I work at the Porsche dealership here in San Antonio. Today our local PCA hosted a track Day at Harris Hill Road. My sales manager was kind enough to lend me this 09 997 for the day. Last time they had me in a 09 Boxster S. I prefer the mid engine Boxster but I still thoroughly enjoyed driving this car in anger.

Where is the link to the video?

Want to see how that puppy handled!

I didn't take any this time around. It handled like a marshmallow on street tires. It had 140 treadwear Bridgestones with full tread depth. It was quite a bit of fun but you could really feel the tires squirm. I enjoyed getting the back end to step out while trail breaking then ease off the breaks and steering, let stability management take over and just bury the throttle. It was a base model so no active suspension or anything. They almost lent me a Boxster Spyder but that fell through.

Keep making good coffee for the real mechanics Woody and one day that Spyder will be yours. For a day anyway.

Cinderelli, Cinderelli, all day long it's Cinderelli!

Hi buddy. They don't like my coffee, its only a little strong They tell me as long as I keep mopping the bathrooms I'm good.

You can drive mine too if you mop my bathroom.

Yeah, ummm, Michael? Woodsy said he was done with "base" models. 'kay?

Talk to him when you can bring him a Carrera 4....

Or at least a car with a manual transmission...

'07 Carrera S - 6 speed.

The C4's are great in the snow. Otherwise a lot of extra weight to make it feel even less like a 911. With the C2 you can still move the back end around. Somewhat.


Dave = dimwit

You're weird.
