No people WANT faster cars (because of previously mentioned dick measuring) and automakers are more than willing charge you for something whether or not you use it. They even go as far as adjusting gearing to minimize the number of shifts required to make it to 60 just so they can advertise lower times.

What revolution? You tesla fanbois need to lay off solder smoke for a while...

Not exactly today. For a young-ish person within the decade or two would do. And we might be able to put together a gravitational telescope using the Sun as a lens before then, which would allow us to get pretty close look without even sending the probes.

They’re basing this purely on 0-60. In the 1/4mi the Tesla is starting to fade. By the time it hits a mile, most high performance V-8's and TT v-6s have long passed. Still impressive!

It’s really not about how “fast” a car is (fast being a measure of top speed) - but rather about how “quick” it is (referring to acceleration). Though I live in Germany, I’ve never even topped out any of my fast cars (997 and F-Type R) on the Autobahn - it’s just terrifying and not a lot of fun. What is much more…

It only felt faster than you expected it to be, in reality it’s not very quick. It’s one of the slowest BMW’s sold both 0-30 and 0-60. It’s just so easy, no modulating the throttle, no waiting for revs, just instant power delivery. But put a competent driver in any decent modern car and they’ll beat the i3 no problem.

Funny story. My experience was the polar opposite. I owned a 997 before and had so many problems with my local dealers that they drove me to buying an F-Type R, instead of a 991, something I vowed I would never do. Should mention though, that I live in Germany. I guess PCNA is superior after all.

It’s great that they’re offering the V6S with a manual, it’s just too slow for me coming from a 997. If you’re not used to fastish cars (and don’t have the Autobahn to blast on as I do), it will be great though.

Resale values on F-Types are pretty good actually, certainly not worse than other cars in this class. It’s not like a 911 is depreciation proof, it’ll lose just the same amount of money in a similar amount of time, as long as we’re talking 991s. 997s are great regarding depreciation, not so great in other aspects.…

I don’t know, man. On a small car like the Toyobaru, sure. On the 911? No, thanks, I’d rather keep my grippy big ass tires. The two things I miss going from a 997 to an F-Type R - stick and grip ;)
