I was also told that Porsche state what they do in the owners' manual to save peoples' lives

They say (so I've been told), that people have a tendancy to "see what it can do" straight after they buy the car! We all know driving a Porsche is not like driving a normal passenger vehicle and it handles totally different. There have been many cases (again, so I've been told), that new Porsche owners have come undone due to speeds/handling they are not used to in the car, therefore "stay under in Rev's"???? to run it in (get used to the car)????

I dont know how much is Fact / Fiction but I do know that the car definately behaves different to the Common or Garden variety car.

Ahh....I guess the "Truth is out there"???????
