You’d find it hard to do that now. I’ve had a few moments where I’ve been in Sport Mode and gone to overtake someone on a damp road, accelerated a bit too hard, and then the backend has gone out. Even then it’s trivial to bring under control because of the traction control. It’ll let go a bit, but to spin it you’d have to be quite aggressive.
Not that you don’t have to be careful with all that power, but I’d rather be in a (modern) 911 with that power than probably any other powerful car.
It’s a much more refined car these days, its past reputation as a yuppie killer are pretty much done. It even tells you to switch to Wet Mode when it’s raining :D
- jacquesm 3y agoA friend of mine crashed a 911 pretty badly, he rolled out of a parking garage and got hit by a bus that had zero time to brake. He walked away from that without a scratch and I'm still amazed by it two decades later, by rights he should have been hamburger. That chassis is impressive, to say the least.
