Astonmartin Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Easier to drive quickly , the front end on the 996 took some getting used to ,similar performance which figures as they are near identical weight and power , I am only using as weekend toy so will take some time to to discover its limits , made my business car feel like like driving a settee.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Very nice, leather dash too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMC Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Nice wheels, and the wheels too! They look sort of minilite-ish. Do you know their model name? What's with the profile name? A previous folly perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't have it and i've got 19s on mine and even harder suspension so IMO, no! I was just wondering, most say you need PASM for 19s to be acceptable ride quality, but I don't but it personally. It's a lovely looking car by the way, a little bit individual which is nice to see. Be good (like the others have said) if you can make it down to the meet at the end of the month.

DJMC Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Ah....PASM... the No.1 "chance" option on my car. It'd be my No.1 option on a future Porsche too. Mine are 20" and it glides... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
