Thank you! I have always been struggling to find the perfect position..well not in such a sports car but I guess can be useful for everyday driving as well

Chris Harris must drive please. I will keep asking until he get's the chance.

6'-1", I fit nicely in my '08 987.1 in this position, ALWAYS! I can reach all controls AND see all gauges! That's why race tracks have straights, you check your gauges and relax a bit. Oh, AND you get to go really fast! My 11 1/2 D's can rev-match and not get confused. YEA!

Good tips for the new owners of this powerful machine I have learned before arriving my own toy...

With a small Ducktail it would be even more perfect ;) !

Why post this video on YouTube when only 918 owners can buy this car? Just send this video to them.

I can't believe he's Spanky's brother. I never made that connection until now.

OK. I'm getting out of bed and going for a drive.

I'm pretty sure my grandmother sits this close to the steering wheel.

[parenthlete]

shouldn't you set pedal positions before adjusting the steering wheel?

This car makes Hellcat insurance seem reasonable.Jerry has 918, suppose he ordered one.  Did he get to build it, suede and diff color ?

[johnconnor]

Where is the "exploring the limits" part at?

Quick question:
Why do you want to have a low seating position? Is this for the sensation, or for practicality? I know it slightly affects center of gravity (which is why F1 drivers sit low), but wouldn't it be beneficial to have a higher seating position so that you can more clearly see the road in front of you and where you're placing your car?

+Porsche when i drive i feel like im sitting way too far when i try to sit like this from the wheel but when i drive, my knees touching the steering wheel under the dash. Should i move up a little more with my knees bent? can you please get back to me on this? cheers!

Assuming you are built like a garden gnome this is great, If you are tall, save yourself two minutes.

[Panthers]

It's a shame they only made 911 off those. It's an amazing Porsche.

How much will it cost? Comparable to a base 991 C2 or a lot more??
