The small stuff...like actually reading the article.
I'm sure the R&T editors can empathize with those Porsche nuts. Thus, the reason why they spec'ed the Turbo with the manual. Objective performance was a major consideration, yes, but not the deciding factor. They were looking for involvement and voila...result. Which is a different result from the UK tests that involve the GT-R vs PDK Turbo.

I'm not so sure the Porsche is a *PROPER* sports car. FE/RD is proper (maybe even ME/RD).

Yes... But it'll also allow those who have taken the time to learn to push the car farther and faster...
What's so bad about that.
Win win situation in my book...

Don't mind me too much, I'm just trying to stir up a little trouble. I love the turbo, any generation.
