I agree for the most part. It’s a completely unique car created and polished to undermine physics at every turn.
And you only understand it when you drive it, then and only then, do you “get it”. The car has such a unique character, is so ridiculously easy to drive fast and feels like no other car.
The early '80’s nearly saw the demise of this car. I am so glad Porsche came to their senses and recommitted to it.
One of my ‘bucket list’ things to do is to drive every generation of 911 from '63.5 on up. I would really like to know what the early ones felt like.

Let’s play spot-the-Jew-lawyer’s-car-on-Sunday-at-work-parking-garage.
I am a Porsche addict. The above is my favorite, my 993S. 1998 911 with a mere 28,000 miles on it. Still smells new. It’s the last, and, IMO, the best Porsche, far better than the current 997. No electronic gizmos to save your ass, except anti-lock brakes. Drives like a 350hp go cart.
I’ve had a lot of different sports cars over the years. What I really like about 911s is they are still a real car. It seats four (albeit really need to be kids in the back). The trunk is usable. It has a fine AC and heater. I put a ski rack on top and make it to the ski lodge with no problems. Even the radio is OK, although I generally just listen to the engine.
I’ll post pictures of my 550, but I need to be a bit cautious, as it’s a publically-known car, and I like to post rude things here.

Nice car man. Gotta love the practicality of the Porche.
