You sit more upright and higher-up in the 911.

In the 951 the top of the seat is only 4 inches off the floor. My legs are stretched out in front of me. Also, with the floor-hinged gas pedal, my foot has to hit the pedal at the top as I don't have enough leverage at the bottom off the pedal to keep it pressed. It's a great driving position for fast driving but tiring for long distances.
