Wtf? :CWL: OP, we gotta know, how much did you pay for this piece of digital art? Oh, and having done consulting for a number of big players in the crypto space, I’m 100 percent with daveo on this. Total fucking useless scam vehicles. The only people evangelizing crypto are scammers and...

Seems you struggle with reading comprehension. I said the Taycan gets scary at 90, not that it couldn’t go faster. It lacks the feel required to have any confidence. That said the GT4 will run much higher mid corner speed than the Taycan. And why would I troll about a car I own?:CWL:

Yeah, I would disagree with you there. My GT4 cornered much more capably that my Taycan. Speeds where the Taycan wants to under steer into the weeds, the GT4 just sucks down into the road. There is a sweeper near my house that I could easily take at 125 in my GT4, that gets scary at 90 in the...

Having owned two 911s, a Cayman S, two Spyders, and a GT4, while I loooove my Taycan, I don’t find it very similar to the Porsche sports cars other than in ergonomics and interior design style. It’s a Porsche, but not a sports car.

What if the technology is low emission and eventually achieves economies of scale that put on cost parity with other power sources? In that case it might make a lot of sense. Agree it’s a big if, but then so we’re electric cars 20 years ago.

You can feel a car under steering without pushing it at 10/10ths or to the limit of traction. It’s fairly easy to feel when a car is trying to understeer on turn in and is being fought with mechanical grip and/or geometry that changes with steering angle.

Looks inexpensive.

It needs to have at least 400hp and 400ftlbs of torque, 200+ mile range, and be under 3,800 lbs. There’s no way it will be close to the weight of the current Boxster if it’s going to have a minimum acceptable range. For me to be interested it would need to push 500hp450ftlbs at that weight.

Camo.

The sound is due to straight cut gears used in a race car. The street car will not sound like that.

Yes, because Maseratis are affordable, reliable, and have a large, loyal customer base…

Apple-orange comparison for sure. Really depends on your use case and which car speaks to you more. I’ve not been a fan of the look of the new Vette, but I love the look of the ERay they just disclosed. The wider hips, color matched side pods, more aggressive splitter and (finally) a good...

Big news is there is supposedly a new suspension that’s really good, and the S gets a 4L twin turbo v8

Agreed. They won’t make it less aerodynamic than the current 718, which has a much sleeker front end.

Front end doesn’t look very aerodynamic.

No they’re not. Both 718 and 992 prices are dropping, materially. I’ve been following the auctions and for sale ads closely since I sold my GT4 nine months ago. Prices are dropping, and sellers that aren't pricing competitively are seeing their cars sit unsold. Even the new GT3 has seen used...

We’re not talking about initial impressions. We’re taking about conclusions about whether it was the right decision to sell the Taycan and buy a Lucid, which was what he said. Two weeks and 1,000 miles is hardly enough to form any meaningful conclusions about quality or all around performance...

Shit doesn’t start falling off at two weeks, nor do things typically fail or show excessive wear. I remember when I lovvvvvved my 2004 Touareg V8 at two weeks. At six months, not so much. You haven’t even broken the car in yet.

I think you’re confusing him with Dr. G, the troll that spammed multiple forums with his complaints. Dr Chill’s car didn’t sell quick because it had a lot of miles and it was priced too high initially. Taycans are depreciating normally, like cars did before COVID. Big initial hit, then steady...

LOL at drawing conclusions after two weeks of ownership.
