To be fair, the 987 brake feel difference was stark doing back to back comparisons/car changes. Once I drove the cars for a while, I never thought about it. But same goes for the steering, I don't keep thinking about the EPS in the 981, though it doesn't feel as good as the 987. That's a little more important.
The 987.1 ABS was fooled in certain circumstances though, hard stops on bumpy pavement could trigger what felt like being on ice, not even feeling the abs pumping and a large increase in stopping distance. I could point out the exact spot on the exit ramp off of the Hutch that I took to switch to I95-N. Very few locations caused it, rare indeed. Haven't noticed that with the 981, perhaps it's a PSM/ABS tuning improvement. Never had it on the 997.2 but I didn't complete a year with that car (I do miss it).
