My point was about vehicles losing their soul for accuracy. You claimed sports will still be fun based on the power levels we will achieve. You agreed to disagree.

4 years later, your feedback is coming from bikes. Which is great. I used to ride off road bikes in PR many moons ago. So I feel you but...

SPORTS CARS are amazing when done right.
We need a Alfa 4c performance clone in more sports cars, with the option of a manual. That shouldn't be hard.
Haha! It's not that at all. I've just decided that, for the money, I'd rather buy a bike! They are so much more economical. I paid $2000 for my first bike and have had more fun on it than any of my other cars combined. Next year I might spend $5-10k and buy another bike, and have even more fun.

I still love a "over-engineered" Porsche 911, I just don't give enough ***** to pay for one! It's a taste change, and proves nothing!

I view cars now less as tools for fun and more as just tools. I still like them and I still get enjoyment from them, but after discovering the two-wheeled world everything has changed. Driving a car, no matter how good, just doesn't even come close to the excitement of riding. It's visceral, man. You're so exposed to... everything.
