Meh... I've owned - over many years - 356s, early 911s and 912s, a mid year 911, a 996, 2 boxsters...
When all ihad was oldies I wanted a new one. And vice versa ;-)
When I drive the new car I'm blown away by the power, handling, and reliability. The not having to worry on track day, the zero overheating, the level of handling... When I drive the older ones, I love having to work for it, the smell, the sound, but I hate driving my mirrors on track days ;-)
Each time I drive one category (old or new) or the other for a few days, stepping into the "other" side is a revelation.... Works both ways, trust me! Give it time !
You gotta have one of each... I'm thinking of trading my current backdated 911SC + commuter GTI to get a used Cayman S... I'm still short a few pennies though ;-) That incredible handling cayman + my 1969 912 in the stable might be ideal.
At least you tried all those cars, what annoys me is people who have strong anti-water cooled opinions but have never driven a modern porsche in anger. Me, I'd take a 987/997 for track and commute any day, and a classic aircooled for small winding roads or just "fun"... Both is the answer ;-)
