At my mechanics last night. Looked for Fatima but she wasn’t around.
Porsche, on the other hand, has always had this incredible knack of making cars that embody practicality alongside their often phenomenal performance attributes.
This one literally took me by surprise. Hardly had time to whip my phone, which explains the crappy photos. but I couldn’t help myself, you don’t just usually see a McLaren Senna driving down the street.
More Porsches please !! 😀
If the C6 had looked this good from the factory I wonder how many more they would have sold?
Maybe some of the differences are really subtle, but it looks a bit more like a Z06. I do like the roof treatment but it appears to do away with the targa top - I personally prefer it that way, but I suppose most Corvette coupe buyers like it?
My issue with the Corvette isn't the looks though, it's the understressed engine. I like to rev and shift more.
I know what you mean, high revving cars are more fun and rewarding to drive well. But when I drive a c7 or my Dad's 535d... the low end torque gets super addicting...
Diesels drive me mad. I am so used to high revving engines where the power goes on building until a little below the red line that a diesel always catches me out. My expectation goes all wrong when the grunt goes away long before it should.
Even worse is "speed limited" vehicles. A Hertz van had a "limited to 60mph" placard, fine, but it didn't say that it was done on engine speed not road speed. Overtaking in a low gear got the engine to cut out when I entirely did not expect. Nor appreciate it. Other rental companies had different approaches, wood blocks under the carpet to limit throttle travel was a standard for Avis UK, and a slack throttle cable for Willhire. Along with dangerously low tyre pressures (any of them).
Meh, my rant for tonight.
Edit: Nice to see that 904, the 904/6/8 series are my favourite Porsches and so rarely seen.

The c7 with mag ride is really a revelation to drive.
