And actually, you did make it about track day, I'll explain. I replied to your initial comment in which you mentioned a Model Y vs 911 on track.



You then replied with another comment with the Model Y vs 911 on track linking top gear after I made a simple joke of having stop reading your post.




Germanauto then replied and I changed the topic to not caring about 0-60 times, in which you mentioned the track test despite me then talking about the GLA and preferring handling over 0-60.



I then replied to why I bought a Z4 being the handling and engagement factors trump lower 0-60 times for me and that I take it to a track to have fun with the engine, gearbox, feedback and engagement, which an EV would not provide on track.

And then you say despite only one post earlier saying Quite a turn around.
Sure why not?

Well you required clarification of my "hook", so I did by providing the link to support my argument that Tesla Model Y had indeed beat 911's track time. But I guess from your point of view, it must seem like I'm only talking about track time as I seems to be presenting evidence contradicting your arguments. It's not, I'm simply presenting evidence defending my hook, which you in turn wrote off implying 977 is not a capable car:

First let's dissect this statement. "10+ year old car"? No, it's a generation of Porche that was into production until 2012.

Second, is it capable? People lauded this generation of 911 as possibly the best generation and did remarkable time on Nurburgring. So it's definitely capable as a competitor as it will destroy most modern cars on the track.

Then I went to reply to other members who actually read my post and replied to them regarding SUV vs Sedans as you seems to faded into background.... until you came back hating on GLA45.

So no, I'm not talking about track day car, simply defending and providing evidence to my statements like a good poster would.
