if you can find someone you can trust to drive your car, tail it in another car. Watching the rear wing automatically come up when picking up speed and then go down on braking is truly a treat i did that the othe day with my wife driving the 911.

Clarkson's Top Gear review of the 2005 C2S where he claims his knee hits the seat memory around turns is a pure fabrication for laughs. The seat memory functions are disabled when traveling over a few miles an hour.

Hi guys, new to the forum, just bought an '08 997.1. It didn't come with any owners manuals, so everything is new to me.
Tell me something I should know about the car that a person wouldn't be able to know without being a avid 997 lover.
For example, using BMW as an example: If you hold the unlock button on the key fob long enough the Windows will go down (when unlocking the car).
The radio is particularly baffling. Pushing the Preset Button it toggles through, don't hold this against me, A, B and AS or something like that. After locking in a station the display sometimes indicates the station call letters and sometimes it doesn't???

Probably the same thing as airspeed and groundspeed on an airplane. Indicated is the speed relative to the road. Actual is the speed relative to the air. When the wind is blowing the two are different. Makes sense since as an aerodynamic component the wing only cares about speed relative to the air.
