It's actually lighter and more powerful than the old model and the lightness is thanks to a shift to largely aluminium construction. So it's hard to argue that the engineering integrity isn't there.

I have to agree, on the time sheets zee Germans rarely miss with a new Porsche.
The fact that the 991 S, stock, is quicker right out of the gate than a 997 GT3 tells you some big improvements have been made on the engineering side.
The 981 front end is growing on me. A baby Ferrari California.
Those gimicky doors and Panamera rear end not really.
There was an interesting fan letter to the editor in Excellence from a San Francisco Porsche driver complaining about the lack of physical e-brake lever in the 991 for steep hill traffic light stops.
The editor told him to brush up on his heel and toe.
