Assetto Corsa: Porsche Pack II Review (JustGez)

Wow. The best DLC for Assetto Corsa (I own them all). There is so much variety in the handling of these cars, there will be something for everyone.
Quick one line opinions of each of the cars.
Off the scale amazing:
Porsche 962c long tail - My new all-time favourite car by some margin, in any sim (I play most of them) - really fast & massively fun to drive.
Amazing:
Porsche 718 Boxster S Manual Transmission - Not the quickest, but the handling is sublime making it really big on fun. If you like it sideways, this is heaven.
Porsche 919 Hybrid 2015 - Rocket ship. Staggering in how much you can push it before it actually lets go. If you have the concentration and reactions demanded from it (unlike me) you could probably swap this with the 962 as your off the scale amazing pick.
Great:
Porsche 962c short tail - I am faster in this than the long tail variant, and whilst it's still really, really good, for me it's just not quite as much fun to drive as the long tail.
Good:
Porsche 718 Boxster S PDK - Faster than the manual, but not as much tail happy super-go-fun-time.
Porsche 911 GT1 - Still great fun, but it's somewhere in between the 962c and the 919 Hybrid in terms of handling characteristics. It's not relly far enough away from eaiter to be memorible.
OK:
Porsche 911 GT3 RS - Quick, for a road car, but it just feels a bit....boring.
Porsche Cayman GT4 - Not really that much different from the other cayman's if you already have pack 1. Seems like it's just included for filler.
Meah:
Porsche 718 Spyder RS - The only one I am a little underwhelmed by. Of course I have never gone anywhere near the original, but it just seems like it's a little too much on rails for a car of this era.
