How should Porsche deal with this car that keeps killing it's driver when you step away from the gas?
It's kind of shitty for these companies that build these cars with very expensive bleeding edge components and manufacturing and then lose money because nobody buys them because it is 15 years too early for Boomers to use them as a money making strategy. Imagine being Porsche giving a MSRP of 448k to the Carrera GT and then 20 years later the same car comes for some servicing but now the car is worth 1.8 million dollars. Just giving some context for you to take into consideration before coming up with a solution to the Carrera GT problem.

Carrera GT is not meant to be a grocery shopping car to be driven at under 60mph. It is meant to be a track weapon driven at the limit of physics.

I translated this post:

I don't either. Every halo car is a calculated loss. And every meme classic becomes unreasonably expensive and over hyped after 15 years, not that anybody buys for those prices anyway. Look at the original NSX for example

Why is it when europeans build shitty handling cars its "bad ass" but when americans do it its just not being able to turn?

so because it's been 20 years it suddenly not Porsche problem?

On Porsche's defense, they built Carrera GT at the specifications of their customers. Americans just build trash cars.
>>
>>27601999
so their customers wanted a trash car?

>>27602005
Well no. They wanted a "badass car" as you put it. No safety = bad ass. Boomer mentality. The problem is they sell these death machines to unsuspecting people.

shit handling is a form of no safety, and trash vehicle design.

this goes back to my original question.

>>
>>27602011
The car just loses grip when you step off the gas like the og Porsche 911 Turbo but this time Porsche was asked to built the car this way. The problem is people are selling Carrera GT's to people who don't know any better. Look at these seasoned Nurburgring amateur driver scared shitless after being in a Carrera GT with new tires from two weeks ago. He says he doesn't want to do it again as in he doesn't want to be in a Carrera GT ever again.

>The car just loses grip
mustangs do this too. and people say its because they don't handle well. if your car is so unstable that it scares you its probably not a very good handling vehicle.

but again, this is somehow laudable because the car is expensive and european and has a spoopy lore around it.
>>
>>27602011
I always thought it was a bit funny when motoring journalists had to drive behind a pace car on a wide track when they got to “test drive” it in 2003 and they weren’t allowed to floor it. But Porsche knew what they had built.

This is what I'm talking about. Bus riders utterly mystified by a high hp car losing grip in its drive wheels. Like handling fundamentals are a mystery to them they misread as something else.


It happens in LITERALLY every performance car you can think of
>>
>>27602135
You better believe we are working as hard as possible to ensure /o/ still likes a limited-run supercar that we produced 20 years ago
>>
>>27602161
so the problem with the Carrera GT is downforce? Could Porsche fix the car going haywire with more downforce? Did you just solved the Carrera Gt problem?
>>

>losing grip and crashing is just handling fundamental bro!
can you remember how many times lewis hamilton's F1 car just lost grip and he did an epic drift around Spa? how many nascar style pileups does F1 have from cars just losing grip?

why are these handling characteristics that have been so long associated with trash vehicle design on muscle cars suddenly a feature?
>>
>>27602165
>limited-run supercar that we produced 20 years ago
You aren't boomer multi-millionaires. Porsche never intended you shills to own them and yet here you are still simping for them. They'd kick your smelly poorfag ass out of the dealership the moment they caught sight of one of your kind in their showroom. Make no mistake, you aren't their target clientele. They'd sooner torch a Porsche than have to experience embarrassment from the public seeing one of you subhumans in their car degrading their precious brand image.

Yurocucks loooove doing this. You watch F1 religiously yet will never drive one. Americhads watch stock car racing and can afford to buy and do drive those cars.

Your stupidity is beyond comprehension.

You might as well be asking why the car goes into a wall when you steer it into the wall if its a good car
>>
File deleted.
>>27602174
It's transmission and downforce. You can't fix it without a bunch of ugly wings and to drive it faster than it can normally go in turns. It's not designed to race.

You need to go so very fast for a behemoth like that to get downforce, and it would never get there before it falls off the road.
>>
>>27602217
your steering false equivalency implies that this shit handling is the driver's fault. if its "just losing grip" then its clearly the car's problem. not all powerful cars make you feel "scared" to be in them. just the highly unstable shitboxes, do.

pic related. a well engineered powerful vehicle from Japan.
>>
>>27602041
Why do Porsche still makes these cars use 20 year old compound technology? A newer compound could potentially fix the car.

And it begs the question: Why not test drive and buy the pace car then instead if Porsche already knew that’s what a random petrolhead actually could handle on a track?

If EVs are so good why they have to be government mandated?

VAG and by proxy Porsche is government mandated by the german government. its no wonder the Carrera GT handles so shitty. it might as well be built by the UAW.

Never heard of any Ford GT losing grip and crashing

Nürburgring lap times:
Porsche Carrera GT 7:28.71

Honda NSX (Mk II) 7:36.00

The 20 year old "bad handling" (lol) prime supercar from Porsche outhandles your "good handling" example


I don't know how much more I can high light how you literally don't know shit about cars or car handling. You are incredibly stupid.
>>
>>27602227
The NSX is made in the US, just like the Type R is made in UK. Japan makes jack.
>>27602254
That's because it's better at straights, just like the NSX I and the Tesstarossa.

>car that keeps killing it's driver when you step away from the gas
That's a feature, not a bug. Vehicles with knife edge handling require the utmost respect or the ride will teach you what respect means. Any amount of focus taken away from the driving experience itself, will kill you and that's in itself is what a true track weapon was before the days of electronic driving safeties. Not everyone could handle the level of responsibility and maturity it requires to pilot a freakin race car on the street and to be fair, I think computerized driving aids to reduce the skill ceiling allowing normies to drive a race car on public roads is wrong. It's becoming too easy for normies to buy 2+ ton cars that can 0-60 in 2-3 seconds, it's absurd.
