I love porsches, driven 1981 SC, 993 and 997. Pick of the bunch would be the 997, it has all the computing power you mentioned and also had a far better build quality. 997 felt like a luxury car rather than a sports car, that is until you put the foot down  |
It's like my Lambo. I think if it didn't have all the computer control it would be scary. As is, it's incredibly fast around corners with virtually no effort. Right after I got that car, I went for a long drive through some serious twistys along the wisconsin river with a bunch of porsche's. After about 10 minutes I was alone..no one in my rear view. I actually had to stop to let everyone catch up. This was with my wife in the car and hardly any experience driving the thing. One of the guys in the group was driving a Boxster and he was actually covered in sweat he was driving so hard trying to keep up.
On that same run there was a fellow that drove a Viper. After we stopped for a break,,he tucked in right behind me and burned me on a straight. I was kind of napping.. I got him on the next corner and really went for it for nearly 5ish miles and when we all bunched up again he wasn't there?? I thought s**T I hoped he hadn't messed up and crashed.
He didn't..he was pissed that he couldn't keep up and just turned off and left.
