My son and I both noted those two models. I don't recall which exotic he thought it resembled but it wasn't Ferrari.

It’s like my Cherokee around here. Every other car is a Cherokee or a corvette. For a DD truck I don’t mind. For my fun car, I’m not interested in being a part of the herd where the only thing unique about your car is your aftermarket rims and exhaust

And yes Geronimo the new 911 (922) has cup holder and I’m sure you can stuff golf clubs in the back and I’m positive the new 911 would blow the doors of this corvette without blinking, in every category. And should the 911 lose to it in a drag race, who cares. That’s not performance in my opinion. Any car can be made to go fast in a straight line. It’s the other stuff that wins races and makes driving fun
That's part of the conversation my brother and I were just having about it. I said it will never reach the iconic level of the 80's 911 simply because there will be more of them out there. It'll become sort of "ho hum"
