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 :)
Visceral styling; Italians do it way better. Sound: my 996 sounded like a vacuum cleaner until I put Fister cans on it. Reliability: the Japanese brands rule this arena, even in their performance cars I think. (Mazda rotary engines aside.)
