I don’t know what kind of lawnmower you have, but I want one.but everything next to the taycan feels like starting a lawnmower.
I'm with you - I do not like the 992. Taycan is incredible especially to use everyday - which I will be doing when my order arrives in June.991S and Taycan Turbo.
I don't like the 992 so much, Taycan in contrast is like in a different Galaxy.
Like the 4-seat sport car setup, comfort and acceleration. Range good enough and better than expected.
The 911 is lighter and more agile, better on the track while I now think the Taycan's better on public roads.
I'll have to report once I receive my car this summer. I ordered air suspension and standard (summer) tires.The one thing that feels materially worse in a Taycan is braking hard into a corner. Although I have all seasons and it’s only summers on 911. Does anyone know if that’s significantly improved with summers on a Taycan? Probably not since the Taycan weighs what it weighs but not sure.
The only problem I have had with the Taycan from a handling standpoint is braking hard into a corner from high speed. This is one heavy mother, and as planted and stable as the car is, there is not much that can be done to counteract the momentum of 5,500 lbs coming into a corner at 120mph. It just takes a long time and you are VERY aware of the weight of the car in this circumstance. Summer tires certainly bring the distances down, and the feel is better, but you know you're dealing with a massive weight that wants to keep going straight and it demands your full attention. Otherwise the handling pretty much defies physics.The one thing that feels materially worse in a Taycan is braking hard into a corner. Although I have all seasons and it’s only summers on 911.

The answer is 100% YES! and not only when it comes to the feel when braking hard into a corner, but nearly every aspect of this cars performance characteristics is improved IMO.The one thing that feels materially worse in a Taycan is braking hard into a corner.

What does a lap like that do to your tire tread in the Taycan?I came from a 997.2 6 speed manual, and in my first HPDE session at COTA with my Taycan 4S, I matched my PR.
I look forward to hearing your feedback about the same track driving on summer tires. Should be something very different I believe.OEM all seasons - I plan to repeat a track date when my all seasons wear out and I put summer tires on it.
What summer tyres are you going for? There are not many options for the 21in wheels. Michelin PS4S aren't made in the right size. I think I'm getting P Zeros.I've done approximately 20-25 laps @ Laguna Seca on my 2020 Taycan Turbo - tire wear appears to be in the 30-45% range for those 25 laps - tires were "greasy" after 5 full pace laps - OEM all seasons - I plan to repeat a track date when my all seasons wear out and I put summer tires on it.
