AWD would seemingly eliminate that, and give me more mobility options up here in snow country (the M3 has been out of the garage once all week, and that's pretty damn annoying).
The fact that the new 991 GTS can hit 60 in 3s flat tells me that AWD is not needed in any 911 due to the weight over the rear axle. Equip it with snow tires and its winter capabilities should be even better than M cars which are very capable.
