MKSGR:
"Hardcore fans" who cannot even feel the difference a totally new and outperfoming chassis makes
He said in the article "the Cayman is the new 911" and I stopped taking him seriously.
I get it, the 911 is too expensive (yes, I actually share his opinion). Does the pricing make the 911 a bad car? I doubt it.
Do I like the 202k EUR my new 991 Turbo S costs? Of course not. I had been offered a 997 Turbo S two years ago for 25k EUR less with practically the same options.
Pricing is one thing but the quality of a car a different one. If the "greedy" pricing makes Porsche cars better, well...I have not much to complaint about. However, for this kind of money, I would have expected at least 600 hp in the new Turbo S.
I'm afraid I see what is going to happen with the new 991 GT3: Journalists will drive this car, they will be faster in it, they will be amazed by the handling but at the end of the day, they will claim that the 991 GT3 is too comfortable.
