I want to ask the hardcore Porsche guys here a question:
Porsche and 911 in particular are considered the pinnacle of automotive engineering excellence. But is there something you miss from other cars you have owned or driven? Is there a car brand that does something a little better? For e.g. steering feel of a Lotus or transmission shifts of a Ferrari or something like that?
I will leave out the obvious: I know Porsche is not known for luxury of a Rolls Royce/Bentley… So :)
Value: Chevrolet Corvette Z06. 90 percent the car of a GT3 RS for 60 percent of the price.
Driving dynamics: Lotus’ entire gas-powered lineup. Colin Chapman’s mantra of “simplify, then add lightness” continues to work wonders. If given the choice between a Boxster GTS and a supercharged Emira, I’m taking the Emira.
Those are really the only two places where Porsche is beaten.
Not sure about simplicity, but Emira is the same weight as Cayman if not more.
