How would you compare your cars? 997 4s was quite a culture shock for me in terms of handling, such a planted car it was.

My 964 C2 loved to try to kill me on cloverleafs (cloverleaves?) on a regular basis. I've never noticed either my 996 C4 or 996tt try to do that. I wouldn't put it past them, but never caught them trying it.

What about the 928, I would guess it is soft but balanced?FRUNKenstein wrote: ↑Thu Sep 06, 2018 7:44 am My 964 C2 loved to try to kill me on cloverleafs (cloverleaves?) on a regular basis.

The 928 is rarely, if ever, driven in anger.
As a matter of fact, I don't know if it can even get angry anymore.
