Because I didn’t have a GTS, I had an S. I wanted the color I wanted, the options I wanted, and this was a good deal when I got it. Today, for the mileage I had on the car at the time I got it, it would be considered a steal. Similarly optioned, a GTS is a premium of about $13k over an S. So then I modified it to suit *my* tastes. Not the tastes of the next buyer, not the tastes of some random person on the internet, not because I think I can recoup any kind of investment in it. And then I modified the brakes and the suspension, because I could, and because I wanted to. My car eats GT3 RSs for breakfast, much like @4 Point 0 ’s car does. And to make a GTS perform like my car, I’d still have to spend money to modify it, and it would still be more expensive than what I have spent
Why would I care about depreciation?. It’s not like I’m selling or refinancing a car to pull money out. I own an apartment building and I depreciate that to save money on my taxes. That’s the only depreciation I care about. Lmfao

You posted 1/4 mile times. I’m glad you are not denying that my grandma could gap you in a Tesla.
In my experience on track the driver is much more important than the car for the most part.
Saying you don’t care about depression is like me saying. I light a $100 bill on fire every morning because I was going to put it in my savings account and not spend it anyway.
Just because you have toy doesn’t mean you don’t care about residual value. I’m sure you know that since you own an apartment building.

Have a good night I’m about read to pass out from the case of Natty Ice I just consumed.

We took a P100D to the track. Sat and waited 20 minutes for it to prepare its Super Car crushing "Ludacris" mode, and finally it rolled up to the line.
The owner had been taunting everyone that he would be the winner and crush all. We even have a motoring journalist in the group, who brought his Lamborghini Performante"
Results. The Tesla lost........every single race, every single format, every single time. The very best it could do, was to keep level with the other cars for the first 60 feet. Then it was the Tesla that was getting massively gapped, by everything. They have no top end. Journo hype really should stop racing these things against your grandmothers car. They cannot compete against fast cars, at all.
Stock for Stock, a Tesla may shoot across the intersection to get in front of you when you weren't paying attention and just cruising. Big deal. Does not mean I would want one. I have raced them at the track and they have Nothing of interest. Where I am from, boasting you can beat a stock car from the lights is nothing to boast about.

I'll deny it. We have a number of Dr's in our track group that have multiple super cars and drive a Tesla to work to appease the Climate Clowns.

What good is a Plaid if it blows its load on the first lap and then sits in the pit for the rest of the day
But hey at least it will win the traffic light Gran Prix

I bought a Tesla Model Y Performance last September and the car has impressive acceleration and decent handling until you hit any bumps. It gets unsettled in bumpy turns pretty quick and is absolutely not even close to my 991.2 C2s in the handling department. To be expected for sure. The Tesla is great for around town trips and I charge it in the garage at night so "tank" is full in the morning. In many ways the Model Y is a very good appliance and for boring driving around town it is perfect. Sometimes I feel like getting a "Frigidaire" sticker to put on the back of the car
So far I have no desire to get a Taycan or Tesla Plaid anything. If I want fun and fast the 911 fits the bill more than those cars ever would. The new Tesla roadster might be interesting when and if it ever comes out, but it can only do so much in terms of power and weight with today's battery tech. Evolving field though so waiting for some big surprises at some point.....hopefully before I am dead

let’s just hope he buys the $20k brake upgrade with that Plaid too. Heard they have trouble with stopping (and pretty much everything else on the track) lol
