A downside to uber fast cars is that you run out of road (which we all know is where the vast majority of these cars well spend all their time) very, very quickly.

I'll use a comparison between my 2600 lb (wet, with driver), twin-plugged, heavily-worked-heads, custom exhaust, bigger turbo, big-cammed, Megasquirt-controlled, etc., etc., etc. 930, with my bone stock 996 C4S.

The 930's acceleration was nothing short of blistering. It was way beyond what, in the olden days, we used to call a$$hole fast. The 996 by comparison, even thought it's still considered a pretty fast car, feels very pedestrian - feels pretty damned slow, in fact.

Of these cars, the one that brings (me) more enjoyment in public-road-based spirited driving (for me that means country roads and mountain twisites) is the much slower 996.
