Carlos from Spain:
To me what I get out of those times is what a fantastic job Porsche does with the PSM, something we have talked about here meny times. Only Porsche is able to provide an electronic handling system (ESP) that does not hinder performance as much as other makers, in Sport Mode it doesn't even seem to hinder it at all, and still allows for sport driving enjoyment without an electronic nanny intruding in and throwing and ice bucket on the fun on every corner.
Details like these all add up in the end and makes me always coming back to Porsche everytime... hope that never changes over time with the VW take over...

I actually thinks being rear engined has something to do with it too.
The tail is not as light as a front engine rear drive car so it doesn't swing as quickly and violently as the others, that makes it much easier to control, modern 911s can be driven out of a slide simply by staying on the throttle, that means the electronics doesn't have to hamper performance that much when compared to the other cars.
