I really do...for my family car...I really don't for my weekend car ;)
I honestly agree with that :D

My comment is probably more relevant in the Cayenne thread 8-)

I quite fancy a Morris Minor with servo brakes, electronic ignition and a decent radio. 8-)

I don't have a problem with turbo charged 911s - having had both a 991.1 C4GTS and 991.2 C4GTS - I can honestly say that both cars were absolutely awesome. Arguably the Gen 2 model had more useable power as the shove was at the lower end of the revs. It did however lack the theatre of the NA noise.

I'm not certain whether they will or won't go turbo charged for the next GT3 but for me it would be a shame if they went turbocharged on this model I think it needs to stay true to it's NA origin.
Current:
992 Turbo (July 23)
MG4 EV Trophy Long Range
VW Caravelle 6.1 4motion DSG
Suzuki Swift Sport
