It separates you from your money a lot more quickly.

Of course, the vehicles held in the highest regard are ones that are naturally aspirated instead of turbo because people like the sound better.

I have a 991 4S. Before that, I had an M Coupe. I like both a lot, but they're very different cars.

Does the Taycan have a vintage 911 driving mode ?
Set the computer back to 1980 930 Turbo handling mode,
with loud cooling fan noise piped into the cabin and trailing throttle over steer.

Ahh yes, this is what I was afraid of, nostalgia.
May just go old skewl and buy used.

Sold your M-Coupe!... why? Hope you got good bills for it.

I just had a crap ton of service done to mine by Enthusiast. Most I could have done myself, but not all. I wanted it good and sorted before we move. Time crunch and wanted it done right.

Hope you're happy with the p-car and not missing the coupe too much.

Sorry for the slight thread drift folks.

Well...the real tip-off is that there's a GT or R in the model designation...

RSR, GT2, GT3 RS, etc...

It was only a matter of time. I assume all car brands will be doing this in the near future...
