2022 Performance Car of the Year

For those interested in the performance side, this is a good read. Bentley was included in this test. Another car in this group that captures my attention is the AMG. I purchased an AMG GT over a year ago and it has completely taken me by surprise. I have one foot each solidly in the Bentley camp and the AMG camp.

GT3ZZZ, how is the handling on the MY22 speed?

I imagine with the rear wheel steer and Porsche development, it must be leagues better than the prior gens, but some reviewers say it's amazing and 'toss-able' and some say you cannot escape the weight penalty so would love to hear a 1st hand account.

Also, being the internet, we love pictures!

Congrats, btw and the Speed is the sweet spot to me and fully deserves to be on that the PCOTY list as it seems to me to be a very special car. Still wearing a tuxedo, but packing a gun in the waistband, vs the SS which wears the same tux, but rips off the sleeves and wears a mohawk. That said, I love them all, but a brg/tan speed is my dream car.

Thanks BWings. I only have the patience to write a sentence or two at a time, so maybe I'll have to do a pamphlet of creative insults or something short like that, lol.

That'll never happen with this car. Blackwings will be expensive forever. Even modern CTSV cars have barely lost value from msrp.
