First time driving a Porsche 911 was a big disappointment for me.
Having previously owned a '69 Corvette with a close-ratio 4-speed, I was used to massive low-end torque and fierce acceleration.
I thought this exotic car would blow My socks off.
Mash the throttle to the floor, and..... twiddle my thumbs waiting for something to happen.

Of course, I've learned to enjoy the light, crisp handling of the 911, and have learned the benefits of keeping the tach pointing near redline when acting like a hooligan.

Very different cars. I like both.
