Last weekend I decided to use my 911 for my trip to Bryson City, NC. I live in Western MA, it was just under 900 miles each way, I was meeting a bunch of family to go trout fishing. I figured it is a 2010 and only has 3000 miles, lets get some miles on this bad boy.

First the trip was beautiful, more than half of it was on RT. 81. The 911 performed flawlessly. I fit more stuff than I ever thought I could, it amazed me. I averaged 76 MPH on the trip and got 25 MPG, not bad IMO. Oil Temp stayed right under 200 most of the time.

If anyone is worried about taking your 911 on a long trip do not worry, it was a blast, I can not think of a better all around Sports Car.

 

That's great to hear Hopefully you caught a ton of trout too !!

 

Now thats how you should drive a 911. What good is a car you love if you dont drive it. Oh and btw pics or didnt happen!!

 

It was my first time, I caught 3. My brothers, father, and uncle go every year. It was a Great time!!! I spent more time at the Camp Fire with some cold ones than fishing. Best part is the Cabin we rented was on the river, no need to drive anywhere.

When I got back my car was Filthy, it was king of funny mostly Pick-up trucks and then me pulling in with a 911.

 

I did not take many Pics, but here is one of us cooking the trout on the Camp Fire-

 

great thing about the 997 is its versatility !

sounds like a fun driving trip.

And i am sure fishing was not bad either.

u gonna have to put more than 3k miles in two+ years.

 

I agree, I bought it in January with 3000 miles and I have almost put that much on myself, I plan to drive 6-8K per yeat and that is only because I am in New England.

 

I drove my 911 Chicago to Miami last October...only stopping for gas.

Don't recommend it for everyone buck cigars and redbull kept me up. Awesome drive.

 

I am on a road trip right now. I started in Texas and went up the west coast. I am in Oregon now and drove 3,800 miles since I left about a month ago. I am planning my trip back to Texas right now.
My 08 C2S has been solid. It hasn't had a single problem. I've average 23 mpg over the trip with about 90/10 highway/city driving. I think my real average is closer to 24-25 mpg. I spent a week in San Francisco driving up some monster hills where I probably got <10 mpg.

 

This all sounds pretty fishy to me.

 

Very cool, nice trout!

I plan on taking a trip in August, Key West, to Tallahassee, to PCB and Santa Rosa Beach, then to Montgomery Alabama for some family time and mega fishing. A friend of mine road trips with his wife in a Corvette, and she told me how they pack and seal their clothes to make room. Luckily there is a bit more room in the Porsche than a corvette.

 

You AVERAGED 76 MPH over 900 miles? That's pretty impressive Oh, and the trout look great. Nice pic.

 

The speed limit most of the way was 70 MPH, I set Cruise at 84. The 76 does not count stops for gas or rest stops, only while driving. Also this did not include the last 20 miles or so when I was going through a bunch of small towns. I had my Escort Radar and the entire trip it only went off maybe a dozen times.

I thought 25 MPG at that speed was impressive.

 

Wonderful testimony to a very reliable car. I love the beautiful trouts you prepared. I bet that was a hundred times better than the farm trouts we usually buy at the shops.

I also use my C4S to go sometimes on dirt roads. I always get a lot of interests from people driving big pick-up trucks and Subarus in the woods.

The 911 is very versatile indeed.
