Sportos are perfectly fine when set up well, but they do stop it being a sports car and make it into a cruiser.
I used to smoke a 188 SC sporto as a daily driver and it was great for regular use. You could drive it through the gears or just leave it in one gear and use it like an auto. The torque of the 3.0 helped, but the power is about the same as your E will be.
Is the colour OG?

Yeah Tangerine. TBH i'm not going to be ragging this about the track, or lanes. I'll see how I get on with it, I can always switch it out without too much pain and keep everything safe.

1970 car, 2.2 911E supplied to Porsche GB but spent some time on the isle of man and came back to the mainland in 76.
The car has a lot going for it in that its super original and this is the first Restoration so hasn't been subject to any major DIY. All the interior, wiring, engine etc etc is unmolested. Its had some kidney bowl work but that must have been back in the late 70's which goes to show these things didn't last long before the rust kicked in. I guess living on a small island didn't help.
Its matching numbers and the Fuchs appear to be the same ones that came with the car from new, the only down side is......Its a Sporto. OK not ideal but i'm hoping when its finished it will be one of the best Sportos in the country and as there aren't many left its a shame to convert it to a manual. Plus from what i've read they're pretty interesting to drive when they're sorted.
The last owner was disabled so he had the accelerator switched to the left of the brake.
The Whale tale has long gone i'm afraid, as has the fibreglass S bumper. Its going pretty much as per the factory except for a little lows.
I'm trying to copy the factory paint imperfections as best as possible too.
