However, this past weekend I had about 15 minutes in a 997 Carrera S being driven by a track instructor, on a track. Again, I can't compare it to the performance of a 370, but my goodness the 911 was unbelievable. I should mention that it was a stock car (except brakes, I think) on stock tires.
Curious if anyone else has experience in a 370 (duh) and a newer 911 at the limit?

Last summer I got to drive the hell out of c4 convertible, was from 2003 I believe. Was a blast to drive, the girl I was seeing let me "borrow" it for the weekend, was her mom's. I drove it like I stole it, was the only stick shift porsche I drove around... I had an 06 g35 coupe back then, which drove like a slug in comparison. Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure they put down similar power. (315 hp vs 296). I loved my G, but the feeling of cruising in that Porsche was just awesome. Took it out by the beach here on Long Island, drove it for hours... I def wouldn't mind having one!
Other Porsche's I've driven are 93 c2 convertible, and a very old one (1980 911 SC targa). I didn't get to have nearly as much fun with those as the other other car I mentioned.
