My husband came home from work the other day.I knew it. 964.(air-cooled 911)is funny. rr is really funny.I sat on the couch and mumbled sullenly, "I'm sorry. When I said, "I mean, how many times do you say that line? I've said it so many times it's funny.My husband said, "No, I don't think so." and he began to talk passionately about air-cooling.
The 964 is totally different from taking off the gas pedal in the middle of a curve and turning while stepping on the gas pedal. The sense of stability is totally different. What is this?unique to RRIt really is like a motorcycle. I don't see that much difference in the Boxster.
And. Sure...air-cooled doesn't turn well when you try to turn a curve or corner somehow. Properly.You have to drive the car and breathe with it.I have a feeling. My husband continued.
I think the 964 is a car that runs on the gas pedal.Depending on the driver's gas pedal work, driving can be 20 or 100 points.When you're driving a standard car, you don't have to be that conscious of the accelerator, but with air-cooling, you don't.Gas pedal work is really important.
He said.
My husband gets to drive a MT car a lot.I am usually aware of subtle gas pedal work.I hear that, but I don't think about that kind of thing in my daily driving. In my case, I only think about whether I should step on the gas pedal or pull off the gas pedal.I need to learn more subtle gas pedal work.He often points out, "I'm not a fan of this.
My husband started talking about air-cooling, and the momentum didn't stop after that.
When you're going around a curve on air-cooledStiff spring sinks in slowly.I feel as if it is a bit like an air-cooled car. In the case of the Boxster, when it goes around a curve and leans, it just steps on it and stays on it, but the air-cooledYou can feel the spring slowly contracting, so you know exactly how far you can go.I know. But if you go over the limit, it's dangerous because it's RR.
He was emphatic about it. I see.
While it's fun to drive an air-cooled 911 down a winding road or country road, it's not as much fun to drive an air-cooled 911 down a winding road or country road.
964 is aEven changing lanes on the highway is a lot of fun.Oh, man. It's really nice to see him change lanes so quickly and easily, just like a "mizu-sumashi" (a Japanese word for "water bug"). The last time I gave him the "Why We Love PorscheIn the book "TheThe Porsche is a car that, when you want to interrupt it there, it's there at that moment.I think the phrase "the world is a big place," is exactly right.
It moves differently from the Boxster, I guess. That's why when I ride air-cooled, I feel like changing lanes for no reason.
My husband said.
Indeed, when I changed lanes while driving on the highway with air-cooling, I was amazed at how quickly I could change lanes as if I were skating. The car is small and old.When I steer at high speed, it looks scary and bumpy.I was even more surprised because I had initially thought, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do this.
Also, not related to the main topic, but my husband often says, "Mizusumashi, Mizusumashi.I wonder if a water strider is like a water strider.I looked it up on the Internet and saw a picture that resembled a "cockroach," and I thought to myself, "Wow! That's disgusting! and closed the page without examining it thoroughly.
I'm still not a fan of insect-based products.（What are you talking about?)
The analog aspect of air-cooling is also an attraction.
Five air-cooled meters are super.I'm really enjoying driving with the engine. It is really fun to check the condition of the engine while looking at the oil level, oil pressure, and oil temperature. I can't wait to see how the engine is doing.When the oil is warmed up, the engine will change its tune.I can feel the "I" in my hand. It feels like a living thing, and the sensation of having it run in my hands is super fun. I can't experience anything like this anywhere else.
And.
I know this may be a little off topic, but I'mI took piano lessons from a young age until I was a college student.I had a lot of friends who were learning to play the electone, but I still preferred the analog piano. Many of my friends were learning to play the electone, but I still preferred the analog piano.
The loudness, softness, hardness, and nuance of the sound changes completely depending on the strength and speed with which the keys are pressed. The sound quality changes on a humid day or a sunny day, and it also depends on the skill of the person who tunes the notes. Such "I wonder if the analog quality of the piano is quite similar to the appeal of air-cooling.I was listening to my husband's story, thinking, "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing.
I'm the one who said, "But I wonder if that can't be experienced with the current 911. I wonder if it is a feeling that can only be experienced with air-cooling, even though it is the same RR.When my husband asked, "What do you mean?
Well...Now with the 911, oil temperature and oil pressure are constant.I wonder. The performance is better, and it is easier to drive. Oil temperature and oil pressure rarely go up and down while driving on ordinary roads, which is probably due to the air-cooling.
I said. I see.
Last September.World harmonized test method for exhaust emission and fuel consumption (WLTP)was enacted, and in response, Porsche had announced that it would temporarily suspend new orders in the UK in order to make improvements to its vehicles. In addition, theBMW also discontinued M3 (F80)orGolf R, for example, would lose about 10 hp.It seems that other manufacturers are also affected.
(*Reference article.(Porsche temporarily suspends new orders in the U.K. to comply with WLTP, the new fuel economy test method.)＊Power of VW Golf R reduced from 310 to 300ps for WLTP compliance.)
I understand that the 911 GT3 Touring my husband ordered this time is on a ship manifest right now.
Cars that will be released in the EU after September 2018, such as the 992, Boxster T, and Panamera GTS in the case of Porsche, will also have exhaust systems to comply with the regulation.Gasoline particulate filters (GPF)The first one is installed with a
I am sure that Porsche will make sure that the performance and sound will not be affected, but if the emission regulations are so tightened, there will be no need for cars with engines that produce a pleasant sound and "noisy" cars in the future.Manual GT3 with 500 hp NA engine.I wonder if it will be so easy to sell the "I'm not sure...
My husband was pouting.
As earthlings, we areIt is very important to care for the global environmentSo, it is inevitable that cars will become more and more hybrid and electric. Therefore, it is inevitable that more and more cars will be hybrids and electric vehicles. But on the other hand, the number of cars that allow me to feel the pleasure of driving them myself will probably decrease rapidly.
In this sense, I would like to take good care of my air-cooled 911 (964C2) and my NA 981 Boxster GTS (MT) for a long time.(I almost never drive a Boxster, though.)
