I've seen a video of Chris Harris reviewing the 991 and enjoy his commentary and driving style. He's the second reviewer to say the Boxster's e-steering is better than the 991's. Aside all the configuration variables, perhaps the reviews have caused Porsche to tweak it and the result is showing up in these newer reviews. Then again, it might be attributable to tire fitment... although it looks like Pirellis are used with the 20 inch wheels, which I think are standard for the 991, whereas the 981 S with 19s gets Goodyears. Early in the video there's a lot of rear tire smoking which made me wonder if the car had PTV. He mentions later that it doesn't. As far as what he said about PSM, I believe at least one of its devices remains active event in the Sport Plus (?) mode. A nice thing to know is that the intakes are on both sides now. What nobody, including Porsche seems to mention is that the rear suspension is a multilink like the 911. The only place I've seen it so far is in a detailed dealer document. He makes an interesting comment about the reduced feel on wet roads, although the mu-split steering technology might mitigate whatever's lost. I still don't get this whole "man's car" thing when it comes to Boxsters. To me the car is gender neutral, and let's face it: this board is populated by pretty much all guys.
Walter Röhrl mentions the lack of tailspin which might be attributable to his car having PTV. Also, summer or not, the road surface had to be quite cold and I wonder if the car was equipped with what will become the approved winter tires.
