I've never owned a truly fast car, but I own multiple Ducati motorcycles, one specifically which doesn't even come alive below 60mph, and stalls and overheats below 30mph.. I realized long ago how pointless it is on the road and I keep it just for the track.. My most fun bikes are my 1100 air-cooled hypermotard which is happiest between 30mph and 70mph... Super fast vehicles are truly tough to enjoy on road IMO
For me a C2S, Cayman or anything other than a GT car in Porsche's line-up (GT3, RS, GT2) is boring once you've tasted the fruit. Imo, again for me, I can and did truly enjoy my previous GT3 on the street at sane speeds much more than I ever enjoyed my previous turbo, C2S or C4S cab. Of course, the faster you go the more you appreciate a car like a GT3. Whether or not I enjoyed my car at 8500 rpms in the upper gears is not the point of this conversation. The point is I would rather wind it up to towards red in second and drive in a similar way as the OP describes, than drive one of the other aforementioned cars.
