The 2.7 engine is sooo much more fun to drive than the 2.4. Fabulous you were brave to do that.
What’s your logic? I prefer the sound of the 2.0/2.2 liters or the grunt of the 2.7. 2.4 is neither here nor there in my mind. But I’m open to new opinion So!Quote:

The 2.4S is ok but a bit dull, the 2.7 RS is the best of all worlds, good torque and a great top end too. Opening the 2.4 to 2.7 RS just makes it sooo responsive.
These are just a personal opinion, others may have different preferences.
A 2.4 S that's been RSed is neither.
I agree but I was responding to those that said they felt the 72S was the high water mark of 911s even Better than the RS.Quote:

Sort of like deciding your favorite Victorias Secret model :)
I heard about his passing today which is very sad but he lived to 90 years old and I can only image what a fantastic life he had and the experiences he had in life. RIP
