Typical Porsche mentality, you think you drive the best of what's around

Diesel engines have been kicking all kinds of ar$e and winning in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, I wouldn't go there in terms of endurance.. As for the brakes, I have upgraded performance brakes installed on mine, I'm sure it would cope just fine.. mine's not a rear wheel drive, but you appreciate that on a long track day you don't necessarily need that..

Porsche drivers are no different than other petrolheads, the delusional aspect is that they really think they drive the best cars in the world. Truth is that there are better performing, better looking and above all cheaper cars on the market, so get over it, Porsche is overrated.

So yes, I reckon my car would cope just fine on a track day, and in the end you'd still be driving a butt ugly car
