That's one of the reasons I've stuck with my SC for all these years.
The 911 will always have that evergreen feel. The 356? Even now you could drive one everyday!
Someone somewhere put a lot of effort into selling us these Vintage Supercars.
Have you ever driven a Ferrari from 70s or early 80s? How about an E Type Jag with no power steering? 
Years ago a neighbor owned a Lamborghini Jalpa. Overall a horrible POS. (& that's putting it mildly) |
Nothing wrong with an E-Type with no power assist. My ‘61 roadster was super easy to drive even at parking speeds. Maybe yours had a smaller diameter steering wheel or was not set up right and there are a lots of adjusts to can be out of whack. Lots wrong about later power assisted ones as they were over boasted.
Totally agree about about the SC and 356 practicality. Drove my ‘64 to work every day in the early 2000s and it was happy even in the hideous traffic of LA. That said, neither of those cars are super cars of their era. Just good GTs.
There is a place for those old super cars and it’s in the garages of the very rich to be used on traffic-free Sunday mornings and otherwise used as a topic of conversation at parties. Nothing useful about them at all but they do look pretty. Garage art for those that are running out of things to spend their money on.
