You get used to the size. At first it seemed very big to me (after the MR2/911 where you barely see the hood) but you quickly forget about that unless of course you jumped from one right into the other.
There's my Porsche content for the day.

That depends on which Shelby (or Roush) but generally hold true...except the hotter Roush and Shelby cars are "huffer" engines. I still prefer normally aspirated power. Actually the Shelby GT350 and the '08-09 Bullitt are very similar in performance when comparing year to year. Just that the Shelby "looks" faster with it's shelby nameplate, stripes, spoilers, etc.
Sure agreee on getting used to the size. After the '72S, with it's curb weight of 2440, the Bullitt felt huge. But then, I'm thinking a Porsche GT3 would feel huge & heavy compared to the S. The Bullitt was a pleasant surprise as far as handling goes...very crisp and positive turn in, even with it's relatively "tall" ZR 235/50 stock tires. After driving a spell, the size becomes unnoticable...yet the comfort becomes very noticable.
Me driving the old 911S would be working hard and be getting beaten to death to keep up with me in the Bullitt over the South Santiam pass here.
The BIG difference? Me in the Bullitt would be making the drive while enjoying a 6 speaker stereo & enjoying air conditioned comfort. Just enjoying a much easier and really quicker drive...
The older I get, the more I enjoy the comfort.
I'd still like those Brembo brakes, as well as another 100 ponies.
But hey, what are we doing talking about cars here?
