Actually, I do not much care for Porsches.
Tar and feather me if you will, but I do not like how 'light' the front end feels in deep steering and the feeling of the front tires slipping over the roadway, and the momentum drag on the back end. I don't much care for it at all. I am not alone in this feeling. The Porsche is just not stiff enough.
I have drove a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia with a Porsche mill planted in it and some custom work... And I must say, that car cornered like it was on rails. It is a shame that the model was never developed to it's full potential. Due to the unibody design, the car didn't contort or flex as much in tight turns at high speeds. My only complaint about it, and other cars like it, is that I am built like an ape. And I don't much care for slamming my elbow in to the door or the window while turning. Most of the time I drive with my hands on the 7 o clock and 5 o clock positions and 'pass' the wheel from one hand to the other in deep turns, but there are occasions where I must manhandle the steering. If you could imagine an orangutang stuffed in to a small compact car, you have a working picture of what I look like in there. Oooh oooh ooh.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
