Love it to bits, best car so far !!

I wanted to try out a 2WD 911 so I switched from a 996 Turbo to a 997 Carrera S with PASM. I must say, the PASM is phenomenal. I never seen or felt an electronic system that makes an instantaneous and very noticeable difference in how the car handles and responds to the throttle...it's awesome. In "normal" mode the car eats up bumps and handles plushly but still quickly. In "Sport" mode, you feel every crevice and crack in the road the instant you push the button, and I mean the instant, it's very noticeable. This system gives you the best of both worlds. The 2WD car handles a lot better than the AWD Turbo too. It doesn't understeer as bad on corner entry and in fact it seems to apply a brake to the inside rear wheel which pulls the front of the car exactly were you want it to go...really cool. It has an amazing amount of corner exit grip too. And it sounds awesome on full song north of 5,000 Rpms....(not as good as a GT3, but better than a Turbo). A really fun car that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to maintain either. People have this false idea that Porsche parts cost some ridiculous amount of money. They really dont. Some things you expect to be expensive aren't and some things you think would be reasonable aren't (like the ash tray). Definitely cheaper than my old BMW.

This machine is aerodynamic and with a manual gear box, you can get a quick start and push the car to it's limit. The wonderful experience about this machine is, if you dare to push the trottle while cornering, you will feel the stability while cornering in high speed. 4:5 rating for me.

No other car for the money can offer more. You feel complete as a driver and comfortable with the car. In most cases the 911 is more capable than the driver.

* Performance - acceleration is aite, braking aint the best, handling is sick! * Build Quality - its a porsche, built to perfection! * Appearance - you tell me?! does it make you wanna jump in!? * Cost of Ownership - lets not go there. * Fun Factor - so much fun, it should be illegal!
