WHAT. THE. FUCK.
More like base Taycan and 911 S/T. The RS is auto-only and shit to drive on the street.

I said it's a valid point...not that I agree completely.

My wife feels exactly the same way. To her, the G80 M3 even with a manual feels like an absolute NPC car. I'm sure for many of you it's the most exciting car you've ever driven, but she gets zero driving enjoyment out of it. It's a dog-hauler and daily runabout that weighs almost 4000 lbs. She much prefers sub-3000 lb. NA cars with hydraulic steering and no touch screens. Bonus points if it has cable throttle. She felt the same about her Mac GT, but was even more bored of it because it had paddles.

The issue with that is the purist's experience simply no longer exists, so you have to take what's on the market.
