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

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..

No offense to the Evora GT. It’s the car that convinced me to buy a Lotus, and for a long time I thought about a lightly used Evora GT rather than an Emira. Mostly because it is a little raucous and flashy!

I’m surprised to hear that. I always assumed those slingshots were too tail happy due to limited traction.

I had a launch edition slingshot. I only kept it for about a year. I was not really impressed with the handling, and you cooked in the summer and froze in the spring and fall. Glad to hear it has improved.
We sold the Slingshot for a Miata ND and never looked back. What an awesome car
