plus you dont have the fat beetle look of the fewer ones and hydraulic tasty steering with a lot more analogue interactions.

Wonder if it still tries to kill you like the 996. That super light front end, and unpredictable back end is no bueno for me.
The 997 is the exact same as the 996 from a handling perspective, they have a huge number of shared suspension components and all can be retrofit from one to the other.

The 991 is when they lengthened the wheelbase and moved the engine forward... aka slowly started to improve the critical shortcoming of the 911.
