I think it is. The only other option would be the RS, and I have one of those and the spoiler here looks different.

As analogue as you can get on buttons with 1.5mm of travel...

They were pressure (or speed?) sensitive, not distance sensitive IIRC.

They supposedly had something like 256 different levels of input but no matter distance or pressure sensitive it wasn't exactly easy to be consistent with your button pressing in order for it to work much better than anything else.

poo poo the loving NES had buttons with as much control, you could make Mario jump various heights depending on how you pressed the A button but I don't remember then ever being marketed as analogue.

The NES is just on/off keyswitches, the pressure sensitivity that you see in Mario is based on the length of time you've pushed the button during the first few frames of the jump cycle.

Obviously if you push the button only a little soft, the time you push the button will not be very much and the jump will be short. If you push it hard, the button spends more time depressed before returning to neutral and the jump will be high. It's one of those little details that make the Mario games work compared to the generic-mascot-platformer games that clogged the platform afterward.

Counterpoint: It had a my little pony decal on the c pillar. (although all his Megane fwends were all Serious Racecar with their decals, so maybe he was taking the piss with them? Still, it had the unfortunate result of looking like a paedo wagon to passers by.)

WTF drugs is that guy on with a starting bid of one point two million dollars??!! You could nearly buy 3 actual Aventadors for that. I think he added an extra few too many zeros when he blacked out with his finger on the 0 key. Like, all of them.

It was, that's a GTO gauge cluster. Which makes the fake disk brakes even more baffling since the car came with 4 wheel disc brakes from the factory.

That was a really really good save. Obviously you shouldn't be driving that fast on public roads, but it looks like that car must have pulled out in front of him?

That's what the guy claims. He was hammering down the road and, supposedly, the car pulled out in front of him 50m ahead without looking. From his apparently speed I think it was probably more like 100m, but hey. ESC definitely saved his rear end on the swerve, though.
