Is it weird I like driving it a lot more than modern 911's?

[luciddaydream]

I have had a 997,991, and a tuned 992.1 GTS.

The 992.1 GTS is a complete beast when its going over 120 or so.

But at slow speeds, I hate to say it.. but.. it is.. boring.

Honestly, I dont really get the hype on why enthusiasts love modern 911s.

I LOVE that brand it will always be near and dear to my heart.

But, god, get an Emira, do third-cat delete, eventuri, and rip that f*cker on a fall day with the windows down and theres nothin' like it (as far as I've experienced at least).

Its an epic emotional experience I have not had with a car before.

Maybe a GT3 would be slick, but, everything is so big..

I also had past amazing experiences with my beloved 1995 -993 coupe and then with my 1998 -993 C2S.
I agree the new Porsches are well defined but the Emira much more fun to drive I find.
My new Dark Verdant , 6speed , V6 with tan interior Emira is now on the water traveling to Canada for mid April delivery and I can't wait !

Another very unique purchase I just made is for the highly collectable Mazda Miata MX5 - 35th anniversary limited edition just launched at the 24hrs @ Daytona..... Check it out on YouTube as the 6speed , Artisan Red metallic with tan soft top and tan leather is drop dead gorgeous and as only 200 to Canada + 300 to USA all numbered editions are being made , this little roadster beauty will find its way into classic ICE sports car history....... Coming to me in mid May 2025

With these 2 new cars I will ride into the sunset !.........

Long live Porsche , but I do think some of the driver raw connection has been diminished for which Lotus Emiras clear embrace .....

Be unique .... not perfect
