No doubt that's the same thing said by 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, and long-hood 911 owners re our three-six "electric sleds"...

And 20 years from now -- when a mid-engine, AWD, electric-hybrid rules the roost as Porsche's premium model -- the 997 owners will wax nostalgic. Just like yours, above.

btw, the 550 & Speedster guys are still most right in this contention.

Possibly although there is IMO a far greater distance between the feel of a 964 and 996 than there is in the feel of a long nose and a 964. The 356's are another story.

In 20 years probably all cars will be electric and have cabin speakers that produces some old-vintage sound brrrm, brrrm, brrrm (of couse some fake shifting will included in the software). I say cabin speakers because they'll be banned on the exterior because of noise pollution...
