The curves and I am not talking about the road. The shape is timeless. I love those headlights too. They flow so nicely into the fenders. The rear is probably one of the best in the last 40 years.
I love that the 986 was just the S and Non S, not 10 different versions.
I got one more...

I love the mechanical "smell" and "feel" of the car. Its not a raw feel like an air cooled 80's 911 but it feels connected unlike many new cars today. I have never driven a newer Porsche but I am sure the connected feeling to the car still exists. I own a tiny piece of automotive Porsche history, again the analog feel compared to today's new cars. The top down feeling on a nice day with the flat six making awesome noises.

Right on Steve. You are driving a giant killer for sure.

There is probably a thread on miata.net about the feeling of catching and passing a Porsche...

My son in his Miata caught and passed me one time at Roebling at an HPDE, it was a legitimate pass, he was on fire that day and I was having a slump, and it was kind of rainy. Over 1-2 laps he reeled me in and caught me right at turn 8/9, so I lifted on the front straight to let him by. I had to hear about it for weeks, and he even made a little animated gif that he loved to share. If I can find it I will share...
