Its a true story that occured to me:

I had just driven in my 997 C2S when a friend and owner of a modena 360 spider comes to visit. My porsche had only 2200 kms and his spider about 4000.

we race and play. from standstill i was faster till about 60 kms. up to 100 kms he pulled next to me. to 120 i was quickere again and from there he pulls away. must note that his car has f1 tranny and mine tiptronic.

we both had stability control on. ferraris suspension feels softer than porsches but feels smoother when entering the bends. it has more body roll too. porshes suspension feels firmer and more solid.

well, thats the good news so far.
a day later he testdrives my 997 and crashes it. repair is estimated at 27,000 euro.

he leaves me his ferrari for ten days only to come for another visit and crash that one too. repair estimate ? 70,000 euro.

porsche you bolt the parts on and off. ferrrai is all welded aluminium so very man hour consuming.

luckily he is my dealer who already ordered me a new 997 cabrio that is finished production and awaiting shipment.

cool ?
