Two of the great car brands are German Porsche and Mercedes. I wish I could find the article again, one of the US car magazines in the 80's held a road ace with different cars from Mercedes, Porsche. Ferrari etc with many of the great racing drivers of the day, across a varied course including mountains and the surprising winner against out and out true sports cars like the 911 was an automatic Mercedes SL500, I believe driven by Fittiipaldi.
The short wheel base 911 were a bit if a handful and certainly the 930 turbo's could put you through a hedgerow backwards before you knew it.
The most endearing feature of a 911 is that unlike many other sport cars from famous stables, as long as they are regularly serviced they are utterly reliable, not temperamental and can be used as a daily hack.
