Porsche

Nobody buys a Porsche for the peak figure. They buy it for the way the throttle maps to the rear axle, and for a car that does the same thing on lap ten as it did on lap one. Turbo flat-sixes, the V6 and V8 SUVs and the naturally aspirated GT cars each need a different approach — and none of them can afford to lose that precision. We chase the gain that survives a hot lap.
