Cars are bigger, heavier, due to forced safety systems and other government forced design. For the average driver and open road use, modern cars are safer and faster within a higher safety envelope, just less fun at sane speeds.
The 911 DNA is still present, up to a point, up until the 997.2. The 991 has a 4" longer wheelbase and that makes the car far more 'balanced' virtually eliminating the 911 pendulum dynamics signature. The 991 no longer feels like a 911. It still is a great performer, just with different dynamics. The new customer who has no clue, or enjoys, pendulum dynamics, loves the new car. So all is good.
