Karbis Sarafyan takes the 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet with Sport Chrono up Angeles Crest, showcasing its canyon-carving prowess. With 371 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque, it may not be the most powerful, but its aerodynamic design and precision handling make it feel far faster, especially in tight corners.
The PDK transmission, simple yet intuitive interior, and central RPM gauge enhance the driving experience, while features like the g-force meter and stock exhaust emphasize performance and engagement. The 911 accelerates 0-60 in 3.6 seconds (3.2 with launch control), outpacing some higher-powered supercars, and delivers confidence through corners where more powerful cars might overwhelm.
Sarafyan praises the timeless design, highlighting that Porsche didn’t need to change a winning formula. This car suits drivers who value driving enjoyment, control, and heritage over raw power, offering thrilling performance without extreme costs. It’s a refined, capable sports car for enthusiasts who want both fun and precision.
