My first time driving a 911 turbo expeirence.

My sister just got a 09 Turbo Tip and I got to drive it around and I must say that this car is a blast to drive. I must first give props to the owners that drive this car everyday (or often) because I think I would lose my license really quick. haha Ive driven some high HP cars (N/A and FI) but this is way different than anything else Ive experienced. It wants to go or should I say fly. It has the Sport Chrono package and I was wondering when you hit the sport button does it change the exhaust to sound different? It was screaming at full throttle.

You're hooked now! The exhaust sound does not change. Still sounds muted.

Muted? Sounded pretty loud when I went through the Bay Bridge tunnel with the top down. But then again I havent been around enough Turbo 991's to know the difference.
Yeah hopefully ill get one in the future. Im only 25 and just got out of school so I need to get a little more established.

Actually when you are at idle and hit the sport button you will hear the exhaust get slightly louder.

Nice car !!! The exhaust is rather quiet and she might actually prefer it that way (especially in a cab) but there are much spicier exhaust notes.

You may have to wait awhile .. . but years go by fast and if your sister takes good care of it perhaps one day she'll give you a good price on a used Turbo cab.

No matter what .. you have the best case scenario .. she paid for the car, the insurance, the maintenance . and you got to drive it and have something to look forward to . Some turbo owners only drive the car occasionally so if you drive hers once a month .. it's almost like a free Turbo (kept as a garage queen). plus you get to see her happy too.

This is all good.
