997 Turbo=Fastest Car I've Ever Driven in EVER!!!

Took the 911 out to Woodward again last night and hung around for a bit. Had to take it back home at 9PM(Dad's rules) and get the ST.

When I got back to the meet. This was there. A very gorgeous Silver 997 Turbo. I was so excited that I parked in a handicapped spot to snap this picture. The Driver was actually someone who I had met a couple weeks back, but never asked about his car, you could only imagine the pure pants-igniting excitement I felt when I saw who was driving it.

He's a very friendly guy and we talked for a bit about the car, and what he's got planned for it. He's already ordered Stage 1 parts for it to bump it up to 600+ Horsepower!(That's 991 Turbo S Power that only cost him about $2200!) He'll have the parts this Tuesday and the next I ride I take in that car will be terrifyingly good! :D

But for now, let's talk about this drive. Sitting in this car, it had more of a "911 feel" than the 991 I was in last month, the interior felt nice and Porsche-like, very comfortable; not so much as a 991 but that's OK because I'm a firm believer in the fact that Porsche shouldn't about luxury and lazy comfort driving, it's a god damn sports car! :P

I liked this interior more than the 991 period!

He took me for a ride up to the gas station and back. The ride is very smooth and just about perfect as any Porsche should be. From the passenger seat, I could tell the handling was excellent. But more important than that, was THE POWER!!!

Such Horsepower, many Torque, so Scare, much Turbo, very Flat, WOW! I felt my stomach go backwards and it felt GOOOD! Raced a Civic too, and gave it a two car head-start...hehehe. All in all, fun was had last night.

Also, this right-hand rive Suzuki showed up last night too, I haven't a clue what it is.

I love the 997. Probably the best modern Porsche interior, IMHO. Very simple, intuitive and without the trendy sloped center console thingy that ruins the 991.

hrrrrnnnngggggg

I don't mind the sloped console actually. It looks nice, but I like the 997 and previous generations better.

I love those Suzuki's! Should be a little 660cc turbo three-cylinder with about 70 horsepower under that scooped hood. Some were awd I believe

Nah, I kid. But you can if you'd like. :p

What year is it? What can you tell me without spoiling the fun surprise?

It's a 1963 with 60 HP.

There aren't many secrets to spill yet because I've only driven it it around the parking lot!

Today was the first time my dad drove it on the freeway. He said it was kind of scary! It's so little and light. He felt like a breeze would tip it over, haha

I'd imagine that it'd be rather scary with a car like that. I know exactly what he means, except I haven't touched the freeway with my dad's nor will I this summer I don't think; unless it's necessary.

I'm actually taking her in for a check-up Wednesday so Oppo will get to see what it's like inside and under the car hopefully! :)
