  1. Looks like Audi may have created their own "Mannetino" switch for the steering wheel.

  2. Ponygt 662 You can't base a car's performance of of hp figures. Do you realise how stupid that is?

  3. Ponygt 662 The Corvette, Audi R8 and Ford GT are not exotic, why does a car have to be exotic to compete with another of similar performance on a performance basis? You said it wouldn't be able to compete because it has "just 550 bhp" and compared it to the Turbo S and GT-R based purely off of their hp figures. Are you not aware the Turbo S and GT-R are two of the top ten fastest cars in the world?

  4. Ponygt 662 The Porsche has the character, heritage and materials. Regardless, when comparing cars from a performance standpoint brand image plays no factor. Do you really not find the NSX striking?

  5. Ponygt 662 Of course a Turbo S isn't made from the typical "supercar" recipe, what I'm asking is why that is relevant when comparing performance. Cars like the new GT3 with 475hp have been tested against the 600+hp Speciale and 650S by multiple magazines. At the end of the day when comparing performance it's not about what the hp figures say or whether or not the car can be classed as a supercar, it's simply about performance.

  6. Ponygt 662 The Turbo S and GT-R both do the quarter mile in under 11 secs, 0-186 times are also on par with these "supercars" you've listed. I don't understand how looks have anything to do with performance?

  7. 0-186 is definitely in the same ballpark. I still don't understand how looks have anything to do with performance?

  8. Ponygt 662 Again, its not about the category the car fits into or how it makes you feel but its performance.

  9. Ponygt 662 You still don't understand what I'm saying. I'm not trying to say the Porsche/GT-R are supercars, I'm trying to say their performance is on par with supercars.
