More responsive, more power and revs higher.
You can't say that the F8X doesn't rev - it's got a higher redline than the Macan or the 997.
M4: 7,800 vs 997: 7,500 vs Macan: 6,800.
So when you say "The old Ms had engines that were great when they were high revving but in the turbo world, they don’t do it for me."
Did you even get it out of Efficiency mode?
The real point is that many Porsche fanatics have been disappointed with the 991 and some with the 992.
I know of a couple in my home town that have cancelled their orders on new 992's and are looking for 997 GT3's.
The 992 looks great, but it's no longer true to the 911's of old.

The s55 is a mediocre turbo engine at best , sure it can rev out to 7800 ( more like 7500 ) but power starts dropping at 6500 ,so you’re reving it out for no reason.
S55 is a better motor than a macan ,I’ll give you that. I disagree that s55 is better than 997 , your argument was that the s55 made more power? Try driving a 997.2 and see ,that an f8x does not compare to a 911 period regardless ,regardless of the numbers on paper. For example s55 makes more power than 991.2 ,yet its slower by quite a margin.
Why do you say a 992 is no longer a 911?
