If you think the turbo is "boring and useless," why are you wasting time in this forum?
And, I'm happy to debate you anytime or place on the positive/negative merits of the Porsche Turbo/Turbo S. I did say arguably in my post
I think, for my needs, the Turbo S is amazing. Those short bursts of speed make me smile, and the AWD will make me smile when fall/winter rolls around here in the NE, and the dynamic cornering lights were great last night when I saw the deer jumping into the road ahead. The PCCB's, I think they are insane - not that my other P car's or F car's didnt stop on a dime, but this car is just solid and abruptly stops! The center lock wheels, to me, this car rides and provides the best road feedback I've ever experienced. I think the car handles great, but I'm just a regular guy who likes solid engineering and nice cars.
Also, I hate stick shift at this point. I just do. I dont want to sit in NY/NJ traffic pressing pedals and shifting gears. I also like to play with my ipod, drink my morning coffee and give the finger to assholes on the road - much harder to do all that with a stick shift :-)
I will admit, PDK takes a bit of getting used to - the "Standard" mode for the car is a little dull. It shifts slowly. Sport mode, its awesome. It really is. I was on an important call yesterday and decided to take it off bluetooth, so I was holding the phone (i know, bad boy), and I put the car back into auto mode - and it was great to drive like that. The car anticipated my shifts and really was fun. I love this car, and I stand by my statement that arguably, this is the best car made.

lol this post made me laugh. Opinions are like @$$holes, everyone has one and they all stink. Next time, figure out who it is posting before spewing off.

My question is simple. Why own a 500hp plus 6500rpm car to sit in traffic in? The 100 yard bursts you enjoy aren't much different than spending time flipping through Playboy's in the bathroom. Useless and lonely.
Porsche makes a fantastic product. I own 6. I love them. I will defend them to the end. The Turbo would be the last of their products I'd buy. I've stated this several times.
Porsche's to me should corner and make you feel every crevise in the road. I don't want a grocery getting car that won't allow the ice cream to melt. You don't like to shift and you sit in traffic daily. Buy a Bentley. That's what they are made for but don't preach it's the best knowing that every time the Turbo Spoils you need to find a quick shift to get on with your accelaration. Build me a turbo that rev's to 8500 or 9500 RPM's so you have some torque that is manageable thru a turn and you will sell me on the Turbo......And yes I owned a Turbo S Cab years ago. It was a rocket. Dick swinging straightline speed like you can't imagine.
The wife told me I've got a big dick so I sold it and bought a GT3
