Harris is one of my favorites, clearly the guy can drive too btw, but I always take journalists evaluations of something new from Porsche with a Titanic iceberg-sized grain of salt. You can't make it a habit to slam all of Porsche's efforts and expect to get first crack at their cars. Harris in particular is a purist who is so fanatical that he mortgaged his next three lifetimes to pay for the 997 GT3 4.0 with no special terms, all interest up front at 7% when the base rate is 000.000%
I'm sure in private he will tell you that the grandpa ride/Rohrl time sheet essence of these now longer than a Corvette (just put the engine the middle already) Carreras are making an undeniable turn in the direction of more Aston Martin less Steve McQueen.
