When purchasing my 991.2, the f type R was a strong contender. What an amazing exhaust note.... But I felt like I was driving a sedan. Why does the car feel so nose heavy?!?

I don't own an F-type, but I test drove one back-to-back with a 991.1 S. Despite the power difference, the 991 felt just as fast, and had much better visibility. The difference in weight really does matter. I was pretty sure I wanted the F type, but direct experience changed my mind. The cockpit also felt unrefined compared to the Porsche.

If you are used to driving a rear engined Porsche, then driving a front engined v8 could probably be the reason it feels nose heavy.
