I tried to purchase a 996…waded it up with a block!
Actually the goons at the car lot had put Armour All on the tires AND on the tread part too! It was the scariest 30 seconds of my life. It put me off wanting a 911 after that.
I could have fought it but the insurance paid and I went on to a 986. Knew a wanted a Porsche, since I was a pup…but did not want to get "eaten alive" by a 996!
Steering with the rear tires is nothing new to me, dirt bikes, sport bikes, shifter carts - all steer with the rear….IMHO the 911 model is TOO DEPENDENT on steering from the rear - what happens when you do not have traction there? You wad the car up!
Fortunately, no one was hurt in my making that decision.
