the tighter steering and suspension, on a GT3/T might be better than an ST, outside of exclusivity.

I have a feeling that I'd be very happy if my GT3 had the S/T suspension tuning on the softer of the two settings and kept the stiffer of the two settings as it is.

A DSC controller should help solve that problem since it’s just damper tuning.

But DSC is still not compatible with 992, AFAIK…

Been waiting on them to release a DSC controller forever now. Looks like they aren’t able to figure it out.

This is the review I have been waiting for. They're truly nonbias and just call it how it is(one of the reasons they were low on the list for the press car). My take away from it was don't love it or hate it. Is it the greatest, no. Could it handle better yes. It's alot of parts thrown together which we knew. It's priced to a point where you'd expect a bit more.

The fact "this is what a base Carrera should be" says it all. Its simple, with a bloated price.

These guys are what most all of us are, Overgrown children that just want to have fun in cars. No brand loyalty, and bringing the Subi into the vid was a subtle chide at the price point.

As I have said before, its not the greatest. Not bashing, just repeating others hands on sentiments.

I'm truly shocked the made the steering sloppy. In a 911 of this size without the RWS and soft spring rate(which is obviously the electronic calibration equivalent to the 3rs turned all the way down on the **** and not actually bespoke), this will make it somewhat cumbersome in sharp curves.

Snappy steering to me is the heart of a sports car, take that away and it's just another car. A sports car is supposed to be harsh, rigid, exaggerated, and most of all untamed. The ST tries to blend cushy cruiser up front, race car in the back....

Awesome job Porsche, you created the Mullet of the luxury car world.

The ST is cool in concept, I won't ever have a need or desire to own one. Much as them. I don't love it, nor do I hate it as a machine. I hate how Porsche rolled it out to its customers.

Porsche marketing has learned limiting production of a model requires a significant increase in MSRP. If im not mistaken, the S/T has the higest GT MSRP. Not sure why.
