First Drive Impressions

Wow. The accelerator pedal is welded to the cars acceleration, push down, instant go fast, let up, instant slow down, the brakes are raised to some power of the gas pedal, keep a bandaid handy for your nose if you hit them too hard. Cornering? What corners? Makes my Mustang GT feel like a dirigible. Top speed? 60 mph, felt like 25. Kept looking at the road for the rails.

Drove my ranger for 13 years then bought the Porsche.

Holy crap what a difference! Had all the same observations. Never drove a car with pep besides a 68 Stang but these cars are awesome.

The stock suspension corners well. Coilovers / lowering springs will teleport you to another dimension!
