Yes, it's easy to enjoy. Have no fear. But will you do 150mph on the Col de Tende ? No.
I'd disagree a little with MMD - even at 55mph or 60 mph I can have a great time on the country roads in upstate NY - little or no other traffic, twisting roads, etc. I'd wager that I can have as much or more fun there than doing 180 on an autobahn.

PORSCHE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
agreed. RThat or PCA driver's ed locally, It took me along time to make the call (to Driver Ed), I kicked myself for putting it off. Porsche Driving Experience would probably be 10 times better.

I didnt like the pump action tooo much of going up and down, but 1500 or so for power seats seems kind of high, but necessary IMO.

Can sometimes be hard to get that driving position "just right", (and esp useful for those whose cars seem to be in the shop a lot)

Ken, if you want something really fast around the bends and built like a true sportscar should be (like the CGT), get a Boxster.
Definitely easier and more forgiving and more immediately fun to drive. Boxster would be nice with at least 300HP. Until then the 911 is the easy choice for certain people.

WOW! thanks for all you're great insight. Just as a side note I went yesterday 03-30-05 to Rusnak Porsche in Thousand Oaks California. I went there and asked questions about the Std seats, vs sport, vs adaptive. I sat in a 987 with std seats. I didnt like the pump action tooo much of going up and down, but 1500 or so for power seats seems kind of high, but necessary IMO. Anyway, theyre so pompous ass there its unbelieveable. I didnt even want to ask for a test drive seeing theyd probably turn upside down about it. Im going to Cutter Porsche in Santa Barbara this weekend for a test drive theyre really responsive and aggressive when it comes to pricing their cars and dealing with their customers. Funny thing at Rusnak, I asked what kind of deals they were offering for the new 997S. The salesman replied, what deals?? How much off msrp will you give me to earn my business?? He replied, we offer cars at msrp, and he gave me the song and dance how others are charging up to 5000 over msrp. This and for many other reasons why I will never buy from Rusnak Porsche in Thousand Oaks, please avoid them at all costs.
