 ElAurens was unaware that he was secretly being recorded. Now that the truth is revealed, perhaps he will tell us how he really feels  Last edited by baronWastelan; 10-05-2011 at 09:25 PM.

Sorry guys, I stand by my post.
I've done lots of track days in the past. In my job I drive lots of different newer and older exotics and sports cars. The 911 has morphed into a GT car, especially the portly water cooled versions. There is no getting around that. For my taste the only new Porsches that come close to the essence of what a sports car is are the Cayman S and the Boxter Spyder. Personally if I was going to own a 911 the only one I would consider is the RS America. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the newer 911s are bad cars, they are not, but I find them lacking in soul. I can say the same thing about the newer Aston Martins as well. Wonderful cars, but dull. On the flip side I had the '63 E-Type from the collection out on the road today and it made me feel like I was driving. Really driving. I could feel the rear end thinking about stepping out just a little as that wonderful 3.8 litre six oozed torque through the contact patches coming out of a tight right hander. Tiny correction in the steering and squeeze the go pedal a bit more, clip the apex, squirt out and select fourth... Ah... Glorious...   Me at work.

I doubt you could list 5 power-train and suspension differences between the RS America and a "'96 911", or how many of those components are interchangeable between the 2. Wonder if you're conflating "'96 911" with "996"?

The RS is a lot lighter. No AC or electric doo dads. And no computer nanny messing with the brakes or throttle either. Like I said, the 993 is not a bad car, but soul stirring it is not.

I don't seem to have a computer nanny on my 993 messing with my brakes or throttle. I have a cable connecting accelerator pedal to the throttle body on the engine, same as RS America (964). I have hydraulic brake master cylinder with ABS, same as 964 RS America. Electric power windows, same as .... [guess].
Tell us the differences between the two models in the M64 engine. For bonus points, list 2 or 3 features from the 993 engine that many 964 owners install. But, the 993 is newer, and therefore more "high tech", and therefore "watered down".

I didn't make this post this to argue with you.
I found the car boring, porky, and not to my liking. Certainly not as fun as the early cars. It's easily 500 pounds overweight, and has a lot of stuff that sports cars don't need. But then it's a GT car now, so what do I know. To each his own.
