well top speed or laptime is not critical in determing a sport's car authenticity but these days with minivans packing power like what one used to find in an M3 as recently as the late 90's, then how great is your sporsts car if it can't overtake a soccer mom in the fast lane? A sports car has to be quick relative to its peers on road in the real world too. I'll be damned if I have to wait for that Soccer Mom so I can merge!

Porsche doesn't make a new car today that I'd want to buy.

How in the world did a discussion about a car that Porsche might make a few years from now - turn into a **** size contest?

A **** size contest, by the way, between people who for all intents and purposes drive the same car.

I've been on motorcycle boards for a decade at least and it's the same damn ****. "I took off my passenger pegs and my lap times increased". Please. I've been trained at track schools, I know better.

Same with cars. Back window material and cup holders don't mean **** where speed and agility are concerned. Yet we have folks on here trying to claim those are deciding factors between a real car and a poser? Good God almighty.

I expected better out of a car forum. Guess I was wrong.
