Default Porsche passes a note to Honda - in a GT3
To provide some good-natured gentle ribbing, Porsche had a note written under the engine cover. It said "Good luck Honda from Porsche. See you on the other side."

Ahhh. So the "P-snob" stereotype of Porsche arrogance isn't just a stereotype. Noted.

As an owner of cars from both companies, I thought it was pretty funny.

Yeah, it's always great to see a little healthy competition and banter between some companies. IMO, it's great to see Porsche acknowledge Honda on this.

Speaking of GT3...can't wait to see this baby take some laps over the weekend.

I see neither snobbery nor arrogance in that note. Instead, I see acknowledgement of a shared passion.

This. I thought it was funny as hell. Great sportsmanship from both sides.

At the end of the day, the world needs more fun cars, and people to make them.
