no I don't think its a 911 thing, but definitely a 996 thing. I've listened to some very experienced club racers tell me that all of the new Porsches feel very disconnected when compared to the air cooled flavors.

as for 911TT, at these prices (sooo low) if you are going to go 911 go with the real deal. good luck with the insurance and at the pump!

I know my opinion is virtually meaningless, but being a novice at autocrossing, I tend to over-drive my Box...and that is an understatement.

Every turn I take feels like the car is going to lose control or spin out and it is constantly regaining control.



I have never been able to spin the car out or have it completely lose control even at those limits.


It is truly amazing how it always regains control.



Of course, it can be fun sometimes to break the tail loose around a corner
