TBH, I know I will win no friends with this comment, I don't get the need for all this low rev torque on a sports car. If it's a track car, i get it,if it's a daily driver grocery getter i get it as it makes DDing easier but dear me, sportscar?? I want revs, and a little theatre, torque just robs you of that on the street when hustling something nimble.

Can honestly say I'd take 991.1 GTS with the 430HP NA engine over anything else for the road right now.
I totally understand, there's a different feeling to working for the power and being able to rev an engine all the way past 8k RPM or higher. Its more fun, involving, and sounds even better. Its the reason cars like the Miata, even though they're considered slow they are fun in that you have to work for the power. Its the whole slow car fast idea.
