Road quality compliance is actually a concern of mine as well. I don't want another car that is so stiff that it rattles the fillings out of my teeth when I drive over a slight crack in the street. This is the reason why I am leaning more towards the McLaren MP4-12C one day instead of something like an all out track ready car like the GT3. But we won't really know until we drive one. Plus I just like the way that the McLarens doors open up, although the GT3 may be cheaper.

I havent read up all too much so this is interesting. Do you think they are comparing the car to its previous generations? Id then say its still a hard ass car. Do you think the PDK has something to do with this as rowing is far more laborious when it comes to street and traffic driving? I love my 9914S- with the right options (active suspension) you can get a docile yet very hard daily driver that has entirely limited body roll and neutrality that is quite amazing. But that is mostly chassis and the GT3 and the 991 are slightly related. You do have to drive the 991 in sport plus mode though to get the most out of it. Totally off topic but a local dealer had a used RS5 so I went to drive it hoping it would have somewhat of the same feel as my R8 (not really but was just hoping maybe a smidge LOL) and while it was quick, it still carried moderate understeer into turns over 80 mph. It was a very fluid car though- the gear shifts were unfelt in sport auto mode. I really like the way it looks so it intruiged me a bit. But now it doesnt not so much LOL.

I am not at all concerned about tightly sprung suspension. In fact, that will be quite welcomed, especially on the GT3.

I dont care if we have good weather or not, an AWD car serves more than just a climatic consideration for me.

AWD can certainly can have its benefits outside of foul weather.

Get a GT LOL.. 90% of the power is rear wheel based!
GT Option 1: GT Option 2: Only those ones have CCeramics and they are mind blowing on the GT. Didn't notice if any are close to you but if they are ask for a test.
