The 911/Evora Road & Track Video, Guest Appearances By Yours Truly
This is the last time I'll talk about the R&T 911/Evora test, I promise. The video has been released and I have a Spotter's Guide To Jack Baruth for those of you who care.
Anywhere you see a black helmet, that's me, such as at 1:36. I'm also tossing the 911 a bit sideways on a public road at 1:40. I'm also tossing the Evora around at 2:07.
This video got thumbs-down from the viewers by a 2:1 margin, mostly because we (meaning I) picked the Evora over the 911 despite the 911's numerical superiority. While I've been on that side of a debate before more times than I can count, it's a shame I can't give every single car guy in the world the chance to experience what I experienced when I tested the two cars.
Really, if you think about it, that's my job as a writer: to make you understand why I'm doing what I'm doing, and help you experience what I experienced. So if R&T readers didn't agree, that's partially my fault. I'll do better next time.
