Zzoba,
I understand your anger, but it's not that bad.
Wiedeking saved the company from going bust in the early 90s, let's not forget that...
You know, it's not just about Porsche, these new breeds of Uber saloon cars (E55, RS6, new S8, etc.) are taking on EVERY sport cars!
The Modena, is slower than the Turbo so needless to say, it also suffers from the comparaison, the Astons, the Maseratis, the Jaguars, they ALL suffer, none of them have the 500hp of the S600 nor the 476 of the E55AMG as a matter of fact.
Only the 575MM with its 515 and the Lambo Murci are up there and still have way less torque than the Mercs.
The Zonda is an exception.
So, it's not ONLY Porsche.
This escalation of power is bit "pointless" IMO.
Ok, I can see the flames coming towards me now,
"what do you have in your garage Francois?"
Ok ok, I'll give you that, but you see, I don't even compare the S600 to my 996 or a turbo or any other sport car, it's a different machine made to take you from A to B in total confort as fast as possible and with your family, a Boxster is made to put a grin on you face on a sunny day, and it does
Fanch.
