We have the same car. Sports Chrono?

PSE turned always on? thats the key thing to do :)

SSK? also essential :)

I've had cabrio's since 1999 and wouldnt have it any other way.

Lots of people still say "ohhh but it flops around like a fish with no roof", not realising the 997 was designed as a cabrio, so it doesnt......

Yes it's got Sports Chrono but I've not done the SSK

And I never drive it hard ......honestly :floor:

Get one of the cheapo SSK kits from ebay, they're about £25 or £30. Brilliant upgrade. Mines fine about 3 years later :)
 
I like cabs, but not good for me as I need the occasional rear seats and the rears in the cab are a bit upright . :thumb:

I can't disagree, but I'm pretty short at 5"6 and can sit upright in the back of my cab, but in a 992 coupe I have to crouch as there's not enough headroom. I assume none of the earlier coupes are any taller.

I conclude that for a short person, the Cab is more comfortable in the rear despite the slanted seats. Except if you're doing 100mph plus that is :grin:
 
My mate Dave is over 6ft and doesn't have a problem in the back seats. He does resemble a praying mantis when in there though.
 
Vroom!

I drove convertible cars for approximately 17 years different makes before I bought a 911 coupe, I still wouldn't mind a convertible again this thread makes you want one.
I've always liked the contrast of the Porsche lines with fabric hoods, some nice cars on here.
Driving convertibles I gauged the correct temperature to 19 - 20 degree C as just about perfect, not to hot & not to cold, that's the best time to have it off :grin:
 
The ultimate car for hey days and holidays. But currently hibernating!

Can't wait until all this rain stops! Nothing quite like a top down run with PSE in loud mode!

Agreed! I never thought I'd own a cab, since I've always had a coupe. But for a second car which only comes out on sunny days it really is the best choice, hardly anything in the handling and performance vs the coupes I tested prior to purchase. Currently hibernating in a dry Carcoon bubble waiting for its spring time service in April.
