Just got back from an invite to drive the new 911 Turbo S and the Turbo is still a dull driving sensation in my eyes. Was the same with the 911 966 turbo as well. I had really high hopes with this one!!!!!!!

GT3 RS so much more involving a drive. I know they are different beasts but I was disappointed.

For me, it was the Ferrari Testrossa. It felt like driving a truck, but faster.

Also, I was disappointed by how comfortable the 997.1 GT3RS was. It was a fantastic car to drive, and I never really pushed it, but I was actually hoping it'd have a stiffer ride than it did.
