The new Porsches are very good street cars with very little competition. And the buyer's are posers who, unlike us, don't care about motorsport. Perhaps that's right, but.....
It annoys me to see how Porsche AG absolutely "must" squeeze some motorsport history, heritage and past glory into their brochures and advertising. They know the 986/996 basic models won't do good on the track. They haven't been to LeMans for years. They haven't won anyhting big with the new cars. Still they use the "magic" to seduct buyer's. A poser 996 owner will enjoy telling his collegues and friends how Porsche is the factory with most victories in LeMans. So of course he'll fall for the marketing.
"So my dad can beat up your dad. Erhm well, at least if he was 15 years younger he could". That's Porsche's marketing. "We can't do it today, but 15 years ago we could". And as dynamic business men they're going to use that to sell cars you know!
Fake.... Either be honest or don't try to seduct buyer's with past glory.
Had to get that out
