Default 911 Platform, Is It Forgiving?

I keep getting ask to compare my Cayman experience vs. the new 911 quite frequently. Of course most people expect me to say that the mid-engine platform felt easier to drive, more balanced and forgiving, and that the controlling the 911's rear-engine layout to require some sort of special skill; so beyond the power differences the Cayman felt better, especially at the track.

I have to admit, those thoughts were my expectations before purchasing the GT3 as well. Granted I only been driving the 3 only for few months, my first 911, so most of the time I am not quite certain how to answer the question without sounding silly. Based on my first three outtings on the 3, the first word that comes to my mind is how forgiving the 3 has felt to me. The rear end seems quite stable and when it let's go, it is truly slow motion and easy to catch, very unlike the Cayman, and the car responds to throttle in such a balanced manner that, I find the car, for now, easy to drive I am sure I am no where close to the limit of the car, but what do you all think, what am I missing?
