As I said, the 911 R is nothing impressive.
The only reason this thing is getting media attention is because it's made by Porsche and it's their new lineup.
If 3rd party tuner were to mod a 911 GT3 and make it exact same spec, same weight, color, power, everything....nobody would've given 2 shits about it. Why? Because it's nothing impressive.
It also does not live up to "pure" hype.
I'm sure we can all agree that "pure" 911 has already been built by 911 enthusiast.
