Ride comfort of Cayman and 911

Recently, the "How my husband responded to a consultation I received from a readerI have been blogging frequently about the "Cayman and 911", and this time I would like to share with you the consultation and comments about the "comfort of the Cayman and 911" and my husband's response.

Here is the first question we received.

If I drive about 200km in the whole process, which would you recommend as far as ride comfort, the 911 or the Cayman?The other day I had a chance to test drive a 911 Carrera S (997.1) with my wife, and she said, "My butt and back hurt!" He said, "My buttocks and back hurt!
Certainly it was more lumpy than the Cayman S (987) that I test drove in the past. I wondered if it was because it was a car of this age. I also thought it was because of the age of the car. I would be happy if you could give me your opinion on this car, as I would like to use it as a reference when I make a purchase.

I asked my husband about this and this is what he had to say.

I'd take a 911 and a Cayman any day of the week.In general, I'd say the 911 is a better ride.I feel that this is because the 911 is RR and has a lightweight front suspension. Because the 911 is a RR model with a light front end, the front suspension, which easily affects ride quality, is soft and smooth, and the road surface is smooth and smooth, giving the impression that it is difficult to raise and lower one's eyes.
And the 911 seems to have a more GT car-like setup that is better suited for comfortable long distance driving.
If you feel that the 911 rides worse, except for the reason of individual differences or deterioration of the suspension, etc.First of all, I wonder if the ride would be relatively worse if the wheels are large diameter optional wheels.I also wonder if the key is whether it is a suspension with PASM or a sport suspension specification.
I have the impression that without the sport suspension or PASM, the ride is a bit firmer. I also think that the ride quality of the 987 and 997 generation is a little firmer in general compared to the 981 and 991 generation, and that the ride quality has improved dramatically with the 991 and 981.

This was the case.

911 (992 type) with specifications that swing to driving

The next thing I want to share with you is that my husband recentlyA 911 Carrera S (992 model) with fairly hard specs that I was allowed to ride a bit at the dealership.We received valuable feedback from a reader who drove the same test car.

I had the opportunity to test drive the 992 Carrera S, and I completely agree with the impressions.Compared to the hard mode of my 991.2GT3RS, "It's so hard! was my first impression.It was.
The 991.2GT3RS has plenty of leg stroke even in full bumping at high speed sports driving in hard mode, and the legs move very well and show excellent settling without any posture disturbance. The 992S, however, has too high a spring rate for the shock damping force to keep up with the shock damping force, and the leg range of motion is limited due to the short stroke, so it feels "stiff". I think this is the reason why the 992S feels "stiff".
I don't know if it has the optional sports chassis or PDCC, but I think it's the former. I'm thinking of a 992 Carrera/base for RS's little brother, and I've been test driving them at various PCs, but each one has different specifications according to PJ's wishes, so I know the differences well.

It was very interesting to read this article as it is not often that we get a chance to hear your thoughts on how it compares to the GT3RS.

In response to this feedback, my husband

I'm guessing the Carrera S I test drove had PASM Sport in it, so it must have been hard. Also, from my research.Relatively many reviews rate the ride as uncomfortable for individuals with RS Spyder wheels.I have a feeling.(Including foreign ones. Could be a fluke, I can't say for sure.)
That unit was flat and good at a little speed, but not so good at very low speeds.
I'm sure some of the suspension and bushings haven't been acclimated yet with the test drive.

He said.

Go on.

911 is a sports car that generally rides wellI think it's a good thing. So I think it is less likely to be uncomfortable and fed up with any specification.
However, there is a wide range from soft to hard, depending on the driving options and wheels. So, if you are buying a car for your wife's shopping or for daily transportation, the softer type will be preferred, while the harder type will be preferred if you want to go on circuits or winding roads.
I think it is best to look at and consider options and wheels often, depending on one's goals and preferences.

This was the case.

Even if I say "911" in one word, the ride and feeling completely changes depending on the specifications and options. I thought to myself, in preparation for the day when I buy a Porsche myself (no plans yet w/o a Porsche), I would like to consider various options to see what kind of 911 would be right for me.
