911 "Most complex super car?"

I would like to say that the 911 has to be, "The most Complex Car." Super car or not?

This is a car that a successful Attorney, Surgeon, or Doctor may use every day yet, I find that most that do own them, are somewhat afraid too drive them.

Whether they own the office that most work at or employee the successful group at large "above."

This car has a little diversity to it, especially when "GT2 or Turbo" are mentioned.

Now think Boxer. There is a slight difference.

Ferrari and Lamborghini would never fit this title. These cars are already emotionally complicated enough.

what makes it complex?

if we are taking about capable and everyday use, i think MP4-12C or GTR would qualify. both cars defy gravity and are comfortable and easy to drive daily

Type2 is infamous around these parts
A few months ago my turbo had a slight issue during under hard acceleration. (foot to the floor acceleration) The car would drive fine under normal circumstances unless I really got on it. Turned out it was a simple hose issue and an easy fix, but the service manager at my dealership who drove the car did mention that they rarely see these types of issues because most turbo owners in his experience don't "drive the car the way it's meant to be driven".

Not sure on this? Full throttle in ever moment would make the car normal? Not sure I could handle that type of driving, although, full throttle is very nice!

This is my point though, your dealership mentioned the very comment of this post.

Thank you for your help,

Drove a GTR but not a MP4. MP4 doesn't seam like a everyday street car but, I don't own one. It would seem to sit lower and not as economical as the 911.

I don't think afraid to drive the car is true. It is not practical for me to drive mine everyday, although I would if It was. Mine is a treat that I use for my enjoyment when I get time the time to drive it. I enjoy just looking at it in my garage. To say that because you don't drive it everyday because of fear is really funny.

Love to look at my car also. I manage a mid size business and think that showing off a car of this stature, would be distasteful to my hard working employees. I really care for each one of them like children and pay them well. I guess this is more of a personal thing.
