While I agree on lap times, it shows potential, and the fact that it on a street tire is nearly faster than some manufacturer BEST cars on cup tires says a lot about how dynamic and good it is (as they always are). And again, also coming from a current 991S owner with a highly specced car that is perfect and walked away supremely impressed. It felt like a slightly less powerful rwd version of the 911 turbo, and that's saying quite a lot.
So when EVO called the m3/4 "the biggest dissapointment" did you take that as gospel? BTW top gear also said it suffers from lag. Any turbo car will have some...no matter what they use to combat it or who it is.
EVO did give the 991.2 5/5 stars and only had great things to say and said no lag noticed.
Interestingly enough, Car UK does say there isn't detectable lag in the 718S. The VTG and anti lag tech Porsche is using is something unique and quite responsive for response and not laggy at all.

Ok you do have us here a little. In their defence, I think they were comparative to the E9X V8 motor and that wasn't a comparison which was fair. I also hesitated quite a bit because I really wasn't comfortable with the sound I initially but it grew on me.
You liked the 718 then? Have you driven a Golf R? Is there any comparison at all.
