This guy is acting like a little bitch,specially when the car went above 6k rpm.I mean wtf - it’s a porsche.I am constantly(daily) putting my 1.4 fiat stilo to 6.5k rpm.
Think of this. Porsche 911 996 was considered supersport. BMW M3 of that period (e46) was considered a sportscar. Engine displacement on the BMW was half a liter less, same ammount of cylinders, 35 hp more, cheaper. Which of them was the supercar then?
