Same here. I had a 968 back in the 1990s, and at one point tried to convince myself to upgrade to a new 993. I still remember how nonplussed I was during the test drive. “There’s something wrong with this clutch pedal,” was one thought -- they were hinged from the floor in those days, which is stupid and wrong -- and…
