The road feel in the 911 is 2x our car, it's that good. The electronic steering is fantastic and doesn't feel digital at all. Very responsive and VERY precise.

The Z truly is a baby Porsche and I love that I can get 75% of the experience for a fraction of the price..
A few questions!
  1. When you say that the power delivery is smoother, do you mean its like a "rising surge" of power? I've always noticed that the Z in certain gears are more of a sudden burst (2nd gear 7AT) where power is mostly delivered in the middle of the gears (in my experience).
  2. I expected my Z to have a better feel of the road when taking turns. I've always noticed that the steering a little "numb" when I'm taking corners at a relatively high speed. Would you say that the Porsche doesn't have that "numb" feeling?
  3. How close, in your opinion, could I make my Z to a 997 with aftermarket parts? (Suspension, bolt-ons, tires, etc.)
