Butt hurt a bit? Probably Has something to with Porsche being the dullest car manufacturer in the history of car manufacterers. Seriously each model following the 996 has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the McDonald’s struts the Brands’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of engine design, all to make cars unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Porsche vetoed the idea of Timo Bernhardt directing the engineering department; they made sure the brand would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just marked up economy parts bin cars for wives and Arabs . The Porsche brand might be feminine (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-BMW brand in its refusal of passion, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the 911 is good though
"No!"
The suspension is dreadful; the engine terrible terrible. As I drive, I noticed that every time I went to the track, the car had comical understeer, no chassis stiffness, and wasn’t even comfortable.
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time the phrase, ‘Porsche is upmarket’ ‘Porsche is sporty’ and ‘the GT3!’ Was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Porsche owners mind‘s are so governed by marketing buzzwords and ancient brand history that they have no sense of what Porsche is. If it’s not from Weissach it’s not worst owning. Later I read a lavish, loving review of a 911 C2S by the same Doug deMuro. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are Loving the 911 C2S on Reddit then when they get to YouTube they will go on to watch Doug Demuro." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you drive Porsche you are, in fact, trained to watch Doug Demuro.
