A day with a 997S cabrio
Hello to everybody,
Today I could test a 997S cabrio from my dealer.....they are being good to me in the agony of waiting for my coupé until july.....
I'm not expirienced with cabrios, but the fact is that I have been very surprised with this creature.
I was expecting a sort of sensation of "non confideence" if pushing a bit the car to the limit, due it's condition of "cabrio".
Nothing further from reallity.....
The car gave me a very confident sensation in any case.
In the highway and in the very twisted and complicated roads in "La Costa Brava". In some moments I really pushed the car, and, despite "open", I felt as confident as in a coupé.
Perfectly isolated from the exterior even having the "open" sensation. A bit difficult to describe!
Just my 2 cents: The 997S is, maybe a bit short in HP, but shurely an absolute machine of precission.
In it's cabrio version and with a non used to it's sensations driver such as me, it gives a lot of confidence going pretty fast in really very twisted and narrow roads.... It negotiates curves in a such efficient way!
The "unit" was equipped with the Bose sound system....please excuse me, but I did not like the sound in general (maybe due to the radio signal???), in spite I tryied hard to balance it properly.
In any case, a fantastic expirience....Can't imagine how it will be with the -20mm, PSE, PCCB.......very difficult to wait....
Thanks Porsche and my dealer to give me the opportunity of having such a nice day, and you for reading my comments (I'm a very bad reporter!)
.....the problem is...I'm seriously considering an "extra" Boxter (This is economical ruin!)! I also love since today the "open air"!
