Hi Denis,
Yep. Too much capability delivered in too civilized a fashion may indeed be part of new Porsche's plague.

I remember fondly my drives in an early Golf we owned. It was a ten second to sixty car. It handled well enough. I used to rip along some great canyon roads at speeds little over the limit. But the sensation of speed was great and I probably was closer to the car's capabilities than I ever get in the 911. So, the overall feeling was that I was flying! The newer and more capable Porsches only really feel fast when being compared to other cars wheel to wheel. But that sounds like racing, doesn't it? I guess then that the the newer Porsches shine on the track but that capability isn't usually evident on the road due to the very high rate of speed that needs to be attained to show that capability.
