Thanks for posting the video. Her comments are similar to mine when I started tracking the car. But as we get more seat time with the car, we tend to get used to the 'negatives' or learn to mitigate them (e.g., refining use of the brake pedal), while the positives become more apparent and accentuated. As a pro told me, "this car isn't like other 911s". I bet she'll grow to appreciate the car a lot more as she does more laps.

BTW, I don't care how good a driver she is, she needs a HANS with that harness! That ride will get a lot wilder if she hits fluids or blows a tire at 300 kph.

Interesting how she had the sport suspension activated and still found the car too softt.. I heard you must run a slightly soft setting on the nordschleife due to the bumps on the track, so a little surprised she found it soft...
Also, I totally agree for the hans....

She's fun reviewer but really doesnt say much about the car.

I agree youre girlfriend is better looking, Sabine is more of a tomboy look, but I find those big milks and German accent sexxy! Women are like cars, sometimes different ones are interesting, I'd Say Sabine is a 959

I thought that Porsche developed the soft suspension setting for the nordschleife specifically, while the firmer setting is for smooth tracks. Because of this I have to believe that she was talking about the standard brakes specifically, also since she said its soft under braking....

Yes, she experienced the rear end wiggling around under hard braking. The first time that happened to me was at the end of the front straight at Big Willow, kind of scary. As mentioned, takes some time to learn how to mitigate the "fish tailing" Sabine complained about.

Not enough LSD, big wing and suspension compared to her 997.
I think all of us that had a setup 997 will feel the same.
The RS will have more downforce, I wonder if the programmed more LSD in that PTV thing.

the purple one will handle just great.

your not drinking enough...lol

I'm surprised if she were complaining not enough lock up from LSD, cuz I find it pretty good and aggressive.

Maybe she should do a comparison with this guy:



I believe he is 'Manuma' on this forum

Great video!

I was having a conversation with people that know what they're talking about yesterday at the track. Apparently when they've run very detailed data analysis, the view is that the PVT+ in a PDK, which can't be switched off at all, is holding the PDK cars back vs a manual where the PVT can be switched off and a mechanical LSD does all the work.

Don't know if that is what she's feeling vs her RS.

Gawd, what an annoying frau she is!

-More motor in the 991 and it's pretty substantial
-Her 997 RS is lighter, has more rear grip as TRAKCAR said, wing etc.
-As good as our stock 991 suspension is, a proper high end KW set up is better
-She has more corning speed and confidence in the 997
-Do all of the same things to the 991 and it's gone. Like the 991 RS will
