Having gone from 993 to 996 to 997.1 to 997.2 to 991.1 to 991.2; Porsche has yet to let me down in chassis adjustment combined with weight addition. Their engineering is so damn good that it wont bother me. The 992 standard Carrera S is 5 seconds faster at the Ring than the 991.2 albeit with more HP (7:25). I do agree that at some point the weight has to be cut off.
I read about the gps speed limit too; non factor for me as its 190 mph unless I read it wrong. I dont think Ill see that LOL. Ive come close at 189 before but on a closed road and in CA those are hard to find.
I didnt find that the change from the 993 to 996 was that impactful from a chassis standpoint (compared to other iterations) but the 991 was clearly a game changer in performance and driveability with the longer base and lower lines. That chassis (as you know) is amazing. I expect the 992 to be no different.
