Spyder Impressions

Three employees with at least a combined 100 years of Porsche experience all agree. The Spyder is the real deal. This is no sheep in wolf's clothing. The Spyder has a distinct look that separates it from a Boxster, but it's what's underneath its skin that makes it special.
The Spyder handles like it's on rails. It stays flat in the corners and is very predictable. Reports are now coming in from PCA driver education (track) programs that have the Porsche Sport Driving School instructors passing almost everything on the track. Yes, these are great drivers, but power to weight, center of gravity, weight distribution, suspension tuning, and everything else that comprises Porsche engineering makes the Spyder a giant killer. Historically, Porsche has used this same formula to achieve incredible feats in racing. There is a purity about the Spyder that transcends transportation. Jack McCall, Rodger Gay, and David Moore will all tell you the Spyder has won them over. This is the new weapon of choice for our annual assault on the winding roads of the Ozarks.
