_ Back is Porsche‘s unique Tiptronic transmission which combines the best of automatic and standard transmissions. Slide the gear selector to D‘ and you have a sophisticated automatic which can adjust to one of five driving styles from sport to luxury, based on the way you are driving. For a little more exciteâ€" ment, ah('g‘tbo shifter to position M‘ and up/down gearing a motorcycle) is possible without engagâ€" ing a clutch, while the computer protects the engine tion to this setup is a rocker arm toggle switch on each side of the steering wheel hub which allows this same up/down shifting without taking your hands off the wheel. Just like today‘s Indy cars! Braking for the new Carrera is provided by massive vented dises with crossâ€"drilled rotors that can bring you to a stop fast enough to make you sick. This is the first car equipped with the new ABSâ€"5 systém which improves braking modulation with reduced pedal kickâ€"back and decreased stopping distances on uneven surfaces. An optional ABD (Automatic Brake Differenâ€" tial) works with the ABS system by limiting wheelâ€" spin up to 70 km/h. Dual airâ€"bags are standard.

The extra gear also improves fuel economy. The clutch action is lighter than before but the way it is positioned to push up from the floor takes some getting used to. The new gear ratios are a perfect match for taking full advantage of the engine‘s Porsche recommended us to their friends since 1979. 435 Conestoga Rd., Waterloo (OILâ€"SHIELD) "Don‘t ‘Flounder‘ in Rust" 886â€"3881 Our customers have CLIP & SAVE (Continued from page 45) ment panel still consisting of five circular gauges.
