Right on!

The day they crippled the Cayman in favor of evolving the dead-old 911 is the day that I gave up on Porsche.

Panamera is a joke. Cayenne is a joke. The 911s are old and have the engine in the wrong place and have been getting their heads handed to them in the place that Porsche should care about most, racing.

The only place where Porsche still does well in racing is the LMP2 class and the GT3 class (where they field most of the cars on the track given their customer racing program).

Writing is on the wall, change or die.

On the other hand, BMW needs to take racing much more seriously. F1 is nice and all but they need to have a customer program like Porsche's. Imagine buying a M3 GTR from BMW directly??? This will kill the 911 quicker than anything else.
