Frankly, driving one...I'm not so sure the independent rear is really needed...it handles pretty well without one. No plans to track this car...it'll be "just a driver", without the hassles I had with 911S ownership.

That is, the paranoia of driving the irreplaceable, the pressures from folks who wanted it in their garage, the 200 mile round trips to get the work I didn't do done, and more..."stuff" I don't want to get into anymore.
