Post Cayenne owners in Florida

There is a drivers ed this weekend at Sebring and we are going to be evaluating the performance of Cayenne's, X5's and ML's during one run session just before lunch on Saturday. If anyone would like to volunteer and bring their car for a few laps it would be greatly appreciated. I will compensate you for your time if required. Thanks.

Be advised that Sebring is fairly brutal on brakes. It's a relatively quick track (my 996 got up to 130 mph on the longest straight). Not sure I'd want to take the 5,000 lb Cayenne into that right-hand sweeper.

Jim...Its only for a few laps to determine the elegibility of owners to bring those 3 models to drivers schools. Its a controlled session at no more than 60% of full pace. Just an opportunity to get a feeling of their safety at DE. Ive personally driven a MB S500 at Sebring for an entire weekend. The car was as base as a new S500 gets and had 0 problems. I was hitting 132(limiter) on the bakc stretch in it. I have no doubts about the Cayenne or the X5. The ML however does frighten me a little.

Why on earth did you drive an S500 around Sebring (jk)? I did an event there with Chin Motorsports. It was a little crazy - no run groups - just a free for all. They had everything from a Ford Focus to Forumla 1 cars. Guess that's why that track still makes me a bit nervous.

Sounds reasonable. Where did you place the order for your GT3? Are you working with Reeves in Tampa or somewhere else?

I took the S500 because a guy crashed into my 996 a few days prior. That was the rental I was given. I have my order at the Collection. #3
