I have a 78 911 in the shop right now and after fixing a few leaks and chasing a vibration in the front wheels, I took it for a test drive. The car has bilstein struts and stock Tbars upfront. Anyway, the car seems to float and bouncy in the front. I took it up and down one of my favorite test roads and hated it. The car never felt planted, it seemed like the front end wasn't really touching the ground. It is hard to describe, maybe it is a 911 thing but it didn't feel anywhere as planted and solid as my 914.

I really don't have a lot of driving experience with driving 911s so I don't have anything to compare it to.
