2005 Porsche 911 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carerra S Chrono sport package with tiptronic is an amazing ride. Normal mode feels luxurious and smooth, like a symphony is playing while you drive. However if you want power and are in the mood to move aggressively, click the sport mode button and you are on a whole new level of sport performance. The ride is exhilarating, and acceleration is second to none. Ill never drive anything but a Porsche again. Highly recommend for the sports car enthusiast. Feb 02, 2022

Sounds like the thunder with its titanium exhaust including mufflers and air intake cooling system. Goes like a jet once you pas the 3000rpm. Drinks like a fish when you open the throttles but can also be driven with 10ltrs on 100km. Oil consumption is normal with less than 1ltr per 1000km. looks stock but for those that know about this car will notice the details that where modified in a manner that it appears stock.Nov 09, 2009

Waited 25 years for this, it better be good. It is refreshing to find Porsche has stayed away from all the unnecessary sophistications - ie. you don't have to remove 10 things everytime you wanted 1 thing changed. It also doesn't employ rubber bushings to excess, so the driving feel is very direct and informative. The definitely superior chassis stiffness is very noticeable and works in harmony with the suspension. Saving the best for last, the engine, despite being old school (ie. an evulotion from the GT1 engine from the '80s, still has no direct injection, individual intake throttles, etc.), still deliver all its 450 hp in such explosive manner such that you will forgive the slower throttle response (vs. modern BMW) or smoothness, after all, it is more like a race engine with true dry-sump design, and a oil-cooled block (but water-cooled heads)! One more thing worth mentioning: the hand painted body work is just flawless, and the material used in the interior (ie. full grain leather, wool matts/carpets, etc.), despite lacking in precision in how they are put together, are of top quality somewhat deserving of the car's high ticket price.

I was offered a short drive by a our friend Alan 2 years ago and having always loved Porsches, jumped at the chance. Now please bear in mind this was something I had wanted to do since I first saw a '80s 964 turbo I was in heaven. Now Alan isn't the tallest of chaps and I'm 6'2" and the seat wasn't able to go down far enough for me to stop my knees from rubbing the steering wheel, but we percevered and it was O.K. The suspension was a bit hard but no harder than an Audi and the brakes were a bit hard to push to make it stop handling was just mind bending. There is a 1/4 mile straight of lovely grippy double lane black stuff near us and when Alan told me to floor it from a stand still I did it was just superb, seamless acceleration all the way upto, well that would be telling wouldn't it. I loved every second of it and want one NOW!! But no money so shall have to wait.Dec 30, 2008
