997.1 Porsche 911 Carrera Review

Great info, thanks!

So the slow in fast out thing is a 911 thing regardless of 2 or 4 wheel drive.

How do you feel about the “BMW wiggly back end mid corner throttle” thing? That’s probably one of the most enjoyable things about driving for me which I missed in the 911. Funny enough that concept freaked my friend out who much prefers no wiggles to speak of

Not talking about traction off, crazy angle drifts or anything like that by the way, just little adjustments that you can control with your right foot even with everything turned on (and a front end that never stops gripping).

I don't know the BMW wiggly thing you refer too...

Last time I felt that was in my E36 cabrio - it was called scuttle shake...

My wife's f30 is xdrive and I dont drive it that much. Before the panamera I had an X5 40d, X5 30d and a hateful E93 320i.

On the whole, BMW suspension is too stiff.. large wheels tramline and the cars above aren't the kind you typically hustle...

My brother has a z4 back in around 05 and even that would shake the teeth out of your head on a backroad and oh my God did it tramline....

Yep Z4 is the stiffest ride of any car I’ve ever been in, and tramlines like crazy with the run flats, as you say the other models are not the for the twisty B roads.

If you have some time, let’s meet up and go for a drive in the e92 and I’ll be happy to oblige

I have 18" non-RFT's on ours and while it is still stiff, the waywardness is much reduced. I had it on RFT's for a while and it was a bit skittish!
