PSM won't help you at or after the moment of impact.

True quote from the 996 manual:

"The increased control that is provided should not induce you to take greater risks with your safety. The limits dictated by the laws of physics cannot be overcome, even with PSM."

you know this phrase has been thrown around a lot on this forum. I really think it's a Fable.

will someone please take a screen shot of the ACTUAL manual with that phrase in there? I looked over my 996 MY03 manual and couldnt find that.


Nor the "all porsches are red-lined on the autoban before being sold as new" or however the saying goes.

And she's done it again.

Personally I don't think I would even class it as an incident though.

Same car my ****.

Shame the journalist can't tell the difference between a 911 and a Panamera - well, can't blame him, they were both black.

I'd give her a rear ender... well, if she put a bag over her head.
