A week in with the 911

no_ball · 09-17-2011, 11:16 AM

i would have a rapide any day over that ugly panamera thing

rogerxp · 09-17-2011, 11:37 AM

Love it, my dream car, want it, want it, want it

dxb335d · 09-17-2011, 12:16 PM

Very nice indeed! I cant remember if you bought it brand new or not?!

What is re tech sped regarding HP & torque?!

coopersim · 09-17-2011, 12:17 PM

Looks amazing!

Maybe a bit of clear vinyl wrap over that panel to protect it from scuffs? (As long as it's not airbag related!)

dxb335d · 09-17-2011, 12:32 PM

Having read more of the first page rather than first time round looking at "just" the pics, I've sorta worked out you bought it rand spankah!!

How much she set ya back?!

Bit of an anathema, and probably heresy to the Porker hardcore, but what a car and without the expensive running costs!

I love the panamera but it's a bit of a marmite car, your the right though the diesel is a great option as you don't have the high fuel/insurance costs plus the road tax is cheap. Much cheaper than a rapide and thats even if you go for a turbo!

Oli, it's a hit the go on the stalk and then stop it on 9.11, it's not easy and it will drive you mad when you keep missing it :-)

Carlos, its 385bhp with 400nm but bear in mind its power to weight is 271 bhp so she is pretty nippy :-) she is brand new.

I found the thing will was on about so I should be able to keep it away from the back of the seat

Set me back a few pennies

dxb335d · 09-17-2011, 01:33 PM

It only weighs just over 1400kg approx then to achieve 275HP/ton!! That's why she is so quick. I mean 0-100 in 9 odd seconds with only 385HP is going some. I would have thought it would be mid 10's! Even so still ballistic!

Yep 1425kg, 271bhp per ton. Official porka figures are 0-100 in 9.3 and 0-62 in 4.3, this is with sport plus on.

What do you guys reckon, will the Carrera S be faster than a e92 M3 on track?

Not sure but I'll happily come second in the classy 911

996 c4s is a great car although the engines are a little fragile. As you say the 997 interior is nicer and the new 911 is even nicer.

Really
The body still looks hot in the pics above

I have no idea but i would have either car

Jam786 · 09-17-2011, 05:05 PM

Lovely car mate ! I love to own one oneday . Working very hard towards one : ) enjoy !

dxb335d · 09-17-2011, 06:35 PM

I am not sure on circuit times. But it must be a shit handling car if the 911 is slower around a track when it's 2 seconds faster accelerating to 100mph than the M3.

I'm sure the 911 is quicker!!

misterS3 · 09-20-2011, 05:52 AM

Great looking car.

Great write up and kudos for hitting 9.11 on the chrono

creepy coupe · 09-20-2011, 05:58 AM

She's a beauty Scott, I'd like to know the deal you got? PM me if don't mind?

Bungle009 · 09-20-2011, 06:03 AM

C2S should be a little faster than C4s. Its not carrying 50kg+ worth of 4wd hardware around, that only really assists in the initial launch, then is just excess baggage with associated increased drivetrain losses. C2S every day of the week if I ever get the opportunity.

gangzoom · 09-20-2011, 06:17 AM

Lovely car

LexS · 09-20-2011, 06:53 AM

Very good choice. Make sure it gets used properly and cared for just the same

Oli · 09-20-2011, 07:02 AM

Still can't get 9:11 on my chrono. When I miss it, I then try and get 9:97! It will happen

Chris100 · 09-20-2011, 08:41 AM

Love it, my dream car also. I will hopefully be in a position to get one when I'm due for a change in 2 years.
