Think about if all these bolts, studs and other parts of the car were made from high strength steel. Think about how much more the car would weight. Do you know the weight of a basic Porsche Cayman?  |
Roughly 150lbs more than a BRZ Limited.
With build quality that is an order of Magnitude higher, much higher quality materials etc.
Go look up the video of Bill Caswell doing 50 straight, launch control starts in a 911 Turbo and the car never overheating, going into limp mode, etc. Try this in a GTR and watch the transmission puke on the ground after the 4-5th time straight you do it. You simply can't compare the build quality of Porsche to basically anything else.
They constantly rank number #1 in initial quality, quality of replacement parts, etc.
Sorry, it was 61 straight launches.
