Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (2013)

[Paul_M3]

Picked this up on Friday.

It's a 2013 Carrera 4S in Guards Red.

The drive home put a massive smile on my face. For an everyday all-in-one car I think it's going to be pretty hard to beat.
When looking for one, I had a list of 'Must-have' options and a few 'Nice-to-haves'. This car had all of them and then some.

Full list is:

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK Gearbox)

Lol. That’s the girlfriends mums car. (Although it’s handy to borrow when you need to move stuff!)

Took the car round Snetterton on Saturday to see what it could do. Was very impressed with it, as were a few other people who wanted passenger rides.

A few pics from the day:

That colour really suits the car - lovely.

Haven't really updated this for a while, but got some good photographs from a great day at Brand Hatch GP in September.













Also had a play with Racerender and made a video with graphics overlay:

The next job on the list is sorting out the brakes which I pretty much ruined.

I guess the brakes are up to the job but you finished them off ?

Lovely car, quite fancy a 991.1 C4S.....did a couple of trackdays in a 997.1 turbo and didn't notice the 4wd at all. The main issue was it tended to want to go straight when on the power, but then that's what a GT3 is for.

Looks cracking OP, ducktail looks ace!

Yeah, age old problem of drilled discs and cracks which finally reach the edges of the discs.

I’ve also got vibration from the rear, but I think that’s just pad deposit which I’m hoping I can clean off.

The brakes are up to the job, with the proviso that you need better pads if you intend to push hard.

Great to see it being used properly!
