While taking the trash out at work I walked by the general manager of the dealership washing his 911 Carrera S in one of the wash bays. I struck a quick convo about the car and next thing I know he tosses me the keys. He even dropped the top so I could 'get the full effect'. I took it out for a quick 10 minute test drive and it was amazing! What a car!! Everyone at work was in awe that he handed me the keys, so was I!

Not his but this is it. He also owns a 928 S4.

Wow! I'm jealous! That's sweet though he trusted you to drive it. I don't trust anyone but my girl to drive my 240, definitely wouldn't let anyone drive my 911! I also want to know what Pento asked.

What you tell your boss is that you liked it but there is a slight shimmy at 130mph. :bigthumb:

My FAVORITE Porsche. They look amazing, sound amazing, and drive amazing. Most Porsche fans hate them because they're "not proper Porsches" which is exactly the same reason I love them.

It handled the curves with no effort at all. I didn't go too hog wild but we do have a nice s-curve up the road from the dealership. On the straight it has some nice get-up-and-go that took me by surprise. Over 4k it becomes a rocket totally throwing me back in the seat, well as far back as a Porsche seat will allow. I felt secure and stable, no leaning, no slouching, you sit in a upward position which gives you good reach of all the controls. I had it up to 75mph in no time flat. I didn't catch my highest speed because I was too focused on the road and traffic around me, bosses car you know?
