> the fastest ferrari timed around the course is slower than a whole slew of Porsches

I've driven quite a few Porsches and Ferraris, from 1970's models through modern ones and I'll almost always agree the Porsche is the better car. Usually faster, drives better, handles better, easier to work on, and easier to get parts for. But... it's usually the Ferrari that I want to take home. I've owned and enjoyed a few different Porsches, but my favorite car I've ever owned was a '95 Ferrari F355 Spider that would get its butt kicked by a Porsche 993 Turbo of the same era.

I've driven an F355 and owned a couple of 308s. The 981S made me lose interest in all of them. It has almost all of the positive qualities of both lines.

Only relatively speaking. My low-end two-seat Porsche has saved me three or four times its price in more expensive cars.

These days, automotive engineering is the art and science of using math to cope with regulation. Nobody does it like the Germans... legally or otherwise.

The Cayman is the best car I've ever driven from a handling perspective. But I ended up getting a 4 seater because of the kids.
