QuoteGuenter in Ontario .....I think that Chris Harris said it best in the video I had posted before. It's a great car, just not as good as the one you could buy last year. I'm hoping that the driving enthusiasts at Porsche will see fit to bring out a flat six version for those who don't mind giving up a few tenths of second to get an exciting car again.

I was just talking to a 911 owner from VT who puts winter tires onhis C4 and drives it all year around, as it was designed for. Lots more fun than just waxing the paint off for six months a yesr in the garage.by Gary in SoFL - Main Forum
The new 2018 Porsche 911 GT3: Driven by sport Porsche 911 GT3 Porsche motorsport technology continues to be incorporated into street-legal sports cars, with the latest example being the new 2018 Porsche 911 GT3. The centerpiece of the latest 911 GT3 is the new, naturally aspirated 4.0 liter flat-six engine, which produces 500 hp and 339 lb.-ft. of torque.

Good to see old 'family member's' dropping by from time to time. Trust life is treating you well. Lot's of good times in our past.by Gary in SoFL - Main Forum
So, the 718S is much faster, has gobs of low end torque, handles much better, braking distances are shorter, possesses a more linear feel, is right behind the GT4 on the track, as the base 718 manual, is right on the tail of the S on the same track, and is a beautiful sports car. But it's sound is more 'muted' in the high rev range, when the top is dropped. For many that's not a bad trade-off.by Gary in SoFL - Main Forum
The difference in speed between the base and the S is mostly a figment of Porsche marketing and cost accounting imagination. The 718 manual sounds like a amazing Porsche that undoubtedly will 'catch on'. Primarily a driver's car, rather than a pampered, polished, back roads cruiser.by Gary in SoFL - Main Forum

That’s great! But autonomous vehicles are basically computers on wheels, and computers crash all the time. Besides that, computers get hacked every day. So you gotta ask, “Can self-driving carsby Gary in SoFL - Main Forum
