Visually appreciating a well engineered and thoughtfully tuned asphalt tearing machine is one thing. Viscerally appreciating it while it pulls .95 g’s going 45 mph is another thing. Given the two choices, I will always pick the latter.

The rear engine/rear wheel drive layout does not make sense, in my opinion. I’m not a physicist or a F-1 suspension engineer but I think that the traditional front engine/rear wheel drive layout is the most suitable for a time attack monster. Placing the engine behind the rear axles gives a car several disadvantages. Firstly, the configuration guarantees a twitchy car. One must rely on exceptional braking skills since mid-turn correctional braking would violently throw the tail out. Slaloms require extra finesse, unless doing donuts or spinning is your thing. A naturally unbalanced weight distribution favoring the rear causes understeer in low speed situations. Drifting with the RR layout isn’t ideal because of the massive grip on the rear tires caused by the uneven weight distribution. For me and my driving style, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.

That all being said, there were several drivers at the autocross that demonstrated skill and maturity in their driving – time honing their skill on the track and critical analysis is subconsciously communicated by their driving. Early braking, smooth brake and throttle inputs, and surgical counter-steering are crucial to driving a Porsche to its limits. Eric, the driver of the orange 911, masterfully displayed his skills handling his machine… even with mangled tires. His 911 was a pure car, featuring no driving aids such as ABS or traction control. Taking a turn with him was something else.

Braking to the point of near slip, Eric heel-toe downshifts into 2nd gear as he prepares for the apex – marked by a singular cone. The dragon screams for air as its heart beat spikes to match its cadence speed. Melting tires carve into the turn and Porsche’s flank gently caresses the cone, as if the cone was a baby. The G’s crush my vital organs! Every feature of the pavement – cracks, sand, etc. – is communicated by the chassis and relayed to my central nervous system. The engine blasts its note. We were going straight again. Speeding down the line at 80 miles per hour felt calming.

Although Eric is an extremely talented driver, human limitations are painfully reminded to us by an entertainingly unforgiving spin out. As Eric turned left, the front tires nimbly responded but the momentum of the rear was too much for the back tires to maintain traction. A correction to the right whips the chassis to the opposite direction and Eric instinctively countersteers towards it. Too late! The tires had already lost their grip and did not have enough time to regain traction. It was like the video of the kids drifting their Civics by putting McDonald’s trays under their back tires. The succession of corrections aggregated to a 180 spin. Without that last countersteer, I believe that the spinout would have been more dramatic. Eric was trying to keep the car straight so that the back tires would catch. The ripped up tires are a testament to the amount of time spent racing his Porsche. He had already won his division class.

Porsche Club of America puts on a sick event and I plan on attending the next. Take a look at the video, the fun begins at 1:40. The first minute and a half shows off some very nice cars. Enjoy!
