With that in mind we present "Edmunds Track Tested," a quick rundown of all the data we collect at the track, along with comments direct from the test drivers. People have said that our long-term 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet with PDK is the last, or second-to-last 911 they'd ever buy. Our 911 has a base price of $93,700. The next step up the Porsche ladder is the Carrera S Cabriolet that lumps together a 3. 8-liter flat-6 producing 400 hp, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and several other less important features.
