Title: new 911
Post by: MAT ED30 on July 19, 2011, 08:50:19 pm

And this 911 is very new indeed: new monocoque, longer wheelbase, enlarged engines, electro-mechanical steering, and a seven-speed manual gearbox

7 speed manual  :party:

7 gears in a manual box is too many IMO :stupid:

Never driven a 911, my mate works for Porsche though and he got sent to Silverstone to test drive the range  :drool:


He also was given a 'job' by his manager...keys, fuel card to a 911 GT3RS and got told to go run it in and get some miles on it.
