- This is the first drive I did on my trip to the Santa Cruz Mountains. Going to MR from a FR platform is pretty shockingly different but I found it very balanced and more forgiving than my track setup ND Miata. And don't get me started on that induction sound.
This part of HW9 is not too technical but gives you some camber and flow to get things warmed up.
Really start to find some flow around 2:10
Car is a stock base 2.7 981 Boxster PDK
Tire is OE sized Firestone Indy500s (340tw)
Filmed using a Insta 360 OneRS and a Zoom H4N Pro Mic
Very interesting to see Porsche of all companies get the shift direction on the stick wrong ...
@@MrSuryapratim it was very annoying
@@GoDriveMX5 Thanks for the reply ... huge fan of your eleven tenths driving!
Pure perfection.
That's awesome man. Looks so fun!
Definitely was!
Nice car
pure vibes, question how come you don't use the wheel to change gear?
@@domsony1 I was having trouble with the left "paddle" sticking.
how does this compare to the ND? looks a bit sluggish on turn in but kinda hard to tell from video
@@Ellie-rp3fw Great eye. It definitely doesn't have the same grip as the ND on turn in. You have to be patient and let the weight move over there.
But it has mid corner and exit traction once you get it loaded up.
I'd say because of that though it's more confidence inspiring. The ND I'm constantly aware the rear end might slide out. None of that in the Porsche.
@@GoDriveMX5 yeah always surprises me how willing to oversteer the ND is, it looks fun but kinda surprising for whats otherwise a calm car. I think with a couple of suspension upgrades + 200tw tires the 981 has a ton of potential but obviously it comes at a pretty huge cost
@@Ellie-rp3fw yep give the 981 the same treatment I gave my ND and it would be a weapon for sure.
