More and more power = the car doing more of the work and not the driver.

The car doing more of the work = Less feedback, more numbing experience.


If they could figure out how to make a 500 hp car that wasn't dangerous to the average know-nothing, unskilled, deep-pocketed driver without dumbing down the experience it might be highly entertaining. But that will never be the case because Porsche isn't going to slide over the keys to a un-diluted, pendulus, power machine that will have the owner up a tree before the break in period.

Oh and these prices are getting into what used to be exotic-only territory. A Carrear S is a nice car but it's no exotic. You could park a $120+K 991 S next to a second hand $40K 997 S and the far pricier Pcar would seem no more exotic or "unattainable" with enough left over to buy two Florida foreclosures with swimming pools in the back of each.

No thanks.

p.s.
and no handbrake? What the hell kind of sports car doesn't have one of those.
