Stiff chassis

For a while, whenever I'd back my car out of my garage, I'd notice a somewhat weird feeling as I started moving forward. I'd realized that it was because my front left wheel was actually lifting off the ground and then landing again as I moved forward across the "peak" in my driveway. This really shows how stiff the 997 chassis is. I thought I'd share some of the pictures I took from this experiment.






It was kinda fun pushing down on the floor of my car and seeing my car rock gently up and down.

Jason,

You should put a radial blur on wheels and a motion blur on the background and say that you were exciting at a high rate of speed and took these awesome shots from a remote camera.

I think the lift has also to do with your suspension travel. You have none since you lowered it It is also pretty stiff from my experiences!
