I drive an analog Porsche at my home.

I drove a fully computertastic Cayman on the Porsche track.

The Caymen would double downshift automagically in hard corners, it would let me threshold brake without thinking about modulation, it didn't ever let me wiggle the tail in tight esses...basically, it made me FEEL like a kick-butt track driver, with only an hour experience. I didn't have to think about the CAR at all, because it took care of itself, so I could just think about the TRACK.

If I had taken my car on the track, it would be weeks before I felt like I was advancing along, because I'd be missing shifts left and right, waggling the butt out into the grass over and over, locking up the brakes, stalling, etc.

There's no question that a computer defined car turns some shlub like me into a potential danger on the track, because it lets you feel invincible.
