As for driving or being driven, being driven requires paying somebody, and the pre-COVID sizes of Lyft and Uber point to how very much people want to be driven. So I'll admit to being a fetishist for a while with the FRS. I did some track days. I enjoy driving the car hard. However, 90%+ of driving is just sitting in traffic. Then who cares about how engaging it is? Then driving is just a chore. I'd rather play Terraria at that point.

I wonder why Porsche won't come out with a proper final drive option. The ones on the aftermarket that I've seen are ridiculously expensive. it's like every gear is overdrive.

Regardless, your use of the word fetish really doesn't fit the definition in the way you are using it. You are trying to say that the preference for a manual transmission is some nostalgic fixation on an obsolete technology, but as I have argued, that would be like reducing everything from riding a horse or bicycle or motorcycle down to a single utility, while ignoring the experience they offer.

I'd still be happy just to have a GTS.

Honestly I'd rather have a regular GT4 than an RS. Because I want a manual transmission. But then you'd need to spend $10k+ to get proper gear ratios installed in the transmission, since it comes from the factory f*cked intentionally by Porsche.
