It looks the game but I hear ya if it cant match it up with the powaaaaaaa
Power for sure but I kinda anticipated that, but more importantly to get to the power I felt you needed a runway... Felt super long geared. I also felt very disconnected not as raw as one would think it should be. Maybe I'm nit picking a bit but for the price used lambo for me... lol

I hear ya, no one wants to wring out the gears every single moment to get delivery.

I had a 2018 NSX and it was impressive from the 30mph to 120mph range with the electrics giving me immediate power but after 120 they shut off and the car was "just" a 500 hp car and it would die on the vine.

I did tune it and got some back though but the JB4 style never 100% worked with the ICE and electrics at the same time. But the car did drive well with the magnetorhelogicals and the cabin optics were great; I had great road vision there.

So for me immediate cars on my radar:

Turbo S
Maz MC20
New NSX
992 GT3

But having the GTS kind of fills the 992 gaps but the Turbo S is faster and the GT3 is more aggressive. I like the new MC and NSX but not sure how they drive... yet.

GT3 Touring? 🙂

either or, the winged is more pronounced and my style of aggression though.

Touring runs about 20k up in the used market and has its own classic approach which is appealing.

The two young kids and ADMs are keeping me out of a 992 but I keep looking back at all the room in the garage and hearing sad trombone noises. In the meantime I’m going out to a track experience later this year to rip a gt3 rs around for a couple laps to quench the thirst.
