Yes, the HP is down slightly, but for it to be 3 mph slower in quarter mile doesnt make sense.

I have owned several 911s, and several Caymans and do feel like the Porsche's mid-engine chassis is as good as it gets across any manufacturer to build one. That said, I absolutely love the way a 911 drives and breaks away. It feels incredibly good.

As a "new" 911 owner (2009) it is taking some getting used to. The front end feels a little floaty, maybe not the right word but if I enter a corner fast i can subtly feel the the front gain and lose traction, whole car "wiggles" a bit. It's subtle but it is there. Then on the gas, I keep thinking "this is too much gas" but grip, more grip and ....... grip. Just so much grip.
The car clearly communicates it's experience though, not so much in one's arse but you feel it through the steering wheel, you can definitely read the car through the steering wheel. Hard to explain. Now my PZERO's are 7 years old and nearly half worn so suspect a new set of PS4s will maybe alter things a tad. |

Agree 1000%
Screw the tire manufacturers recs, and the car maker. Chance of bias (profit). Consumer reports: https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/...ires/index.htm Shawn |

After doing a full 360 without leaving the road surface, I understand the polar moment of inertia MUCH better. 914, low moment. 718, normal moment. Shawn |

I would be very careful doing any high performance driving on those tires. 7 years old is a long time when they are already worn. Tires are the one thing you should never skimp on, it's the only thing connecting you to the road. Porsche won't CPO tires older than 6 years, Ferrari won't CPO them older than 4 years. There's a reason for that. You should be able to get a set of PS4S through Costco for around $1200-ish installed.

PS$s for $1200?? Even in USD that is a pipe dream. Best offer I have had, installed, balanced, disposal fees etc is $2,100 all in including taxes. |

I’m in the US yes, no idea what things cost in Canada. I recently did a set of PS4S for my FF which has larger tires and it was $1800 including taxes and install. I’d think an older 911 should be $1200-1500 range here.
