The Editor,
Re: "Icon still outperforms others," DriveTime, Dec. 28.
As a Porsche enthusiast myself, I quite enjoyed the article from Mr. David Chao on Dec. 28.
While I agree wholeheartedly about the 911 being the true sports car that it is (I owned one of the classic models myself), I would like to suggest one correction. The article states, "Since its inception in 1948, the 911's appearance has evolved gracefully."
The actual fact is that the first Porsche 911 rolled out of the factory in 1963/64.
I believe Jerry Seinfeld owns that one. The 1948 Mr. Chao referred to is probably its predecessor, the Porsche 356, which is by no means a 911. It may look like one, but it's more closer to the Volkswagen Beetle than the Porsche 911. Otherwise a fine article!.
