Assuming most 911s are leased,  why wouldn't you drive it all year around?

i've always had a soft spot in my heart for the 911...however, if i had the money to afford this, i'm afraid i might get an RS7 instead...that is one fantastic car AND its practical (relatively speaking, of course).

Great article Jonathan. Just one nitpick.

Quote
Further aiding stability are Porsche’s myriad electronic safety systems, the most brilliant of which is PASM, Porsche Active Stability Management. At various times, it offered simply the slightest nudge of braking to the necessary wheel to keep a slide from going past the point of no return, so simply continuing your natural steering responses kept everything at pace without shutting down power and losing momentum completely.

I think you are referencing Porsche Stability Management (PSM) here, which is the traction/yaw control system. PASM refers to the adaptive suspension system (variable valve shocks). Porsche has too many similar acronyms for very different systems.

Just out with my friend ( we both drove my car -- since he has a '67 targa) and I must say my car is more beautiful
than this white 911 4S.

In the eye of the beholder.  I think the accordion bumpers are silly looking for starters.  I don't mind the new 4S and would gladly replace my 1986 Targa with it.

This image was attached to an email I received from the Porsche dealer. That rear is a big departure from any 911 I have seen.
