I will say though when you get into supercar territory then paddles and nannies are necessary to just keep the car on the track for most mortals. I remember when Walter Rohrl was finished testing the first 911 GT2 he said "You don't plan on selling these to the general public now do you?"

I saw Matt Farrah on Joe Rogan and he said something that made more sense than anything that I had previously heard,regarding dual clutch. He said that after a car has around 500 hp,then it becomes legit dangerous to take a hand off the wheel,and becomes pretty scary.
