You know, in the big picture, a 911,being rear engined just does not have enough forward weight to justify the expense and complexity of any type of POWER ASSISTED steering.

The big,luxurious console between the seats is also unnecessary as there really is no transmission or drive shaft forward of the seats.

The original 911's never had any of these items!

I am very fond of the 981. But, I have to tell you the throttle blip is one feature that I absolutely hated. I do NOT want my car to blip the throttle for me. I am the driver, I blip the damn throttle.

BTW - The blip is only on manual car with sport crono package. I won't be getting that.

This brings up what might be (might be) a flaw in the 981. I missed two blips when downshifting heel-toe. I wrote it off that the pedals are different than the 986 and I would get used to it, but I'm not sure.

Even it it was a flaw, I would put new pedals on the car before I let the computer blip my throttle.
