To OP: You do realize that the Porsche 911 has a really great history as a dirt road rally car. Just go down the gravel road really fast and the rocks will fly out the back and not touch anything! Seriously, what do you think in your mind will happen? And how do you get down that road now? I'm not saying it's a Jeep, but come on......

I drove mine on I-88 Apache Trail for 30 miles total. It drivers like any other car, only bumpier. Drive slow (30-35 MPH) and you will be fine. Avoid any loose rocks and SLOW down to 10-15MPH for washboard areas.

I took my Acura through Prescott Rally dirt stages last year. As a street car it did just fine, fastest I went was 75MPH and it was a blast.
