Yes, and johnny saturday driver stands a snowballs chance of hell of being able to pilot a 650hp rwd factory car properly around any track. Then he wants to show off, turns off all the nannies and ends up in a pole.
When technology stops just hitting brakes, and rather uses power to work WITH you not against you, it's really not a nanny anymore, it's advancement.
There are certain intangibles that will always make one car appeal to one person vs another. I'm not hating on that fact, but saying a car is "soul-less" because it excels at everything out of the box is an inane statement to make.
As this is america, not russia, we don't all have to drive the government's prescribed car. Everyone gets to buy what they want. Look at the new 911 Turbo S. 10's out of the box on factory tires with the A/C & Heated seats on. Saying a 911 has "no soul" would be a sinister act. But surely, somebody somewhere has got some slicks on, trying to bang out a solid 11 sec pass with his car full of "soul". Just don't get pissed when Mr. soul-less trolls you in his stock car full of computers by just putting his foot down.
