The Carrera is undeniably dynamic on the road thanks to one of the sharpest steering systems on the market. It's incredibly responsive and confidence-inspiring, allowing clean and convincing maneuvers through twists and turns. Obviously, handling is exceptional; drivers enjoy perfect control in corners.

Contrary to what Porsche outsiders will have you believe, the 911 is pretty comfortable on the highway. The suspension is very well calibrated, delivering a smooth, surefooted ride without ever compromising driving dynamics. In addition, the generously-sized brakes are always up to the task. These high-performance units prove very enduring.

Other allegiances
In this exclusive segment, all cars are world-class machines with amazing attributes, leaving potential buyers to make their decision based on personal tastes. The list includes the Aston Martin V8 Vantage ($129,500), Audi R8 4.2 quattro ($141,000), BMW 650i ($95,500), Chevrolet Corvette Z06 ($94,715), Jaguar XKR ($104,000) and Mercedes-Benz SL550 ($125,000). The 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera with PDK retails for $100,360.

Conclusion
I may be a sinner for driving a Porsche 911 in the snow, but I've told my beads and paid utmost respect to the car since it demands nothing less. This is a legend, after all, and one of the finest automobiles ever built. In fact, if you really want to get the most out of the 911, my advice is always the same: become a Porsche Club member so as to learn all the intricacies of the machine and safely enjoy its phenomenal performance on the track. Amen.
