I think the key is the fact that it is a modern performance car, a true slap in the face of technology is turning away from what the developments of the automotive industry and put a set of bias ply tires on your car and try driving it the way you drive with extra grippy directional radials. Or you could rip out your EFI and install a pair of side draft SU/Zenith-Strombergs carbs on your engine, and use a dual point non mechanical advancing distributor instead of your ECM and coil packs. Leaf springs instead of fully adjustable coil overs with camber plates...

Sure I miss the good old days driving around in my 1969 Austin Healey Sprite ... but when I feel nostalgic I drive my 1975 MG Midget. For street legal Go-Karting I jump in one of my four MINIs, If I want heavy metal muscle car madness it is my 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T with the supercharged 5.7 HEMI and when I want the best of all of them I drive my 997 and no matter how I drive or where I am going the open road is the journey to my destination.
