Clipper, a few days ago I also greatly enjoyed a circa 50 mile cruise round local interesting roads once they had dried up after the rain washing all the salt down the drains. Undoubtedly the digital decision making and resultant actions taken relative to the way the twists and turns were handled, encouraging me to think I might be a far better driver than I am, can be quite amazing, and more so if one it tempted to engage in employing a little more power passing the apex than really necessary to maintain a smooth exit...Perhaps even more enjoyable if the exhaust flaps are selected to be opened, and the sound symposer piping induction roar through into the cabin... Jeez what a load of technology bundled up into a sports car...!
All this year the old Mog`s keys have ever been the ones reached for on any reasonably sunny day... None of the complexity of the above for sure, or indeed sophistication, though pops und bangs a plenty, perhaps even flames induced on the over run, as one dances heel and toe down through the gears to create a tad more volume from the orchestra... Good old Mog...(-:
I note you used Simons post on Porsche marketing, amazing how quickly the worm can turn, as apparently the "overs" some were happy to pay to be allowed to buy a GT3 and the likes, may be a thing of the past, and where reportedly it seems almost anyone can perhaps buy one by just walking in off the street... ?
With a bit of www searching it seems Porsche along with others may have fallen on hard times.
Whether fake news or not...?
