Old and New Porsche 911

That's for sure. I once drove on the highway in a 992, and when I stepped on the accelerator pedal to accelerate, I was surprised at how much acceleration it gave me. I was so surprised by the acceleration that I felt a little scared.Oh, my God! It's so amazing even though it's bare! You don't need a turbo or GT3 for this!I couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry.

The handling on the pass is also extremely precise, not quite GT3, but close to it.

My husband also has this to say.

I mean, 911 development...Every time, there's a part of it that's made with the air-cooled Porsche owner very much in mind.I guess. I think the target of development is always the old 911, not a competitor's car.
Some air-cooled Porsche owners have been known to say, "After water-cooling, a modern Porsche is not a Porsche.I think there are people who say, "I want to make a 911 that these people will approve of.
I feel it especially strongly about this 992.I feel something like an obsession from the car.
I think they built it with the idea of how to bring the air-cooled Porsche back to the modern age under today's strict environmental and safety regulations.
In fact, as far as looks, runs, and sounds go, it feels air-cooled.
Having owned a 964, a GT3, a Panamera, a Boxster, a Cayenne, and many others, and having experienced a variety of old and new 911s, I think it's safe to say that the 911 is a great car.The 992 is an ultra-high-performance sports car that Porsche is serious about making, and it can be declared a true 911.

I see. I see.

Perhaps the "992 is not funny.I think that people who are "a car person" are people who are attracted to cars that have some quirks, that are not always the way they want them to be, or that are not perfect, and who find it interesting to drive them.

So for those people, 992 may be too honorable and not enough.

By the way, I personally don't like people who smell dangerous, so I also don't like those cars.(What are you talking about?)

In that sense, the 992 is aIt was the most driven Porsche I've ever had the pleasure of driving, and it drove the way I wanted it to.Very enjoyable.

When driving, there is no fear of "Oh, it moves like this! and the power feel is just right and the performance is high, allowing the driver to fully trust the car and drive with confidence.

I'm sure there are pros and cons about this, as it's partly a matter of personal taste, but at least in my family, we've always been able to say, "I'm not a fan."The 992 is an ultra-high performance sports car and quite satisfyingThey have settled on the conclusion that "the

    Nice to meet you. I always enjoy reading your articles.
    I have been playing with a 993 early season 6MT for 8 years now.
    I am one of those air-cooled drivers who stopped going to the dealer at some point after seeing the increasingly comfortable 911s, but after seeing your husband's impressions, I want to try the 992. The meter design and body panels are both designed with air-cooling in mind, and I feel it would be disrespectful to the developers to make assumptions before I even drive it.

      Thank you for visiting our blog.

      >It has been 8 years since I started playing with my early 993 6MT.
      Oh yes! Looks like a lot of fun...!
      I imagine that after 8 years of ownership, the flavor must have deepened even more.

      992, please take a test drive.
      I say to my husband, "Of course, air-cooling has its advantages.
      The old, old cell phones are nice and tasteful and easy to use, but the performance of the latest iPhones is like a crazy amazing thing.
      If you're interested in the latest technology, I think you'll have a lot of fun.

    It is nice to meet you. I always look forward to your updates.
    I am particularly interested in 992 and would appreciate any useful information.
    I am afraid this has nothing to do with this article, but I would like to ask a question.
    How do you feel about the impact of the 992 stepping stones? How do you feel about it?
    Also, I saw the article about the GT3 having protection film, has it been applied to the 992 Carrera Cabriolet?
    If you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.
    Please do not hesitate to contact us.

      How do you feel about the impact of the >992 stepping stones? How do you feel about it?
      I asked my husband about the 992 stepping stones.
      So far, I haven't had any stepping stones. And the 992 is not a car I bought with the intention of driving it for the rest of my life.
      I thought maybe someday I'd let it go... so I didn't put any protection film on it."
      He said.
      (He bought the GT3 because he was ready for it to last a lifetime, so he put a film on it.)
      Sorry, I hope this is the right response....

    Hello.
    Thank you for your reply.
    It doesn't seem to get many stepping stones.
    The film seemed to be a thought for the car, which made sense.
    I look forward to more blog updates from you!

    I have been enjoying reading your blog since the other day, but I was wondering if it is possible to set it so that when you return to a past blog, you do not return to the most recent page in the blog list, but instead return to the page in the blog list where you were at the time you read it.

    I have never heard of this website before and would love to read many of the fun past articles, but I keep going back to the latest list every time, so I have not been able to read through them.

    I would appreciate it if you could make your past blogs easier to read.

    Also, reading the article here made me want to go to Ashiu once, even though it is a bit far.
    I used to go MTB riding in the mountains again....
    I look forward to meeting you.

      And thank you so much for taking the time to read our past articles!

      Sorry for the complication...!
      If you press the home button or the title of "Porsche Came to Our House," it will take you back to the most recent list.
      If you are on a computer, press the back button "←" that appears at the top of the computer screen, or
      If you are on a cell phone, you can return to the previous list by pressing "<" at the bottom of the screen.
      (Oh, I see. When you open a blog post, if you select "Open in New Tab," you can read through the various posts without changing the previous list screen.)

      Ashiyari, please visit us if you have a chance ^^.
      My husband goes on Sunday mornings when the weather is nice and there seems to be a lot of sports cars there every week.
      We look forward to continuing to work with you!

    Thanks for the reply.

    Is it just my environment?
    No matter which browser I use, firefox.edge.Crome, if I jump to the first 37 pages of the list of new blogs, look at the post, and then press "Back ←", it takes me back to the " 1" page of the list of new posts.

    For the time being, I will view the link in "Open Link in New Tab".

    Thank you very much.

    Nice to meet you, I've been researching 911's for about 2 months now and came across this blog and ordered my first Porsche, a 992 Carrera in Aventurine Green Metallic. I'm waiting for the production quota to be decided, but it looks like it will be in May. I also found your information on how to choose options very helpful. I'm learning a lot! Please keep up the good work.

      Nice to meet you and thank you for your comment!

      >I ordered a 992 Carrera in Aventurine Green Metallic, which will be my first Porsche.
      Oh yes!!! Congratulations!!!
      Can't wait very much now!
      I am glad this blog has been of some help.
      Thank you for your continued support ^^.

    Nice to meet you. When I was struggling with specifying a 992 Cabriolet 4S, I saw this blog and used it as a reference, or even a copycat.
    The car will be delivered next week, and my wife gave me her permission to buy it right away thanks to my decision to choose Aventurine Green Metallic for the exterior color and Two-tone Leather, Black Mojave Beige for the interior color (lol).

    Also, when I was driving the 981 Boxster GTS, I think I took lessons with the master in the group with him at the 2016 and 2017 PDE. Maybe...
    Anyway, looking forward to more of your blogs in the future!

      Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
      Congratulations!

      You are a fellow aventurine green ^^^!
      It is a calm 911, chic, and will never get old.

      I tell my husband.
      I'd love to have a 911 Cabriolet 4S! I want one too!"
      He said enviously (laugh).

      >I believe you and your husband took lessons in the same group together at the 2016 and 2017 PDE when you were driving the 981 Boxster GTS again.
      Er, yes! We have so many things in common.
      If we meet again somewhere, please let us know.

    Problem solving in engineering is mostly about substantive problem solving, not comparisons with others, so I think Porsche's philosophy is roughly like this

    It is a saga of the science brain that, whether designing a car or driving a car, we have to think about how to analyze the entity and how to approach it by what means, and how to make the best of the situation.

    Solving our own problems is getting over ourselves, but I think the worst thing we can do is to look below ourselves and forget our own problems.

    Manufacturing is a science and technology that confronts entities, but market domination is about crushing competitors, so the management principles are absolutely different from company to company!
    It is only natural that a company that is only interested in market domination and crushing competitors cannot make interesting cars.

      I see...I thought that manufacturing is really deep.

      >It is only natural that a company that is only interested in market domination and crushing competitors cannot make interesting cars.
      Indeed...! The company's philosophy is reflected in its manufacturing!
      I'm learning...!
      I would like to learn from his attitude of not wavering, sticking to his guns, and going beyond himself to make things even better.
