Even as a coupe, the body felt not stiff enough, the controls were mushy, they are just objets d'art at this point. Museum pieces. The doors feel great, analog clocks are cool, I get all that; but if you actually push it when driving it all falls apart (perhaps the suspension needed a refresh but generally it felt like an average e36 m3, not much better in body structure, handling or even acceleration).

I can’t disagree with you objectively. They are peaky motors without tons of area under the curve power. And the chassis flex is laughable. But still.
But I drove a 911 G series targa to/from work for a year and it was an awesome experience for me. So mechanical and simple. And light.
I just liked it.
