5 Tips to Making the Most of the 2017 Porsche 911
It won't take much to convince the team here at Porsche Silver Spring that the 2017 Porsche 911 stands apart when it comes to sports cars. With a twin turbo engine capable of producing 370 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) standard on all models, a state-of-the-art 7-inch touch-screen infotainment system, and more, the 911 has something to offer everyone, and yet, it's possible that you're not getting as much out of it as you could be.
Here are five tips for you to follow in 2017 (and beyond!) to make the most of the Porsche 911.
Get the manual transmission
There's just something about shifting in time with the road, about changing gears at just right the moment, that evokes a feeling of perfect synchronicity with your vehicle. That's a feeling that can only be achieved with a manual, so do yourself a favor right from the start and get one.
Make it yours
Once you've secured your manual 911, it's time to customize it. From leather seats to sport exhausts to performance brake kits, there are a number of ways to make your 911 stand out, so feel free to let loose and fine-tune it to your heart's desire.
Feed it well
You wouldn't feed a champion racehorse yard clippings, nor should you fuel your 911 with anything less than premium gasoline. It's not just marketing--higher-octane fuel will not only improve performance, but it can also help you avoid engine knocking and elevated exhaust-gas temperatures, keeping your investment secure.
Learn to drive it from the professionals
Now that your 911 is kitted-out and fueled up, it's time to turn to the experts to teach you all the ins and outs of handling such a beast. There are a number of different Porsche Driving Experiences across the world, in places as varied as Atlanta, GA to Leipzig, Germany. There, you'll learn everything from wet handling to taking the curves like a pro to maintaining a racing line.
There really is no feeling like it.
Take it to the track
With your new-found racing skills, you'll no doubt be itching to get back on the track, and luckily for you, you can do just that at the all-new Porsche Experience Centers in Atlanta and Los Angeles. There are also a number of track clubs, like the Monticello Motor Club and the Thermal Club, where you'll be able to open up the throttle in a safe and controlled environment
