Indeed. The great thing about the Porsche flat 6 is its wonderful torque curve. Other engines may make more peak horsepower, but these things make power almost everywhere. No weak spots, and they seem to just keep pulling and pulling.
Glad to hear you made it out of town. 911s are great road trip cars. They keep you alert and enthused the entire time. Especially if you stay off the dull interstate. That's active safety. No falling asleep at the wheel. Maybe a danger of grinning so big that you can't see out of your squinting eyes though.
