Lightbulb Interesting Stuff From The P-Car People...

Just thought this was an interesting review on some new tech from Porsche. I wonder how this will play out long term...

Ps. This maybe floating around the site but wanted to see what the locals thought...

I'm not local, but I'll stick in my $.02.
Nice car, but why on earth didn't they use legitimate paddle shifters instead of those stupid buttons? You put in a mondo F1-style gearbox and then put in buttons to shift with? Dumb IMO.

I guess most P-Car owners really have nothing to prove as the car is a status symbol for most. Alot of owners will track their Porsche as well to let out their speed demons. Few will open it up on the street unless they are driving the Turbo Models. I have seen several open them up with no hesitation.

Being the owner of a 700+bhp Z32 and a 650+bhp 996 I can assure you our AMS rides are put through their paces No sense in owning a sports car if you plan on being gentle or afraid of breaking something. Wanna play gotta pay is the mantra.
