the 991S has a lot more torque I know, but it can't compare to the torque of the f type

so yeah still utterly confused

the practical side of me says 991S (as most replies to this thread recommend), but the ftype made me smile like a child..
You need a 991.2 then: the new turbo engines are so well balanced. A 991.2 C2 is a beast, no S required.

The 718 is similar in that the 2.5T for the S is a sea of torque if you can get past the wet fart exhaust note. My dollar cannot get past it and the flat 6 sings instead.

My other car is a 335d, so I have the other end of the spectrum of addictive twist at low RPM, but for sports cars I want to rev it, feel it and hopefully not be too illegal. The 3.4 is arguable too much for the cayman. A 3.0 would be perfect
