Driver involvement — it’s what distinguishes cars we lust after from cars that merely have impressive performance specifications. It’s what makes a Porsche Boxster so much better to drive than the quicker Corvette convertible. It’s also what gives us job security, since there’s no reliable way — other than getting behind the wheel — to predict if a new model possesses this car/driver relationship.
A high-revving naturally aspirated engine often indicates that a car’s engineers have made driver involvement a priority. Working to keep the engine screaming high in the rpm range — and being drawn into the wailing soundtrack — is almost always more rewarding than standing on the gas of a mega-torque turbo.
This thought kept bouncing around in our heads while wringing out the latest and highest-revving version of the 997 Porsche 911 — the GT3.
