More bush and better trim.

You want power windows, power brakes, and power steering though don't you?

Your logic makes sense to me, I just don't agree. I can see GS owners bring the most understanding of porsches because they are not only focused on hp. When I was younger I did not see the appeal of porsches. My logic was get a corvette and if you can afford more then go lambo or Ferrari depending on what you like. Now being 26 I can completely understand why people buy them. I have a C6 Z06 and not sure I'll ever get to the point that I would justify buying a GT3 or turbo s over a less expensive corvette. The classic looks, engineering and performance is impressive. I now question why buy a Maserati more than a 911. But i question why lots of people buy what they bought lol 😄
