“He would have won Qatar” - mm that’s a bit of a stretch.....

Heh the combo of trip odo/reserve petcock never really bothered me, but I do like gas gauge/fuel trip odo (for those unaware, once reserve hit starts counting up).

Main reason being those moments where in city traffic the thing suddenly goes cough cough phsszzzzz and you get to think real fast, remember the petcock…

MotoGP Soap Opera Gets Real As Clickbait Speculative Headline Draws Suckers In

It is totally fucking click bait, and completely unacceptable journalistically-speaking, even for/by Gawker Media (sub)standards.

I used to ride a 250. No way unless on a freeway only. Completely incompetent rider/as others have observed appeared to not be really trying to get away.

+1000

If you ride and would ever even vaguely need this, you have no place riding anywhere ever. JHFC.

I know, I shared it to my Facebook as “COTD 2 and not just because I know from firsthand experience what a ‘usenet group’ is”

Unless you are talking about at lower speeds, in which case it’s probably the weight distribution being upset combined with blown suspension.

“Problem is, mine becomes a spin machine the second you get down to about half a tank of fuel. I need to figure out how to fix that,”

Just a guess, I’m thinking removal of the hatch kills the aero - Porsche surely did their homework what with the larger (than the original one on the 924) rubber spoiler etc. So the…

Heh, so they DID detune it. Was thinking that was just hokum...interesting.

Which I see someone else already observed. That said, I’d also be surprised if they really detuned it vs just saying that to placate those buying the 944....

And more aerodynamic.

Oh, I just noticed the above reply/the automatic...hmm well in that shape I’d be investigating swapping that.

Ooh la la I have a decent friend’s tooth....

These were rated as too big/boulevard cruiser-y compared to the 240Z in tests at the time, but a friend had one (the ungainly 2+2 no less) and that thing handled like a top. It was an awesome car, and I’d give a decent friend’s tooth to have one in say 8/10 condition now.

So where do I fall if I can’t read this longass article without the stupid animated ads distracting me?

Well, both. Seems most commenters on here don’t understand the concept of “prototype” and how that means “not necessarily meant for actual extended use, because it’s a PROTOTYPE.”

Given Porsche’s track record with innovative ideas that end up IN PRODUCTION being kind of crap, I’ll let you ponder what I think of the…

With the sun just above the horizon like that, I’m not surprised the car slowed way down either. Their claim that they could see sounds suspect; I wouldn’t ride or drive into that.

That said, depending on your helmet it can be worse than a car - if the sun is a little higher most helmets don’t have a sunshade like…
