And it's funny that you call the zr1 "docile." Every single review that the zr1 wins, the writers are always praising it for its harsh demeanor, saying they love the "beast," love tossing it around the corners, whereas the Porsche's, Audis, etc. are too docile and too easy. Now suddenly the Porsche becomes harsh (which by the way we don't even know of until somebody drives the car) and people are like "No, we like the docile." Funny  |
It wasn't just on the seats and carpet, there are other things too. Some of which was changed for the 125 US spec cars, like going back to glass for the window instead of polycarbonate or the addition of airbags. The goal from Porsche was to make it a street legal race car, just like every other Porsche RS I've heard about.
Did you not read or simply not understand what I wrote with regard to the 'dual nature' of the ZR1? I'll repeat it and clarify:
"The car can be completely docile when driving around, until you decide to stomp on it and it transforms into a beast"
It has a spilt personality, depending on how you drive it. Want to just drive it like a normal car? You can and it acts accordingly. Want to be aggressive? It becomes aggressive.
All the times when they're exclaiming the thrilling, beastly nature of the ZR1, they're driving it hard, usually on a closed course with an experience driver. But look up reviews where they talk about driving it on public roads and not taking corners at 60 mph.
