I've only had my 997.2 for a week now. How do I get it to go less than 50mph?

Three factors will influence the tendency to aquaplane:mrgrey said:Interesting that this has come up as I was thinking about aqua planning in 911s the other day.
I'm no expert in this but you think wide tyres would be better in the wet but do those really wide rear tyres become surfboards on surface water? I guess someone has done some research and reached a conclusion. So do 2CVs perform better in such situation OK an extreme example but you get what I mean.

What is it with that? I often see people going miles quicker than I dare on wet dual carriageways. Surely they must feel the car being unstable underneath them?
I always thought everyone had much better control than me in the wet, or that they knew something I didn't.
Turns out they probably just haven't seen/experienced what we have :wink:
