I think you will have fun but good luck with finding a fast group.

Did the 2 day performance course in July, it was a blast, will be doing the 2day master course in the spring. There is plenty of track time in the 991 S and did Launch Control in Turbo as well. Stilling smiling from experience. The Porsche experience roadshow is like a Sunday drive compared to two aggressive days at the Porsche Sport Driving School in Leeds, AL.

I don't think it will matter - the Chicago Roadshow is in a large parking lot, so speeds aren't ever going to get that high.

I'm doing the 2-day Performance Driving Course held at Barber Racing in Birmingham, AL on Nov. 5-6. Anyone else going to be there then?

I'll be at the 2 day performance class Jan 25-26. It would be cool to meet some fellow forum members.
