I've always heard the Porsche turbo is amazing. But when I test drove it about three weeks ago, it felt weird. I mean it was quick but it didn't feel confident in its turn in and road holding. The worst part was I felt insulated from the drive. Is it that I'm not used to rear engine 4WD. I expected an absolute blast.
Last week I test drove the 360 and it was just magic. The howl of the engine aside, the car felt like it responded to my mind rather than my hands and feet. And it felt confident. I just went faster and faster into the corners and I would pour on the mid-corner power searching for the limit of the grip and I just didn't find it.
I guess it's an understandable outcome. German clinical precision against Italian hot blooded passion. But that's not the impression I got from reading all the reviews on the Porsche. It's always held up as the standard by which supercars are measured. But it really wasn't fun to drive.
So I need help from people who have driven both. Am I too inexperienced a driver to appreciate the Porsche? Is it simply the Ferrari having less turns lock to lock? Or is my experience like that of everyone else?
