How to drive an old Porsche 911

Early Porsche 911s have a reputation for being tricky to drive. Some even say they're dangerous. Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel ask if that reputation is fair and talk in detail about the classic Porsche 911 driving style of slow in, fast out. This is an extract from the DriveNation podcast (episode #2), which is available on this KZbin channel as well as all popular podcast apps. Find Drive Nation on Instagram @drivenation_

Jason Plato has said when you release the brakes you have to do just that release it slowly and progressively not in a fast manner. It's like you're slamming the engine on the floor and upsetting those suspension I'm assuming

As much as I will always adore the early 911s it is really a car that's about style and sound. From a driving enthusiast's perspective, a NB Miata, albeit with little style and a barely tolerable exhaust note, is just a much better car for a spirited romp. Just my opinion of course... ymmv.

1. You’ve never driven a classic 911. 2. Define “better.”

@@overbuiltlimited 1. Wrong, woukd never comment like I did without experience in the cars I mention. 2. Can't articulate, which is the point. 3. Will always always love the early 911s, but it's really about the vibe... unless you lack the ability to be honest with yourself.

Slow in - fast out. Amen!
