^from your sig I see that you enjoy driving an outdated 911 that is devoid of modern technology such as ABS and airbags (probably airconditioning too
) which would allow for more control, more comfort and greater safety. One could argue that the only "advantage" provided by your crusty old 911 vs. a shiny new 991 is the attention it gets from other equally clueless fools. Do you believe the modern technology and safety equipment in a brand new Porsche is not the least bit intrusive or detracting in any way from the driving experience?
