Thanks st-anger for the additional clarification
. So given the choice would you choose a MkI over a MKII
?
Why didn’t Porsche address the issue after it was recognized? I realize that it was rarely observed by the vast majority of Porsche drivers but given the perfectionist attitude I am surprised that Porsche didn’t work to resolve the issue
.
Is there any Porsche motorsports parts or other aftermarket modifications that would address the handling balance issue of the MKII? For example would increasing the front tire size improve the handling?
This brings up an interesting question about whether Porsche owners should modify there cars? I’m sure that many 911 owners play with the tire widths on their 911’s. While it probably is impossible to know for sure I’m curious st-anger…do you think that placing the MKII tires on the MKI would cause the MKI to have similar handling characteristics to the MKII?
Finally, I just want to make sure I understand what you meant when you said:
|
the dynamic vehicle behavior at the limit has been pushed upwards a bit thus it’s now even more narrow than on the mk1 996 C2 and quite comparable with the handling of the 993
|
and
I interrupt this upwards pushed setup and narrowed dynamic vechicle behavior to mean the MKII’s suspension is more nervous at the limit and loses grip more suddenly than the MKI :cry: . It also sounds like it understeers more than the MKI.
Also, what did you exactly mean by the fact that the MKII’s handling was more like the 993 than the MKI? I hadn’t heard this before but did the 993 have the same “nervous” behavior at the limits of adhesion :roll: ?
