I have a 1973 Carrera RS clone.....Many real RS parts and 2.7, MFI etc. Weighs 2100 lbs.
When I go from my 2003 986 to that car I know I am in a really fun driver.
The 986 is just too refined.....sure it handles great and mid engine is nice, but I am too tall for it, it is too quiet, and just too refined.
my 2 cents
