We've reached a point where cars are outrageously fast, and making them faster is easier than ever. What matters is how the car feels to handle and drive.
builders, comparatively small tuners are also building this stuff. Going fast is easy nowadays and getting easier. So what will distinguish the greats from the wannabes? It's all about how a car feels.
This may seem obvious."Of course it matters that a car should have good steering feel and a playful chassis!" you say."Why are you being paid for this stuff?" But a lot of automakers have missed the memo. This past week I spent some time in, and it's a perfect example of prioritizing performance over experience. It boggles my mind how a company can create such dead and disconnected steering; the weight never changes, there's no feel whatsoever.
I also happened to drive something of comparable performance that was much more enjoyable: a Mercedes-AMG GT. It was a basic model with the Stealth Edition blackout package, and even though it had a twin-turbo V8 instead of a six-cylinder, it only made 20 more horsepower. The power wasn't the big differentiator, it was the feel. While not the best example, the steering builds resistance as you dial in lock, giving you a better idea of what's happening up front.

Feeling Ambivalent About Your Boss Hurts Your Performance Even More Than Disliking ThemWhen people have a good relationship with their leaders, they’re more motivated, they perform better, and they’re more likely to go the extra mile. When people don’t get along with their leaders, they tend to retaliate against them and the organization. But what about when people feel ambivalent or conflicted about their leaders? Researchers surveyed 952 workers and students to explore the effects of having an ambivalent relationship with one’s leader. Across three studies, they found that employees who rated their relationship with their leader as highly ambivalent performed worse in their jobs (as rated by their leader) than those who rated the relationship as low in ambivalence. This effect held even when employees rated their relationship as positive overall.
