Guenter in Ontario
I've said before, for people that buy by the numbers it's great.
There are still a lot of people that equate the "best" car as the one with the quickest 0 - 60 time. That's the first stat that a lot of people look for in a car test report. Maybe just numb-bum, but I honestly can't tell the difference between getting from 0 - 60 in 5 seconds or 4.8. There's a lot more to it than that. For me it's how the car feels, sounds, communicates and reacts to my inputs, so I can feel at one with it. My 987 felt and 981 feels like an extension of me. Whether the turbo 4 is going to do that for me, I won't know until I experience it.

Guenter--I wonder how much of this is the HP "wars" that's been going on for a few years which has gotten to the point where nearly all manufacturers have added high HP cars in coupes, sedans, cabs and even SUVs. The numbers hav5e gotten so high--C7 ZO6 @ 650HP/Dodge Hellcat @700HP/Porsche Cayanne Turbo S @570 HP--that I wonder if the buying public has become jaded by these big numbers and equates value with the published HP/TQ numbers. What gets lost in this discussion--as you mentioned-- is the complete driving experience, which get's lost in the streetlight GP considerations.
I think some of your numbers might be off, Stefan. Roger987 - 8 years ago |
