Do you see the difference?

Did the A8 not fail to offer adequate cooling for the A8 transmission on the Z06? It seems to me both omitted adequate cooling and therefore, both offer the same warning. I’d venture to say that an adequate cooler would enable the A8 Z06 to safely lap without limitation, would you agree?

So, I disagree with your point. You CAN put a car against a track variant, and not have that HUGE amount of body issues. Just put the regular SS against a 1LE. As you said, the PP1 and regular SS are close in terms of lap times, but the regular SS does not have the handling and steering issues of the PP1.
If you are going to have a performance pack and add suspension bits to make the handling better, do a better job. It should have quick turn-in, precision, and feedback in the steering. It should not have too much unwanted body movements in the transitions. The PP1 checks NONE of these boxes. Anytime that you initiate a turn in a car, then have to adjust the steering back in the other direction because of the body flopping around, it is a fail.
Until I see a review of the PP1 to SS, I’m chalking up the motortrend review to a sensationalized affair. It’s possible I’m wrong, yes…but motortrend love to overstate their opinions on many fronts.
The regular SS (non-1LE) doesn't do that. The steering has instant turn-in, extreme precision, and good feedback. That is one of the reasons the 1LE is soooo good. It starts with a great performing car to begin with, and then adds to it to take it up a notch.

Yes, please do explain. If given a choice between a rose and a daisy, what would you choose? Both are flowers, does choosing a daisy make that particular flower more “girly”.
Again, it’s funny that some of you associate a women’s vehicle choice with a cars masculinity. It’s very telling.
