I never got very good with their shifters but otherwise always enjoyed driving them.
Hucho would classify the 911 as a 'pseudo-Jaray' form,with a bit too fast downslope on the roofline in side elevation for this 'Lange' form.Over the years a number of rear spoilers have been employed as a palliative for the flow separation-induced lift.
Today's Porsche is finally getting away from that steep roof.The Panamera and 918 are closer to the K-form.
