Well. Now that we've sidetracked to a topic that I like. Yes. The 911s are amazing. Had three of them. 2 Twin Turbo 911s and a 911 cab. Great cars, but ............... boring after a while. 911s are no longer sportscars. They are bloated, heavy GT cars. They are cars attempting to please all facets of your driving duties. Carrera S is good. The GT3/GT3RS cars are better.
I don't like cars that coddle me like a Lexus. Had a R8 V10 for awhile. Great car. 525 horsepower. All naturally aspirated. Red lined around 8500. A GLORIOUS sound indeed. Great car, but it was designed to be a daily driver exotic. Inside felt like any ordinary Audi. Problem with high horsepower cars is that you cannot exploit all that potential speed without possibly going to jail. I didn't go to jail, but spent an entire day with the DUI losers in a court mandated class, high insurance premium, $$ for the ticket due to an Exhibition of Speed ticket. In Arizona exhibition of speed is a
class one misdemeanor, which is the highest classification of a misdemeanor offense that we have. It also carries with it eight points that would go on your license. If you get convicted a second time within two years, this turns into a felony. Yea. Sold the R8 after this fun experience.
I like cars that are abusive to drive and are flawed. (kind of like my wife
). Research the Alfa Romeo 4C. You don't need high horsepower. You just need a very light chassis. The 4C has a carbon fiber tub with aluminum substructures. It weighs around 2500 pounds. 240 horsepower. Has a power to weight ratio of a modern GT3. These cars don't hide all the mechanical sounds. The 4C is loud and obnoxious. Can you daily drive a 4C? Absolutely not unless you are insane.
Electric cars. At this point they are simply appliances to move you from A to B. It is the future, I will be buying an electric car as a COMMUTER car soon. As for electric sportscars. There is no denying the advantages electric has. But there is far more to the "driving" experience than instant torque and speed. I'll pass.
