Traded my 2007 Z06 for a 2009 997 Turbo with 30K miles, I love the car! having never driven a 997 Turbo, I have the following question:
When I coast to stop at about 10mph, I feel a "bump" (for lack of a better description) comming from the engine bay, can someone shed some light? Thanks!

Is it a manual or Tiptronic? If it is a Tip, it will downshift as it slows and you may be feeling that?

Need a better description of the Bump....

I own a 09 997tt what are you trying to ask because there is no bump when slowing down.

There is a normal downshift but no bump associated with that.

Can you give some more details.

thanks for the replies everyone! Coasting to a stop in neutral, the "bump" feels as if going over an expansion joint, but on a smooth road.

Tip or manual?? If it's a 6 speed, you might have a failing tranny mount. Could even be a loose sway bar mount.

Pics or no advice.....

What about under hard acceleration anything?

When slowing is it always at the same speed by chance?

Want to thank everyone that responded. Toook the car to my mechanic, he didnt find anything wrong, and now no "BUMP" Perhaps I have "Newbie Syndrome"

Wait, I have a 997 TT and when I slam the throttle I get this smile on my face, but when I realize I'm smiling, I'm cresting 117mph. What can I do to fix this issue ?

Why do you stop so soon

I had a 2008 z06. I liked it but was tired of driving a manual car where I live now. Maybe if the z06 would have had hill assist feature like the new corvettes and other new cars would have kept it. I will probably pick up a c7 z06 in a couple of years but would like to keep a 911 turbo in my permanent stable.

I like my 2007 911 turbo tiptronic quite a bit. Its pretty fast even in stock form. So far have only put a bmc air filter on it. I do plan to get a Europipe 1 hopefully this year and maybe also do a tune at same time. Maybe some headers down the road as well but not going to go crazy on the mods..

Anyway enjoy your new toy.

Hi Sal,
@Ssandoval
It seems like I found your car for sale! Since the dealership owns the car, would recommend me purchasing this car, or does it have any known problems?
