    "a stepping stone between a Boxster and a 911"? It's the same car but just not a convertible! As for the the "straight six" description, I really wonder who writes this rubbish.

    I live close to this road and have driven it many times over the years in lots of different cars, but over the last couple of years in my Porsche 981 Boxster S. You really can keep within an average speed of 50mph and have lots of fun in one of the best handling mid-engined cars ever!!! 😀👍🏻

    Small correction: PASM lowers the car by 10mm compared to base suspension, but it's static. All the damper button does is stiffen the shocks. Great video and I've been blessed to experience my stock 06 Cayman S on similar roads and at Laguna Seca. Very enjoyable and communicative driving experience indeed. Just a shame the engine's oiling system isn't up for track duties.

      How about the gear shifting? Is it as responsive as modern pdk? And do I need to move the gear knob to S mode to use the stock gear shifters

  • @theofficialstig
    @theofficialstig 3 года назад +15

    there are average speed cameras limiting you to 50mph
    which is still fast for such twisty roads but it makes you paranoid and spoils the fun
    it's better in the wet because you feel like a rally driver on the edge at fully legal speeds

    • @a64738
      @a64738 26 дней назад

      Just drive fast, take a long break then drive fast again :) Here I use the places with speed cameras to do speeding because it is pretty much 100% no chance they are doing manual speed control where there is speed cameras (and the cameras so easy to see that you must be blind to be trapped by one...)

    PASM lowers the car with or without the button press. PASM is active with or without the button pressed. When press it stiffer for track use. The sport button makes a big difference to throttle response for sure. It makes it feel faster form acceleration in every gear. PASM allows for 19” wheels and still feels comfortable to drive, put 19” on a none PASM and it feels way to stiff and uncomfortable.

    Public roads are not race tracks. Maybe Scotland yard needs to investigate this footage. He almost crashed to another vehicle unless that was their own scripted oncoming car.
    Like Carbuyer, Carkeys and What car do way more informative and interesting car videos. Instead of a reckless driving. This sort of nonsense is so out of date.

    • @michaelwbsin
      @michaelwbsin 3 года назад +15

      The whole point of this video is to show driving can be enjoyable at everyday legal speeds -- and that's exactly what he did here. I didn't see any reckless driving from Tiff; rather, another car pulled into the main road without checking for traffic.

    • @aneildavis
      @aneildavis 3 года назад +3

      Correct, however, first this video is 12 years old, and secondly, he makes it clear that he does not exceed the speed limit. As an ex professional driver, he knows what he is doing.
