I drove that 991 and i honestly didnt like it at all. The steering is lifeless and the chasis was too buttoned down. It drives more like a GT car now then the older Porsches.

I do agree the steering could have more feedback on the 991, but in every other category including looks, the 991 crushes the 997 in every parameter possible. haha! the 991 was not an incremental step forward, like the 997.2 was, but a new superior car in every way. The 4 inches of extra wheel base has taken all the bad attributes out of the 997 chassis (front end bob and rear end nervousness when off throttle). My 996 GT3 was a great driving car, however even from a pure performance standpoint it doesnt hold a candle to the 991 GTS. There is no comparsion when you hit a mid corner bump....
