ADias:

A puff piece, and this says it all:

"The vast majority of drivers of 911s have not been the types of people to really get the most out of their car when confronted with a twisty, sunny, country two-lane. Rarely do they ever really take the engine up to the 7000-plus rpm zone. The majority love the 911 in little moments of gusto between traffic lights, and love the storied image a 911 brings to the minds of all of us. "

The real fans are the type of people to get the most out of their car when confronted with a twisty, sunny, country two-lane. Often take the engine up to the 7000-plus rpm zone.

PAG knows their present customers well. :) 

I actually think they are spot-on.

There are very few 911 owners who actually know how fast their cars can go, or have the skill to drive it properly. I'm sure most 911 owners on the forums do as we are the enthusiasts, but the harsh reality is that most 911 owners are not and we are a minority. There is a reason that the best selling 997 globally was a C4 Cab Tiptronic and not a similarly priced GT3, which sells perhaps 10% in comparison.

The only consolation is that Ferrari drivers are worse.
