Finally someone speaks the truth. Love my Carrera but against today's offerings it's not that fast. Hell unless I try (5000 rpm+) Ford Expeditions and Toyota Minivans will go by me all day - sipp'n their lattes listening to Nora Jones, hair blowing from their AC. Sure I like a canyon road now and then, plus a generous helping of 2-3 redline shifts, but the majority of my Porsche kicks come from driving a piece of automotive history. I don't even try the stop light heroics cause frankly what's the point of beating up my clutch only to pull an Expedition by 2-3 car lengths?
