Default *Video* 997.2 Driving on Ice and Snow

I just came back from NH after a weekend of driving on snow and ice with the NAAC winter driving clinic w/ my 2012 C4S with Nokian's on.

What a blast! Really got a feel for the car. Incredible in the snow a testament to the AWD system Porsche has put in these cars.


A LOT of under-steer but extremely predictable and within a few runs i was very comfortable with it.

(Excuse the video editing I didn't really have the patience to make it pretty, and ignore the annoying commentary from bystanders)

I hate you. You're putting that beautiful car through slush, snow and salt. I bet it's not even oil sprayed. Just get an Audi or something, it'll that 911 alive in snow.

Way to go. I'd love to do something like that w/my c2s (currently running its winter setup, by the way).

Not true! NAAC = North American Audi Club
The instructors were astounded by the C4S's performance in the snow! All of them saying it was as good as any quatro. Most of the cars at attendance were quatros.

As for the car, it got a wash and wax immediately after i got home. It is a beautiful car but just a car...
