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.

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

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.

On the GTS topic, if anyone is looking for one, there is a brand new one for sale on Rennlist right now for sticker.

Track duty? In Porsche parlance, the GTS is, and has always been, nothing much more than an option package/trim level for marketing purposes. It’s never been a track focused offering.

No it’s not just appearance. It’s about how it moves. The Taycan feels and looks like it’s directly connected to the drivers brain. It just moves immediately and linearly, with no drama. The 911, while blisteringly quick, does it with a ton of sound, fury, and drama.

You misunderstood my point. I wasn’t saying that it would have made economic sense. I meant that the actual design of the car is a two door design they stuck foor doors on, compromising space, ingress and egress. Given the design constraints, it would have been a better car to drive if it had...

Yes, but Ferraris and Lambos and Corvettes have always been big. Porsches weren’t. The 992 took it to new heights (widths) with its ugly fat ass. It’s a barge at this point. I commend Porsche for still making it perform though. What convinced me to go Taycan over 911 was that video of the...

But the 911 isn’t a lightweight sportscar anymore. It’s a big GT car. A very capable one, but still a GT car. And the rear seats, while better on the Taycan, are still compromised due to the small interior and roofline. I actually ruled out the Taycan initially when I was looking for a roomy...

I could never get past the looks of it. The shape is just clownish. It looks like an egg with wheels. And the interior was ridiculously garish and overdone.

Well the 911 has become such a fat pig with all that junk in the trunk that I expect they’ll have no trouble squeezing a hybrid powertrain in there that retains the basic ethos of the 911.

Saw my first EQS in the flesh today. Oh my. They should have called it the EOUS, as in HIDEOUS. I hope there is some kinda function following that form, because the form is simply awful.

I take it you haven’t seen the video of Chris Harris driving the Mission R… Porsche’s EV sports cars are going to be absolute beasts, and likely way more fun to drive than their ICE counterparts.
