@ Michael:
Good choices too, particularly since Porsches 911 aren't anymore the devilishly hard to drive cars they used to be once. I'm a fan of light cars, lowering weight is often more effective to increase power/weight ratio, and it betters cars' handling in most roads, important if you don't live in a boring, flat place. My late dad, before getting older, was an excellent driver, far better than me, on old, rear traction Alfa Romeo's. It's impressive how relatively light the Corvette is, considering its huge engine and the robust transmission an engine with such a torque requires.
