The new Boxster - the triumph of technology over skill?

[Topless]

It's a valid argument but I don't see a lot of guys still running these cars:

My great grandfather was a Studebaker dealer from 1911-1925 and also a race promoter in those days. It was the beginning years of motor racing and required a great deal of skill and courage. If you got it wrong, you were killed.

I have appreciation for both driver skill and marvelous technology. My current car has no nanny controls other than ABS and a rev limiter which purists still consider a technology crutch. I enjoy the freedom and simplicity of these cars buy my next one just might have to be PDK. It really is that good. YMMV
