Plenty of cars can do that. Plenty of honda civics can blow that car away in a drag race without breaking a sweat. I hope this hasn't become the de facto measure of a sportscar in the 21st century - but threads like this don't bode well.
Since when is mashing the go pedal in a straight line and holding on to the wheel, fun? I mean the car is literally doing EVERYTHING for you. You could put a 16 year old girl in that car and it would do exactly the same thing. Between the electronics, transmission, 4wd, etc, the driver has become the equivalent of George Jetson pushing a generic red button. Not what I would call driver involvement. Which in my opinion is the true measure of the "sport" in "sportscar."

The more removed the driver becomes from the subtleties of driving, the less interesting it will be to drive a car - or to watch a race.

You think the 997.1 folks are bummed about not waiting for the 997.2? Then again you have to eventually buy-in. No matter what you do Porsche is going to improve their product.
I just wonder how long it will be before the 911TT achieves complete parity with the Bugatti below 200mph?

And once you do achieve those numbers with the honda it still won't hang with a TT on a race track! Maybe on the strip but not the track.
