The more I look at the pictures the more I find myself defining a sports car based on how it looks.

BINGO! Which is why ring times, 0-60 times, etc don't really matter to me. If they did I would own a 992 Turbo (a fast boring car)
Engineers are great at solving problems like "make the car faster".
Problems like "make the car feel like this" are more difficult. And sometimes they are conflicting problems.
