So its been a great season with my P cars! Reflecting on the year, I acquired a 2010 White on Red PDK Turbo Aero Kit and drove that beast for 2000 miles before wanting more power. Bought my 2007 Turbo Blk on Blk and got the Switzer R911 kit with race and pump setting. Won a bunch of races, car ran a 5.75 60-130mph on the pump setting, ran a 141+ trap, and got her detailed before the winter sleep. Looking forward to 2011...or maybe one more cruise if the weather permits here in Ohio. To conclude the season, I had to post the latest preparations. She has fuel stabilizer, sits on 2 layers of carpet with the tires at 40 PSI, fresh wax and detail, under the factory cover, and has the trickle plugged in. Until next year and some race gas numbers...

 

It saddens me to see 'hibernation' threads. While I pay the price of unremitting heat in the summer, at least I can drive all year round. 80's in November FTW!
Look forward to seeing some race gas numbers next year!

 

Too bad you have to put it away. I am actually going to pull mine out on Thursday if my schedule allows it, I have not even driven it since the latest mods.

 

Sweet slumbers to her Les! Certainly been an interesting season for you...
I am eagerly looking forward to what she will do next season with race gas and what other things you have in store for her/us !

In our part of the world, P cars come alive in winter time due to the cooler temps.

We'll do our best to keep you guys entertained over the winter months .

 

Sleep tight R911....

 

Glad you had a good season, and some very impressive cars.

I guess I spent too many years in Germany - I drive my Porsches all year long, especially the AWD TT in the snow - it's provides great traction if you drive it in the correct manner. I even drive them in Vermont in the depth of winter.

 

If you're putting it away it's obviously not your daily driver. If that's the case, there are plenty of days with lots of sun and blue sky's to still drive the car. Think how much it will love the cool air

 

Les, I can get you some snowshoes for her and have Sr. set up the KW's to clear some of the heavy rutting we see up here...

 

Great post. Would you have any pics of the white and red car?

 

Tru dat my brotha! I think that you have the advantage being able to drive year round.

Well if its nice and there is no salt on the roads, I will certainly drive her! Yeah, you certainly need to take your baby out with the new mods!

Yes a very colorful season for sure! Yes race gas will be amazing! I cant wait either. I am also counting on you for the winter entertainment!!

 

Yeah, well I would rather not with all of the salt and shiz on the roads here in ohio. Thats why we have the two 4matic Tri Stars to beat up on. I bet that its gota be quite a fun ride doing donuts in a Turbo!!!!

Thats right its just a weekend toy. Certainly agree with you on on the nice days instead of just starting her up...I will run her around on the streets! I hope we get a bunch more.

That my friend is ...6 in lift??

 

Thanks, here you are.

 

Sleep tight R911! Awesome car.

I was just about to post a similar thread. My black 911 goes into hibernation on Friday when we go to Florida. My buddy with a similar car drives his all year round and while it has nice 4wd I can't imagine WHY you would potentially ruin an amazing car by driving it in winter. Salt and other drivers can be hazardous. It's not like it would be enjoyable to drive in the winter. That's just my opinion and I know there are plenty to the contrary.

I'm planning on switching the programming back to stock in case there are startup hiccups in the spring. So today was the last day with the Proto tune (also have an AWE exhaust). On the way home today I "surprised" a modded (looked and sounded like it) Viper GTS. From about 80-150 I pulled him by a couple of car lengths. I'm sure he was quite surprised. Good old 911, sleep tight this winter.

Les, thanks for posting your tire pressures for winter storage, saves me looking it up. Got the trickle charger and factory car cover all ready too.

 

beautiful car but doesnt make sense to store it. its awd. just put on snows and have fun. my track season just ended for my gt3 but i cant wait to take it to a snow covered parking lot!

 

mine is still on the road, will use it until the first snow then except for a nice day here and there will end up under cover and trickled
