Hey guys, let's reserve the Nick bashing for Roadfly - 6Speed (and all of us) are above that.

If you only drive on city streets and freeways the MPS2's deficiencies will never be apparent. The problem is available sizes; there are plenty of better tires than the MPS2s if handling is more important than comfort... Corsa-System, Bridgestone PP S02-A, MPS1...etc

Many people have lost respect for what can happen in a car very quickly without these driving aids. It wouldn't be much different if they stopped putting traction control in 997's and F430's suddenly.
I guess what I am getting at is blame the drivers and not the cars.

That being said- That orange CGT up there might be the nicest car I have ever seen. I'm not sure yet. But it might be. KOBE 4 MVP!

What were you trying to say?

Just last night, TC saved my life. I had some Sake and felt like racing my friend. To this minute I don't know how I survived. I was not drunk. I was plainly driving way too fast for anybodys good. No TC and my butt would have been all over 6speed. Granted, Im not an expert driver by any means. But even professional drivers crash their cars regularly. Put the egos aside IMO.

your 997 would have psm and a cgt has tc.
mike's cgt is signal yellow.
which does look a bit like speed yellow with an orange tint
