    The sound, the camera angle, the interior, the road, the view, the driving skills. 10 out of 10. Love this so much.

      Wow, thank you very much. Most people never acknowledge driving skill because it never looks as fast on camera.

      @@Poorschedriver I was admiring the perfect down shifts. Still something to work on for me. I have a 986 at the moment. The tan interior with the dark blue exterior and silver wheels has got to be the perfect combo. The 981 interior just doesn't do it. The more analog feel is where its at.

    Good to see somebody else out there "Driving it like a Porsche!" as intended! Love the rock face echo effect . . . . you've got a real nice road there! Thanks for sharing it. Maybe we could do a road review of the Mohawk trail and put it on both of our channels? Think about it . . .

      Thanks! My cars see redline every day, they've gotta be exercised! You guys ever plan a trip up to New England and I'll show you some of the best roads we have to offer (which pale in comparison to what you've have but I gotta work with what I got lol). My other videos of the Adirondack roads are from the lake placid region. They're some truly great roads out there, about 4 hours from me.

    • @davidg.9446
      @davidg.9446 6 місяців тому +4

      Yes I understand. I make videos out in the country doing speeds between 80 and 135 and the camera does it no justice. You simply have to be in a car to see and feel those rides . I not insulting your abilities or your comfort level.
      I'm just stating that "flat out" is an exaggerated term used to get viewers and that is not even close to being flat out .
      That's why I only watched a quarter of the video. I'm just tired of the amount of deception these days that's all.
      Have a great weekend.

      The steering wheel is a Porsche sports steering wheel, so it's slightly thicker. Plus, I'm a small guy, so there's a little illusion as well. It feels just right though.

      @PointNemo9 it's culture. In some regions, people are overweight and always eating or drinking. In New England, where I am from, life is very fast-paced, so there isn't much time to eat or drink, so many people do it while driving. Driving is treated as a background activity, which is why Americans are such bad drivers, and we have so many accidents. I wish we had the driver education and respect for the European countries. Especially the lane etiquette. As for me, well, it gets hot in the sun with the top down, so gotta stay hydrated with iced tea! It also doubles as a G meter!
