flatsixnut,

I am not refering to "turbo's" as in motor. I am refering to the 996tt and GT2 as in weight. As in 1000 to 1300 pounds overweight.

 

I'd rather have cars like porsche's get safer and safer even if that means the weight needs to be increased. I would rather have the porsche be 1000 pounds overweight but an extremely safe sports car rather than have it be so light and small that if the driver makes a mistake we lose them.

 

sticky,

There is nothing wrong with that. Your position confirms what I'm trying to convey. Weather it is power, handling, safety or comfort, there are trade off's depending to what extent you push any one catagory. The more you push the envelope in any one catagory, the more the the catagories will suffer.

 

The article claimed that the Manthey was a b**** to drive in traffic, because the clutch was "rock-hard". It also doesn´t wake up until 4000 rpm. These setbacks, however, are nothing that couldn´t be fixed with a multi-disk clutch and a pair of zero-clearance or BB turbos.

 

Gotcha. And I agree.
