The Atom is like gutting a NA Miata then adding an LT4/LS9.

RR must be driven very different from other cars too. With minimal weight over the front wheels it’s very easy to over work the front tires on entry because people are heavy on the brakes while trying to turn in. They can also push if you get back on the throttle too soon. I think part of the attraction to the 911, especially older ones is the unique driving characteristics. People that master them can be very fast and tend to be know to only race 911s (Patrick Long, Wolf Henzler, etc). I read a cool article in GRM once with driving tips from Patrick Long. I’ve never driven a 911 in real life but love them in simulators and it was interesting reading this article and being amazed with how his description of the car matched my experiences with them in sims (rFactor specifically).
My dream car would be a 964 from Singer. Unfortunately I don’t have 400-600k on hand. Hahaha
