Why my Porsche-loving husband doesn't drive a supercar - what I learned from owning a McLaren 650S
Published Date: 07.10.2018
My husband does not want a supercar.
My husband is.I love Porsche, but as far as supercars go, I don't want one that badly.Yes, it is. I asked him a few questions as to why.
My husband has been a car enthusiast since he was a child. They're so cool!" at the time.Well, it's cool, but I'm not as cool as everyone says I am."He thought it was a good idea.
However, the Ferrari'sF355, 360 Modena, F430, F40He thought the F40 was cool, especially the F40, and he had read a story in the manga "Kochikame" about a rich colleague, Officer Nakagawa, who bought an F40, to the point that he was bored out of his skull (laughs).
That said, Porsche isI'm definitely buying one when I grow up!"But for other supercars, I did not have a strong desire to buy one in the future.
Why is a supercar not a goal to buy?
She said there are three main reasons why her husband doesn't want a supercar that badly.
(1) Difficult to use on a daily basis
Supercars are difficult to use on a daily basis in any way.The car's low height makes it impossible to go to a convenience store or to go out for a casual meal because it almost slips on the slightest bump. Especially with a gull wing, you need a large parking space, and the loud engine noise is quite noticeable in town. Porsche, on the other handIt's good because you can enjoy it anytime, whether at the track, touring, or in everyday life.He said.
2) Cannot go on long touring trips.
My husband goes on a long touring trip of about 1,500 km each time he goes on a long vacation.The car will be driven a long distance on the highway, and once it arrives at the site, it will be driven further on a winding road.He said that such usage is not possible in a supercar because it is tiring and something to be concerned about.
(3) Dislike the act of altering
It's a super car, but some people modify the muffler to make it louder or lower the ride height.An act that shows no respect for the manufacturer's engineers."That's why he doesn't like them very much. Since supercars are quite expensive cars, they naturally use good parts, and he does not like to modify a car that has been developed, tested, and perfected by the engineers and developers of the manufacturer, using all the technology and know-how they have, just to make it sound flashy or look good.
Always.
People who get into a supercar and immediately start modifying it have an external axis of evaluation, don't they? They want to look cool or show off rather than enjoy the car itself, don't they? I don't have those values.

He is just the opposite pattern.
I have driven four Ferraris and one Lamborghini, but I have never bought a Porsche.
as a reason
I'm not thrilled with the appearance of the Porsche.
Riding pleasure is less than Ferrari Lambo
I don't care much about things like going fast on the track.
The 911 is practically a two-seater as well.
I don't feel that everyday use is stressful just because it is a Ferrari Lambo. Usually shopping is no problem, the bumps are a concern.
etc., etc.
I guess it is a preference after all, and I am by no means disrespecting Porsche.
idiotic
Thank you for your comment!
Indeed, I guess it is a matter of taste after all.
I can drive a car that I am comfortable with and that I like.
I thought it would be best.
After reading the article here, and I think it was mentioned in other articles, I don't think you should buy the GT3RS as a replacement for the GT3.
Maybe it is the same feeling with McLaren.
The noise of the transmission is so loud that you might think you are riding a tractor in the rice paddies, especially when you start out cold.
It is a pain when running under 2500 rpm in the city.
The suspension is also hard, and I sometimes wondered if I would get whiplash from the bumps.
However, the high-pitched muffler sound is numbing once you bring it to the track.
But if that is the number 1 TP3T of our ride, we may be happier with the GT3.
I just don't know what kind of car the 992-based GT3RS will be, though.

I see... The suspension seems to be very stiff...and it looks like it will be very difficult on the way to the circuit...
But to be able to drive a GT3RS on the track would be so sweet!
I hope to have the opportunity to ride in the passenger seat at a race track someday.
Thank you for your continued support!
