This I have to totally disagree with. After I upgraded my 930 to Bilstein Sports, that car was the harshest car to drive since my Lotus Super 7 racer.
The '57 Speedster I am currently driving is one of the sweetest drivers of any of the P-cars I have owned. It is just as capable as my 912 Coupe in the twisties, smooth as silk on good asphalt, and just a real joy to drive. Not sure you can improve much on an early open top Porsche. I'm sure it's due to the original condition of the chassis, and the years of proper maintenance including nearly new Koni's. I don't see the desire to own a proper 356 falling away anytime in the near future.
Look at how many younger folks are choosing to build a Speedster replica. These early Porsche's are timeless cars.
