oh by the way,
I agree with MN. The cars have changed greatly over the years with reliability making ownership to the common man more of a possibility.
But these new developments that that have worked their way into sports cars
are a disaster to preserving the TRUE sports car driving experience.

STEER
THROTLE
SHIFT
BRAKE

these^ are the four fundamental things that define the sports car experience as Senna said "I am opposed to anything that diminishes the role of the driver".
When you "over assist" the sports car driver to the point where driving a sports car and four door touring car become TOO SIMILAR you've lost the plot completely.
And that's what is happening to the majority of Porsche cars today. They are being produced to build a Porsche super company and they've relegated the true sports car experience to the Boxsters,GT3's, CaymanS,CGT's for the enthusiasts to pick from while bloated Cayennes, 911's and (some Boxsters) pay the bills to build this Porsche super company.
c'est la vie (now lets check out thos Panoz).
