Motor Trend’s Senior Features Editor Jason Cammisa is known in the business as the guy who gives it to you straight without sugarcoating his words to please car makers or sponsors. So we’re glad he is the guy they sent to test the new Porsche 911 R. So far we have heard nothing but praise from this car, so much so that we’re hoping Jason would find some major drawback in it so that we can stop dreaming about it.
