It suffered HUGE weight gains from the outgoing model and that's the best comparison, nevermind comparing to the Boxster/Cayman where it also fails performance-wise.

It's a great GT and all-rounder but could've been A LOT better, that's all I'm saying.
Tranquility, I agree out the box the car could have been much better. My apologies for the misunderstanding. I know you love the e89 the same as I.

Thankfully we have these forums to share ideas , experience, and innovations. I'm grateful for the few members that really changed the game in regards to what can be done.

This right here, modifying cars, is my hobby. When I'm done I would love to give fellow members a test drive to see get their input, and also show them what can be done.

I just hate to hear a "lost cause" attitude. I'm sorry if I perceived you comment the wrong way...
