Oh come on, those are so tame! You only really get in the game with "What about the IMS" n the 996?

I think we should discuss which backup parking method is best, a car or motorcycle. And to proof that motorcycles have the best backup parking method, here is proof

After driving a Taycan Turbo with all the performance options today, I've concluded that the answer to the PDK vs. Manual debate is...neither. After having my mind blown by that car, I'm of the opinion that our ICE cars are dinosaurs and we're like cavemen arguing over whether we should use dung or leaves to heat our caves.

I will end this debate now, "everyone" knows that the absolute best cars are:

- painted some shade of blue (Miami, Riviera, Mexico, Maritime, Arrow, Voodoo, Shark, Cobalt, Sapphire...)
- interior painted to ext color
- with yellow PCCBs (matching seatbelts are optional, but only if in matching ext. color)
- LWBS
- 6MT

anyone who questions this "fact" should quietly accept that they are totally and completely *wrong* ... this is based on science! the debate is over!

well dung probably is more efficient at heating lbs for lbs vs leaves, it it probably takes longer to collect the same amount of leaves as dung, so clearly dung is faster and more efficient ... but leaves smell better than dung ... alight or otherwise!

discuss...

So what you're saying is dung is PDK and leaves are manuals. So the future will have no use for dung, but someone might want leaves for the smell... and blitzed out of your mind vision quest certain leaves give you.

you could say that! I think what @Archimedes was trying to say is that neither dung nor leaves are useful or relevant when you have batteries to heat your cave with! ...

Yes, batteries that warp time and space in an 'I'm not even breaking a sweat' kinda way. When I listened really closely, I could hear the sound of ICE cars sliding into the proverbial tar pits. ICE cars are the dinosaurs, and the Taycan Turbo is the asteroid.

It was sooo pleasurable to drive. I've never walked away from a car saying 'holy ****' to myself. Until today.

The power and acceleration is there, but they still have a lot of work and technological advances to make before electric cars can have comparible weights and handling prowess.

I hope you remembered to angle the deflectors while you calculated the jump to lightspeed...

Did you ever drive a tesla for comparison? I'll probably never drive a taycan unless I get one as a loaner but am curious if it's a lot better than a Tesla (sure hope so).
