In his defense, most people as you acknowledge won't take it to the limit so the distinction is blurred, we are talking cars that are primarily designed for the road I didn't take his comment as a sign he is disinterested in cars. Targa seems to look at things from a practical road driving consumers perspective. One can't be all things..but when we talk about at best 10 seconds seperating a car from another over a 7 plus minute track ...the seperation is academic for a road car...all sutleties aside. I like the turbo because it is fast..plus it has a number of features not found in other more track oriented cars. It's not the fastest in some circumstances...but under others it is by far the fastest...no contest. But at the end of the day...nobody discovers that on the road against a suitably matched driver because it is too dangerous...so it all depends on the way you view things.
