I assume because it does not have manual and bucket seats you consider this a patsy car and no longer fun to drive. If it is fun to drive you are looking for drive the Boxster or Cayman. Better yet drive a Miata. All three are blast drive while inhaling exhaust fumes.

Bottom line is the Cayman is rear mid-engine which is the best platform to start with - period. Any car that has its engine positioned outside the axles is starting out with a handicap, and must rely on engineering gymnastics to overcome it.
The only thing that has kept the rear engined Carerra in production is the need for nastalgia of most the people wealthy enough to afford one. Same exact thing as with BMW motorcycle owners arcaic boxer engine they kept alive long past its time.

I do not understand your comments regarding the 991GT3. The car is about performance and the 991 will out perform all previous GT3's.

You may be right.
However, let's compare apples to apples. A competent driver in the 996/997GT3 and a competent driver in the 991GT3. No contest. The 991 GT3 has more hp, PDK, front and rear steering and comparable weight.
The Gt3 whatever year is a track car. Performance is what matters. The new GT3 trumps them all.
