trackjunkie is infamous around these parts
this thread made me cringe!

thinking of modding a car before you learn how to drive it?!

A tune on a non turbo car?!

going from a stop to 6th gear with just your left foot and cruise control?! really? there is no practical application for this! Going from a stop to rolling with just your left foot is perfect advice.

That way you get a feel for the clutch.

Radgirl Congrats on the 911. But boy did you open a can of worms. I started buying a Boxster for my wife's b-day 3 weeks later I traded it on a 996 Cab, then a year and a half later a 996 coupe and then a year later a 911tt x50. So you are far from done. Enjoy the car, good luck with it and welcome to the family. Oh and by the way a woman driving a 911 very cool.

I do see very few women around here who drive 911's all different models, but when I do it's great to see them drive.

My wife drives my car from time to time. She had a Boxster before I got my X50. She doesn't need help w/ a stick and drives as good or better then most men I have rode w/.

Because we cannot resist the bait and respond to every challenge, we are challenged on nearly every drive. I guess I am saying we are guilty to some extent. I admit it, I drove an old mans Acura RL for a while and never thought once about taking off fast. I get my pcar and lust for the opportunity to find a sports car up a hill to go catch. The feeling of racing up a hill in my 911 is ... pure joy. Guilty as charged
