i have a 993C2 and i feel the 996C2 sways more in the front. is it the characteristic of 996? or the 996 needs better wheel alignment or perhaps better shock-absorber? both cars are in factory specs.
thank you

hello,
i'm an american living in the czech republic.
i just picked-up a 2002 996C2 on monday 29 december and yesterday i drove it to austria (about 200 miles away) on the autobahn. the car developed a vibration at about 130mph and i continued to accelarate to 175mph when it really vibrated. so 10-15 seconds after it developed noticable vibrations, i slowed down and not long after, my rear left tyre was shattered.
the car is currently fitted with winter tyres; 205/50/17 94V(front) and 225/45/17 94V(rear). after i changed the shattered tyre using the emergency replacement, the right rear tyre is now dragging. you could smell burning rubber everytime you stop, even if you drive for 5 to 10 miles at very low speed, around 40mph.
the car is still under warranty with porsche approved and i'm bringing it back on monday. i want to know what happened to the car before i speak to the mechanic. so my questions are as follows:
- what are possibilities for a car to develop a vibration (i could feel it on my cheek and teeth)?
- were the tyres not properly alligned and/or balanced? or is the car fitted with the wrong tyres?
- is it possible something broke in the rear of the car at such high speed?
on a separate issue:
- the car has a rattling noise when it goes over coble-stone road behind the back-seat. it sounds like a loose plastic part. what could it be?
- i have a 993C2 and i feel the 996C2 sways more in the front. is it the characteristic of 996? both cars are in factory specs.
thank you in advance for your help
