Scottmc,
Still running with the original IMS with the 05? Nice to see the mileage and still running strong.

 

05 997.1 c2 - 58k

 

2006 c4s 52000

 

I suspect Porsche engineers get extremely frustrated with American owners.They spend years engineering and re-engineering our cars to take brutal track punishment with the ability for a novice or pro to feel some reward in the car's operation. They try to engineer a suspension that will double for track duty and daily commutes comfortably. Alas, what do we as owners do? We park them in our garages for days on end until atrophy sets in. I can imagine them standing around scratching their collective heads wondering why we don't just buy artwork instead!

Having said all that, 49K on an 06S!

 

59.5K miles on my 2009 C4S. Mind is DD even in the occasional brutal Buffalo snow storm��

2011 4S: 13,400 miles

 

2006 997 vert 6spd. 100k and climbing.

 

need to drive it more

 

2007 Turbo - 60000 miles and counting.

 

Just crossed 50k in my 2009 C2S a couple weeks ago. I was sad to see a 5 at the front of my odometer but then I gave it a throttle blip and got excited and thankful it is my DD. These cars are amazing.

 

'06 C2S, 62,8xx as of today.

 

Wrong forum, you're talking about Ferrari owners, I would say that a lot more Porsche owners take their cars to the track, DD, and spirited drives in the mountains, compared to most Ferrari owners who wash and wax, parked in garage to stare at, and drive it occasionally to a car show.

 

I agree.. I would say most Porsche owners have incredible trust in what the engineers at Porsche have done with making cars that last and perform at high levels. We drive our cars like they are meant to be... very spirited at all times I have another Porsche with 140,000 miles and still running like a champ and feels bullet proof... and I do not baby that one either.

Yes, I know a few friends who have garage queens and brag about their low mileage.... but to me... they are really just missing out on miles and miles of excitement. Makes for a very boring conversation when you talk about how little you drive your car

The only way to truly know all your cars mannerisms is to drive it in all different kinds of scenarios. Highways, Canyons, and track days in all kinds of weather. Do a few track days and get some instruction. Push it to its limits and find out what those are and how to control that chassis and power properly. Then you will really be amazed at what a special car the 911 is. Not to say you can't appreciate and enjoy your Porsche driving it only on weekends and 2000 miles a year ... but man...I can't imagine that can compare to the stories I could tell about the adrenaline rush, fun and excitement I have had in my 911 with 50,000 crazy miles on it!

yes, I agree... Lots of Ferrari owners take pride in their low mileage garage queens

 

2009 C4S with 25K miles...my daily driver.

 

2007 C4S 50k
