I say the Porsche 911 992.2 is just stupid

Or just may be they are redefining their interpretation of what they think will be the future of a sports car.
But I am not selling out until I have no choice

This post is stupid. You do realize that Porsche had to do this correct? It's not like they woke up one morning and decided to throw a hybrid where it didn't need to go. Look at all the upcoming high performance cars from BMW, Mercedes etc and you will see they are all hybrids for the same reason.
Am I glad I have a 992.1....Yes I am, but this is the only way forward for these cars.

I don't get how a Turbo guy can call the new GTS stupid. They're both build with the same ethos. More weight, more power, more tech. Except the new GTS has a huge advantage in the fun department because it's still RWD

The new GTS is at 3516 pounds, only 65 more that the 992.1, How is that close to 4000 pounds? There is a 500 pound difference. Your Turbo is at 3,594 pounds which is 78 pounds more.
To put things into perspective for you, a typical refrigerator weighs between 200-300 pounds, so 500 pounds would be like the weight of approximately two refrigerators
FYI, The average truck weighs between 5,000 and 7000 pounds, unless you consider the compact a Hyundai Santa Cruz to be a real truck.

What is it called when you can read words that are jumbled?
Typoglycemia can refer to to the phenomenon in which words can be read despite being jumbled

If you're saying technology replacing old school car systems (manuals replaced by PDK for example) then you'd be best served to look at Ferrari who haven't built a manual since 2012 (13?) and they surely don't look like they're on the downslope of anything.

I'm thinking I will pass on this latest 'EHybrid' technology for now but I respect others who want the newest greatest thing. I'm sure it is blisteringly fast. Porsche makes great cars. I'll plan on enjoying these dinosaurs with their manual transmissions in the slow lane.
