My perspective on performance shifted when I bought and started commuting on a fast motorcycle. The thing was so fast that I could never wring it out. Power wheelies and 100mph in second got frustrating because I was always feathering its touchy throttle. It turns out speed isn't that much fun and motorbikes are 10x more engaging than a car.

I've driven old and new gts, gt3, gt3rs and... they're quiet and comfortable. The power steering feels numb and... they're way too fast without feeling fast or engaging. Where exactly can I wring it out?

I've got a 930 with improved suspension - its rough and noisy and I love it.

Over past 5 years I've driven several friend's new miatas and that are totally wonderful. I literally cannot comprehend what porch buyers are imagining with these new cars. Too many posters on their bedroom walls.

As sad as porch buyers are at least the cars are reliable. Porsche buyers aren't being abused the manufacturer like the ferrari and mclaren fanboys - I think those things are an actual disease.
