It seems obvious to me that the 911 shape is nice but the newer cars are just not visceral enough nor do they eclipse the 356 shape.
Maybe Boring is the right term at least that is what comes to mind for me as I went to buy a new one and well walked out disappointed. Quoting Jay: ..."Click click click and your doing 100mph, what is the fun in that"
A friend who has a lot of supercars, tracks them... finally got a helicopter

Maybe the new ones. Certainly not a 2007 6 speed plain-old manual trans in a sexy body with a switch to TURN OFF traction control. Very visceral experience if you ask me.

Two days of running Watkins Glen hooked me, but good. Having the back end step out a bit over 100 mph will wake you up.

Throw the same car around the autocross course getting totally sideways in second gear? FUN FUN FUN!

Dual clutch paddle shifting? Nah. Rev-matching down shifts? Nope. That would be boring.
