[Driver Ed]

Nice! Don't forget to update your signature to account for the change of inventory. I had a similar "problem" in that I had an '82 911 and wanted a newer, more powerful Porsche. I wound up buying a 2000 Carrera (C2) coupe and keeping the '82 as well. I find that driving the '00 is a very different experience from driving the '82. For one thing, the newer beast is a lot more civilized and I'm not sure if that's entirely a good thing. Power steering and A/C that works is nice, but I find that it's a bit harder to feel what the car's actually doing. The engine's much quieter than my older beast, so I find that I tend to look at the tach a lot more rather than just listening to the engine note. The clutch also feels a lot different to me. For both those reasons, I find it's also that much harder for me to blip the throttle and speed-match the engine when downshifting.

I haven't taken the new one out on the track yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so after I get a little more used to driving it. How do you like your '02? How are you adjusting to it after your '84?
