- agreed, very stiff

seats ?
I have always found the GT2 / GT3 seats extremely good, even over distance

RWD
- the 90/10 variable viscous coupling isn't the best system in the wet anyway.
...not unless 11th Hr saves appeal to you.
drive something with a bias closer to 50/50, you will see what I mean.

530Hp TT as a daily driver
- I tend to agree that this would be a great idea, but your noise & rough ride concerns will be just as vaild for the TT then...

928 GTS as a daily driver
AGREED
I know that loud exhaust is fun or ever more fun but i once was riding with my friend in a car with extremely loud exhaust for 26 hours and my head was going to explode... You know if we were driving normally like accelerating etc i love the sound , but there was horrible traffic jam , actually we made 500 km in those 26h... ... and yeah i know that porsche's AWD isn't that good for rain/snow but yet it's still better than RWD , btw isn't it 95 rear / 5 front? I think that regular carrera 4s are like that , for the turbo i didn't care enough to check , but if it starts to slip then it can be like 60 front / 40 rear or so.... Yeah i know what you mean , i drive an audi S8 daily and it's 50/50 and in snow it's amazing , i turn of the electronics , mash the gas and it doesn't lose traction at all... in carrera 4s it wasn't so good , i have never had any 4WD turbo but it's probably even worse due to more power. I have one turbo now , but it's RWD and i would NEVER drive it below 10 celcius , and i only drive it when it's sunny and dry , and still have problems to keep it on the track sometimes :finger: .... Oh man the sun's shining , it's like 12 grades i gotta go do some driving...
