Check out this Car and Driver review 1984....
It is the evil weevil, the rock-solid, steely-eyed grim reaper of sporting cars, the para*gon of knife-edged incisiveness and buttoned-down insanity. More than any other factory-fresh passenger car available here today, the Porsche 911 Carrera is the abso*lute embodiment of clench-jawed, tight*fisted, slit-eyed enthusiasm run amok, a car for making the landscape pass with explosive fluidity. Strange that a car so serious can bring such unadulterated joy, but there you are, sporting an enormous, cheek-splitting leer when you unstrap and step out. You devil, you.
