I don't think it is necessary, but it is nice. My first instructor had a 944, second a CaymanS, and third a 964 911. I found myself underwhelmed by the 944, and impressed by both the 911 and the CaymanS. I have to say that the way that the 911 danced through the curves because of the rear weight was almost like a ballet. You are probably correct, in that a person my be too overwhelmed to begin with to worry about the car model

None of my instructors had Caymans, and all of them provided valuable insight and instruction.
