Pros
- 3.8-liter flat-six delivers fat torque curve at the low end, while being free revving at the high endSmooth as glass, well balanced and refined feel for comfortable cruising, yet urgent enough when driven in anger
- It's a 911, with proper headlights-what else needs to be said?
Cons
- Porsche seems to be leaving vast amounts of power untapped-if that's a con
- High price
- Muted exhaust just doesn't do the car justice
Notes
- Tested on Texaco 91-octane fuel. Tested at GTPro in Fullerton California. Ambient air temperature was between 68 and 74 degrees F during testing
