The ignition key is, of course, on the left, a tradition carried through from a bygone era when Le Mans starts required drivers to run across the pit lane to their car, jump in and take off, fastening their harnesses as they headed onto the front straight. Driving position is perfect with excellent lateral support for spirited driving. This is a comfortable car for traveling long distances. Visibility is superb all around and instruments are an attractive, quick read. Porsche upgraded the appearance and feel of interior materials, applying a special soft-touch grain to the console, door trim, instrument panel and other areas. New aluminum-look trim for the shifter, door handles and handbrake release button lends a touch of classic sports car elegance to the design.The performance of this Porsche is nothing short of extraordinary. Even more noticeable is its chassis sophistication. In a 911 Carrera, the massive tires stay in contact with the road because the suspension keeps them there. Whether it's a 30-mph switchback or a 100-mph sweeper, the 911 driver can blast through at the absolute limit. The Carrera offers plenty of feedback.With all of its technology, the Carrera may offer better accident avoidance capabilities than any other car on the road. First of all, it has excellent brakes. Huge brake rotors and one-piece calipers derived from the GT1 racecar, along with ideal weight distribution and massive tire contact patches allow the 911 to generate incredible braking forces. As a result, this car takes off speed in no time. Its anti-lock brake system is excellent, allowing the driver to steer around the problem while braking at the threshold. These 911s stop quicker than just about any production car built.Yes, there are other sports cars. One could argue that none of them have that Porsche 911 mystique that is impossible to place a value on. One could argue they don't have Porsche's panache. But those arguments aren't necessary because this is truly one of the world's finest sports cars. You can make various arguments by looking at performance numbers, but few sports cars can match the Porsche 911's combination of chassis sophistication and power. It is precision machinery. It is easy to drive. And it offers levels of satisfaction that grow over time. As they say, there is no substitute.For more information on this outstanding 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, or any of our 40+ Porsches always in stock, contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales consultants or feel free to stop by our 5-acre Bellevue, WA Park Place Ltd campus - Home to the West Coast's Most Diverse Inventory of Luxury, Exotic, Collectible and Special Interest Automobiles with 200+ Always On Site.
