Tonight I decided to venture into sport plus with my GTS . With 1200 miles I felt that despite a few speed sprints I hadn't tested the full monte . That changed tonight .
1) Sport Plus has become even more sophisticated . In older 911's the rev's only shifted at redline . That has changed a little . For instance I put it to SP at 10 mph as I entered an on ramp to an empty road . I wanted to be sure no other cars were there so I took the car to 30 mph slowly . When I saw the all clear I punched it. SP takes the car all the way to redline , the shifts are immediate and it will downshift if needed when slowing down .
2) The sound and pull are just awesome . Its fast enough ti feel sufficient and balanced enough with the RWD / lightweight package to feel agile .
When I shifted it back tl sport to drive home I replayed the event and thought about how much I love this car . I had been daily driving it all day running tasks . Its the perfect blend of what I needed .
