Very smooth engine but also very linear so not as exciting as one might hope, in stock form too softly sprung, too quiet an exhaust, exact same "yawn" interior as a 911SC (with more warning lights on the dash, often ON because something is wrong), a squeaky windshield, an annoying immobilizer that can leave you stranded, expensive valve guide repairs / secondary air port coking up, etc... The most "GT" of all 911s I owned and at the same time, both the prettiest & most dissapointing to drive to me. Of course that is just my opinion (based on a string of ownership from 356 to 991) but to me it falls in the "neither-nor" zone, not classic enough for that raw experience, not quick and modern enough for the speed/reliable/carplay experience...for the insane money. If they were 20K cheaper then no problem, because they are pretty and all my gripes are fixable aftermarket... And now I will put on my kevlar helmet and seek cover.

(Did I mention it's the prettiest 911 even penned?)

Interesting. I've never driven one, but I did ride in one that was modded (suspension and Recaro SPG, maybe more).

I don't think they are the prettiest 911 ever. I'm not saying that they are great looking cars, but I don't know that they are the prettiest.

I loved, loved, loved my old '88. If I had a bunch of spare money laying around needing to be burned, I would be looking at air cooled.
