<title>Re: Think this is ridiculous ...</title><link>https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,57454,57466#msg-57466</link><description><![CDATA[ Good write-up, Pedro.<br /><br />It is sad that car manufacturers have to add all this fake stuff. And even more so with Porsche, which in the past had stressed their goal of delivering a pure driving experience. I'm sure that when Ferdinand Porsche said, "I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself", this fake stuff isn't what he had in mind.<br /><br />Who knows. Maybe the next nostalgic Taycan option will be a PHBB (Porsche Hay Bale Box) to feed the "horses".]]></description>

<title>Re: Think this is ridiculous ...</title><link>https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,57454,57458#msg-57458</link><description><![CDATA[ It IS ridiculous, but so many wannabes might want to think they can rev and shift -- and especially in a Porsche. Even if they can not drive anything but an electric one.<br /><br />This seems to me to be something of an "image relic", by which I mean that the Porsche image of manual transmission and high performance (revs) seems to be an enticement for newbies to feel good, and to feel part of the heritage.<br /><br />Fake it till you make it!]]></description>

I think they are running out of stuff to put in.<br />I wonder if the Ferrari Luce has fake sound and tachometer.:S]]></description>
