Re: OFFICIAL: New 911 GT3 (991)
reginos:
Since we have no further news about the health of the afflicted GT3, we diverted to politics!
As with politics also with cars a lot is based on propaganda. People are fickle and gullible. The GT3 attracted godlike admiration up 10 days ago, whereas now it is on the delete list. Same with political figures and events.
harsh words..but certainly some thruth in it.
However, comparing a GT3 to politics..you cant compare this. The lifespan of our dumm and corrupt politicians - Im using the word "corrupt" here on purpose - as it happens a lot in Germany also - but not under the term "corrupt" but more under the term "nepotism" - is maybe 10 years..exceptions do exist and if they do exist the are relying on what I just said.
Anyway, my point is, Porsche has been building things that are still years after end of production admired and well sought after..Porsche 917, 962, TAG F1, 959, C-GT, GT3..all these things are still admired by many - and many even pay lots of money for this. I highly doubt people will in 20 years say or admire Ms Merkel for her brave and effficient actions on solving the economic crisis in Europe. I just cant see people meeting up in 20 years in "Merkel fanclubs" and discuss her great actions. In 20 years she will be forgotten and be worth a small paragraph in history books but our cars, still in 20 years people will try to drive a GT3, meet up on sunday morning, exchange their passion etc.
The example of Merkel could be portrayed to many EU politicians..and Im sorry for this excursion to the politics here - I like it :). My personal opinion is that she is one of the dummest chancellors Germany ever had, above all she is lying to its people - and its future generations. Porsche is nothing against that..they have some short term problem now..but their "harm to society" is much less..
Long live our cars
