You can time travel.

I can't drive 55.
Also, time travel requires a completely stainless steel body to facilitate the flux dispersal. I don't think a 991.2 would work without a complete body kit.

Yeah unless you are driving an armored tank, you'll feel strong side wind

Although OP didn't express it well, of course there is an affect on handling due to cross winds especially at high speeds. The Audi TT was recalled in past and needed modification for this. Not just as simple as surface area exposed to wind either, shape plays a roll (rounded rear end for instance). If you haven't noticed it in a Porsche you weren't paying attention.

I have driven to work in a Smart fortwo for years. When driving the early vintage cars in gusty winds, serious concentration and quick reactions were required to stay in the lane. I often took the long way around to avoid bridges with the most wind exposure. Mercedes added Crosswind Assist to the latest models. It detects the gusts and uses automatic braking and steering to keep the car straight. It works exceptionally well in my experience but my C4S feels like it is on railway tracks compared to the Smart – regardless of the weather. I can’t feel or hear the wind in the Porsche. Can’t say that for the Smart.

Are some of you guys giving the OP a hard time because suspect he's a new user playing the forum? Just wondered because to me it seems obvious that any car will be a bit unstable in cross winds, moreso if the alignment is off. Can't understand lifting though, nor speed limiting.

The OP has started 3 different threads in 3 different sub forums (911, 991, and the DE/Racing) all with the same question. He only has 1 reply in those 3 threads.
