You are right about that. Especially considering 987s have a HUGE DEAD SPOT at about 2k RPM (which the ECU flash I bought claims to remove) and it is very annoying. Feels like a crappy automatic transmission.

Let's say you are going WOT in a torquey, muscular car. You feel yourself moving fast, especially due to the torque, but do you ever need to be going that fast for daily driving? Surely half the throttle will get you in front of any cars you want to pass with ease.

So the other half of the equation would be just what I am talking about, the thrill, and that would better justify using that driving technique. Maybe I am totally wrong about this.

I'm only explaining again because I think I did a poor job explaining the first time.

I think the solution is that we all need a Lamborghini. Problem solved. Who's in?
