the mega power gt2 just compensates on the straights, but his lines, and braking are butchered everywhere.
i absolutely LOVE the linearity of that 993 rsr. the car is just SO on-point.
USABLE POWER!

I hear about the storming going on down here.
Old joke (back when hurricanes had female names).
How are a women and huricanes the same?
When they arrive they are wet and wild.
When they leave they take your house and car.

Most couldn't use 500 hp in the 4.0, or the 450 in the 3.8 RS or the 435 in the .2 or the 415 in the .1 or the 385 in the 996 GT3. Most of car makers battle is virtual, not reality, win a magazine test or comparison and you won. We are well past regularly usable hp levels. Those are a thing of the past. These days competition is digital and perceived.
north america will not be a big market for anything much longer. have you seen the growth of china? and chinese wealth likes heavy, BIG, loaded with gizmo machines that's bling looking. avg speed is 2mph in town. so speed is pointless, but ability to have fun inside the car is major selling point.
