The car did not perform badly and would probably be a better track car to throw around the turns. however the overall reliability issues I had left a bad taste in my mouth and we were reluctant to take it on even weekend trips which is absurd. I understand 992 is also having the water pump issue. I imagine this car would be better bought used as a weekend track car.
Additionally, the enjoyment and thrill factor that I had driving it was not that much better than other sports cars I had previously. I've gotten just as much enjoyment from my BMWs. (G8x M3,/M4 were too polarizing, too boy-racer so were not an option).

The water pump leaks are still not fixed? Dang.
Any other issues with the 991? I've usually heard they're pretty solid otherwise.
