If the OP doesn't feel happy about the car, he should trade it for something else. Happiness cannot be convinced, it has to be felt.

I am happy with my base 991 Pdk. Hit above 150mph during a 200 miles drive. On a B road, it handles beautifully. The PSE is sweet music to my ears.

Problem solved... for now. Until the13 yr old (then) rides in it. Then there is Switzer.

Some of it is due To how smooth the new 991 feels. It is very planted and stable. I Am surprised by how quickly I can accelerate without it feeling fast. It is a strange feeling. But enter a turn At Speed and you instantly recognize how fast This car really is.

An M3 (for instance) has more pure power off the line, but the 3.4 991 is a better car all around.

And, as I have always heard it, a Porsche is never about being the fastest 0-100mph. It is about being the best car on the Autobahn, where 60-100mph matters the most.

Amen to that. With the added interior room, the 991 doesn't give you that feeling of recklessness...but trust me, it's faster than a 997.
