Thumbs up 997 S ride quality over long distance? Amazing!

Hey folks,

I'm now the proud second owner of a 2008 911 S Cab with sport package, 6 spd, sport seats and PASM.

My bemused wife and I flew across Canada to pick it up and completed a 4.5 day 2700 mile (4300km) road trip home. I was worried about the 19" wheels and the sport seats being too harsh on repeated 9 hour driving days but at the end of each day she got out and commented on being surprised that she wasn't feeling road weary or stiff and sore at all! I initially chalked up my lack of discomfort to adrenalin and the joy of realizing my dream but even at the last day I wasn't sore.

We're 40-somethings and this is the first P-car in our family. I am shocked that both the car and us just shrugged off driving across the continent. Stock Michelin Pilot Sports are mounted.

I would not hesitate to recommend the S to anyone- this was an EPIC road trip.
