I want to ask the hardcore Porsche guys here a question:
Porsche and 911 in particular are considered the pinnacle of automotive engineering excellence. But is there something you miss from other cars you have owned or driven? Is there a car brand that does something a little better? For e.g. steering feel of a Lotus or transmission shifts of a Ferrari or something like that?
I will leave out the obvious: I know Porsche is not known for luxury of a Rolls Royce/Bentley… So :)
Honda makes a better shifter
Totally agree! My Civic Si shifter was so much smoother to shift.
Even Andreas Preuninger (Porsche’s GT director) said he reveres Honda shifters.
Absolutely. Came here to say just that. My S2000 just can’t be beat with shifter feel. I borrowed my friends 997 over the summer for a day, and I was underwhelmed by the shifting.
