That was great but didn't last. Most of us like the creature comforts of modern living like - AC, power brakes, door locks..... The Boxster hands-down out handles, out performs, is more comfortable than an old 911 and, of course, they are convertibles. A 911SC with a whale-tail in Guard's Red is certainly a classic. Maybe too classic for me.
If you think a 60s muscle car is a driver's car, you NEED to drive an older 911 on a twisty road. Night and day.

Besides, it's not like an SC is a suspensionless track car. Porsches have always been known for making great streetable sports cars. The old ones are just lighter, more direct, and built better.
