    I just today traded my 2012 991C2S for a 2012 997 Turbo-S and I can't wipe the grim off of my face. It is so fast its scary! And, I have already found that I like the steering feel better than the 991. It will be my DD at ~ 18k miles per year. I hope I can avoid getting a ticket before the week-end is over.

    Yes, and the acceleration is addicting. I need a radar/laser detector, jammer, donate to the police fund and donate to every judge's election campaign in Georgia if I have any hope to keep my license. The thing will go from 0-100mph while crossing an intersection. It is the fastest car I have ever driven. It makes my old Viper GTS seem like a Dodge Ram truck. The factory list 0-62 in 3.1 seconds and various magazine tests have it at 2.6 to 2.9 seconds and I believe it. I'm going need to put Tire Rack on retainer.

    You should buy a vbox do you can record your times. I have one and it's fun to see my 0 to 60 times. Best in my 12c was 2.9. Average is about. 3.1. Not bad for rwd.
