Don't get me wrong, I wanted a 997S back in 2008(but having 2 kids was one of the reasons I got the E90 M3 6MT), the engine felt more torquey than the M3 V8. The roadholding was better , build quality is Number 1 on this planet, but not more driving fun than the E90 M3. Au contraire.
Sometimes the inital UNDERsteer the 911s are 'famous'(...) for, irritated me a bit (a lot) when testdriving the thing.
And don't tell me how to drive an Elfer
I drove a lot of Elfers(from 1973 models via 89 Carreras, 964 C4, 964RS, 996s etc and they all do that) and it's just not my kind of sportscar, but a new GT3/Turbo S, bring it on. Way out of my financial league. So no normal Elfer for me thank you...
Cheers
Robin
