I won't debate how good the car is, the numbers speak for themselves. Hard to go faster for less money. Our previous "rice" debate was fun, where I learned that a Chevelle is better than an Evo, thanks to the magical "displacement". Which we all learned, circa 1955, there's no replacement for.

There sure is a replacement for displacement. It's called boost. Maybe some people like driving a rally car on a regular basis. I'm not one. Maybe some people like street cars with a power band as wide a a mosquito's *****, I'm not one. I've had the on/off clutch arrangement before in an over-powered 911, miserable to drive. If I'm going to drive something that requires a mouth piece, it will be on the track. On the street, I love the, torque from idle to red line, performance of my 928. Will it keep up with a 4cyl on 35 #s of boost, probably not. Will it be infinitely more enjoyable to drive, absolutely.

This is why Baskin Robbins "don't sell just vanilla."

And by the way, when I spend $70K for a POS like that, look for the crack pipe in my hand.
