I very much doubt it. The 991 Turbo S is just brutal & one of the fastest cars on the market today. Tested 0-60 as low as 2.6 secs for a stock car.

It's an absolute weapon, next on the list for me once 991 is face lifted.

A 911 Turbo had been on my bucket list since I was 11 years old. I eventually bought a 997 Gen 2 Turbo and loved it so much that I upgraded it to the 991 Turbo S. In normal mode it is awesome but in Sport Plus mode it is just plain savage.

One evening recently I was doing my usual blast up the sliproad to join the dual carriageway when I noticed a car keeping good pace behind me. Normally cars behind just recede at light speed but this one was only dropping back very gently. Worried that it might be some form of plod, I slowed down and moved over. A Panther Black C7 RS6 shot past me...

Can't wait to finish running in the RS and see how the two compare performance-wise!

My mate got his yesterday.

He said it felt positively slow compared to the Datsun

He said it also felt twitchy compared to his well sorted Cherry

He is going to get the Geo sorted which should help as well getting the tyres scrubbed in a bit

It is a different driving style though suspect he needs to adjust a bit too

He is down for a RS which should be a much nicer drive.

Likewise, although i've yet to scratch the 911 Turbo itch, however the 991TS is the one that floats all my boats currently.

You having the 991TS & an RS6 in the stable is pretty much the best of both worlds. Liking the scenario on the dual carriageway, in the reverse of that is where i get most of my on road kicks nowadays when you come across something exotic & surprise or even upset them :bigblink:
