Yes, overall these are incremental (evolutionary) changes over the 991 but that's what keeps the line focused and true to its form.
In that philosophy, things that ain't broken don't need fixing and tradition is important.

But you can't really win as a car manufacturer, can you?
Too much change and you have people saying Porsche/BMW/Insert Brand Name here has lost their way...the older models are better.
Too little change and you have people complaining about what's the point of the new one...might as well get the older models.

My favorite is still the 997.2 but all in all, I think the world is better off having this 992 GT3 than without it.
The interior is a huge step up as well (I find the entire 991/981 generation of interiors to be quite horrible).

In the end, can we just celebrate the fact that a car manufacturer is even making a brand new car with high-rev NA engine with a manual gearbox in this decade?
