Spent a fabulous rainy November Friday driving a 420 max horsepower 911 Carrera S at the Porsche Experience Center in the ATL. The experience was tremendous navigating the Porsche 911 Carrera S through hairpin curves, kick plate skids, controlled spins and at high speeds around the 1.6 miles of connectable track.

Enjoyed driving the one-mile handling course which is designed to mimic a winding country road with challenging curves and a straight roadway that allows the driver to achieve maximum speed. 

Must say that the best part of the ninety (90) minute Porsche driving experience was the wet, low-friction circle that tests a driver’s expertise to handle the vehicle during induced spinouts. A close second was the thrill experienced launching the Porsche from zero to sixty (60) mph plus in less than three (3) seconds. Handling the 911 Carrera S through a variety of dynamic and initiated spinouts, and launching was thrilling and challenged one’s skill to control the vehicle.

Was not sure what to expect or how much I would enjoy the experience of driving a high performance Porsche, especially in the rain, since I am not a “car guy”. I prefer to invest my money in appreciable assets such as stocks or real estate instead of in luxury, high performance vehicles. But, the thrill and delight derived from pushing the limits of the Porsche 911 Carrera S was an experience I shall relish.
