Hi all, Just thought that I would share my recent experiences of the 997. I bought a 997 C4S cab about 2 months ago... I haven't had that much of an opportunity to drive it though, so went away this weekend, and drove it through the fabulous roads of the Brecon Beacons in Wales.
I was joined by my cousin in his F430 - and although I love the sound of the PSE, I must admit, that Ferrari sounds amazing (especially through tunnels!)
Back to the 997, I have to say it is the best car that I have ever owned! It's a true everyday car, with sports car performance.... Until this weekend, I was unsure about the power of it, but thought that the handling was incredible. In driving the F430, I thought that it felt far quicker, but in actual driving together, the fezza was unable to lose me - in fact the opposite, in one spirited blat through the twisties (all within the speed limits of course!), I left the 430 behind me. Apparently it had been bottoming out, so he had to back off.
I was genuinely in my element during that blast - really felt 'at one' with the car (sounds pathetic - but best way to describe it)...Knew exactly what is was doing, had 100% confidence in it, the 4 wheel drive is actually great fun to play with - I thought it may take away some of the fun, but it actually adds to it!
The 997 simply handles so well - nothing fazed it! I was really surprised even when out on the open straights, that I wasn't getting left behind.
Love it!
