I had a 1986 turbo 1911. Horsepower was not so much by todays standards. Handling was good until the back end snapped around. Todays cars (911s too) are much better. My 2013 Audi S6 today has brutal take off and handles better, though much heavier.
Yeah, they’re better, but that ‘80s era 911 turbo is a more interesting car. It has lines and basic engineering that go straight back to the original. If offered the choice between a beautiful example of a classic ‘80s 911 turbo and a new one, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second. I’d take the classic.
