Comparing a Porsche to a Maserati is like equating a helicopter to a jet fighter - different leagues !

yeah. porsche IS the shit on tracks. but i dont like the sound of a 997 turbo. 996t is better. but the gransport is a league for itself. i like both

Slow in, fast out, that's the Porsche motto. Personally I want a car I can drive hard all the way through a corner.

Out of videogames, you won't find a car like that. The laws of physics prohibit it. You can try fast in, spin out; that's the drifter's motto but it ain't fast!

I was not referring to a video game. My point is a matter of weight distribution. Certain engine drive train layouts are better in a corner than others. So yes I was talking about physics. The Porsche's devotion to the rear engine rear wheel drive concept makes them difficult to control compared to other power train layouts. This is of course a generalization. The Viper needs about as much wing to be stable in the corners, then again the Viper has less tech to help it.

because the stig would lose and topgear cant let that happen. or show it. and i dont think maserati would like its test-drivers being represented as worse than the stig even though they wouldnt be (atleast in their own cars which theyve been driving since day one)

The only manual part of shifting this car is the action of pulling the paddle back. The computer Richard was talking about engages and disengages the clutch.
