Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Bloomin 'eck!! http://www.heiser.net/documents/nurburgring/#shitbox [ ]

POST 2Original post

Suppose that you were given a rental 911. Now suppose that you have no prior Porsche experience. How would you treat it? [ ] PS - he seems to prefer the 996 to the Boxster!

POST 3Original post

He is not that far off..... Unless you get the high end 996, the car is not built for track days. Unfortunatelly, as I have said before, Porsche is trying to sell cars not for performance but for esteem... But if the performance is lost the esteem will soon evaporate because the prices are not high enough to maintain the momentum, like Ferrari or Lambo for example. I fear that the Porsche brand rapidly becomes the "MenoPorsche" car. Nevertheless, I beleive that my 996 is a great value-for-money all-around super-sports car with adequate abilities for adrenalin kicks. [ ]

POST 4Original post

Depends on the driver! This guy sounds like an experienced track driver. He needs a GT3. Those of us who just dip our toe in the world of track days and pootle round watching the rear view mirror, a Carrera works. Well, it has for me so far anyway. The problem is that the 911 brand is so powerful that all the cars in the range are viewed as one of a kind. We in PCGB know that a Carrera 4 and a GT2 are not similar, but many others don't.

POST 5Original post

On the contrary, an experienced driver will easily find the capabilities of any car, drive it to its limit and have fun. Unexperienced drivers will only have fun with a powerfull car on straight acceleration, the fun starts when overtaking while hard on brakes.... Cheers [ ]
