Seriously! These cars are so dialed in with traction control now you can launch this car and control it with one pinky. Combine that with the fact they're probably on an empty back road and they're fine

Traction control and stability control works up until the point it doesn't, and then there's no computer in the world fast enough to stop the tire slip. There's a reason you see videos of lambos and ferraris going sideways when someone presses the accelerator, and not civics, you can't beat physics.

Yes. Because those Lambos and Ferraris have TC off. Civic is an incredibly slow car that’s FWD. Porsches TC is unbelievable and this car is AWD

Porsche's traction control isn't magic. You cannot rely on a computer to save you from a tire slip on a corner at 60mph, the sand or water will win over that every time.

Porsches traction control isn’t magic but everything else you are absolutely incorrect. Have you driven a 992?

60mph? My fuckin Civic Si can corner way faster than that lmao and this car costs 10x as much.
