The Porsche is an experience that you just have to feel to "get". It's a similar aesthetic to Apple computers. A Porsche might not be the fastest, most expensive, or prettiest, but it is the /Porscheist/ :)

Very similar: Lotus. Try an Elise or and Exige some time. I'd love to have one set up for where I can really use it: on the track. IMO, any "street car" that does better than about 6sec 0-60 is wasteful on the street, and sadly most of these 911s are driven by lawyers and housewives of hedge fund managers who will never use them where they really shine.
