997 C2S, first time Porsche drive, lifetime memory!
Discussion
Hey all, might get lynched by my fellow TVR owners for posting over here on 'the dark side' as it were, but just felt I should share my experiences of a 997 C2S I had for the weekend.
Thanks to doing a favour for a friend of mine (who also happens to be the sales manager of a Porsche main Dealer), I was lent this weekend a beautiful, black 997 C2S with only 250 miles on the clock!
It was a PDK equipped car, and as you can imagine was absolutely stunning.
On Sunday, I took the car for a thrash over the North Yorkshire moors with a group of friends, and I think it's fair to say we all left that day with a memory non of us will forget.
One of my passengers, an ex-biker, commented that he couldn't get over that he was travelling in a car, which had the performance of a motorbike.
My greatest impression was that it's a car which shook my belief that there weren't any modern cars made which still had a 'soul'.
The car to me seemed like the perfect compromise, fairly practical, very easy to live with when in 'normal' mode and the PDK box in full auto, and yet capable at the touch of a button to turn into a razor sharp hugely involving supercar.
I have vowed that someday (probably ten years!) I shall own one.
I was gutted having to hand it back today, but so very grateful for the experience.
I have always admired 911s, but now I really 'get' it
