I've owned 6 911's over the last 40 years. They were all different, one from another. The most "fun" was in my first car, a 1966 911. Very easy to spin that car, but it was a connected to the ground car, just like my 914. My last, and current, 911 is a 993. It is quite different from a 914, in that it is no longer as "connected" to the road. However, the handling and power are far superior to anything else I have ever owned. Mine is a 1998 Carrera 2S, which is the last model year for air cooled motors. I love this car and will never sell it. Incredibly fast and incredible stopping power. But, both steering and braking are now power assisted, which contributes to the car being "not connected" feeling.
