To me the 997 hits my sweetspot given the lack of twisties here. Entering a freeway it still has good shove in the back and sounds fantastic right up to red line. If it does turn twisty it's more capable than me.

In the end I can't go legit tossable traditional sports car ala miata or boxster because I have the four of us in the 911 about 70% of the time I use it. This weekend we all set out at 7am sunday morning, packed the frunk with snacks and water, hit the freeway for 25 mins then some twisties, stopped for breakfast at a nice cafe then went on a hike and repeat in reverse. Can't do that with 4 people in a 2 seater. On the way back we had a clean entrance to the freeway, i went WOT in 3rd and my goodness the kiddos loved it.
