Sure, but my times were recorded with Draggy and my slope was less than 1%, and I was at right around 90% SOC so I remain skeptical of what my times “should be”. In an ICE with a manual transmission I could totally understand a margin of error but with EV’s those variables are non-existent...

i I think the fact that the Turbo and Turbo S have the same “base HP” is down to the software…all else being equal, being derestricted, an inverter with a higher Amp rating is going to deploy more power, period. I plan to do some additional testing of 60-130 from a roll vs from a dig to see if...

Not to be argumentative (and apologies as it was from Jalopnik, not CAR), but directly from the article: The two inverters, which yield 168 pound and 157 pound total weights for the front axle module, save cost by sharing quite a few components, Porsche says. It’s not clear if the 600 amp rear...

okay…it took some digging but I confirmed online what I thought I had read previously, the Turbo S does have different hardware. From Car Magazine article: Also shown is the inverter, which, for the front motor, comes in two flavors: 300 amp peak output (190 amp continuous) and 600 amp (380 amp...

My tuned GTS is only putting down 10.7 @ 129 in the quarter mile. Clearly there is a hardware difference between the GTS and the Turbo S that cannot be overcome by unthrottling the software. Mr. Smith’s results don’t really make sense to me.The only conclusion I can come to is that the Audi has...

Yes, I recall references to 2.5 sec, but that would be odd for the non-turbo models as it means you don’t even get the full benefit of overboost for a 0-60 run….and the turbo models would only get the benefit of it for 1/4 of the quarter mile. This would also make my “tuned” quarter mile time...

Do you happen to have any 60-130 stats for your GTS when NOT using launch control? Clearly that is where we (GTS and 4S) are going to see the most significant increase in performance.

It’s there in the chart - 7.99 sec

I purchased a new Draggy to see what sort of times my GTS would put down with the Redshift tune. Here is my best of three runs (they were all within about a 1/10th of a second). Runs were done at ~90% SOC and tires at 40psi. Clearly making much more power but not quite Turbo S numbers in the...

I too have a GTS with 12mm spacers all around. I am on PS4S tires in OE size and have never had a rubbing issue with the spacers at any height setting

As a rule of thumb…you can assess the relative attractiveness of a lease by looking at the monthly payment as a percent of the car’s MSRP. Anything <1% is generally considered a good deal. FWIW, I just leased an EQS580 SUV for the missus, and with a $130k MSRP and crazy discounts MB was...

Okay…ran down to Mexico to do a quick test using the CarScanner app. Battery was at 65% SOC; did not use launch control (wasn’t sure it was necessary but may still enable better launches) and was not on an ideal surface. Unfortunately, I didnt have the ability to get a 60-130 time. Based on...

I just received and installed my Redshift ECU yesterday on my ST GTS. Big shout out to Mario for working hard to get my ECU shipped out to me before he left town for vacation at the end of last week! I took Redshift up on the “secondary ECU“ option and did not have to send in my factory unit...

Porsche AG/PCNA[?] quotes the max install hours for Taycan alignment at something like 7.5 hours in their shop book. The reason for this is that the camber on the front suspension can only be adjusted by manually adjusting the position of the front subframe. Access to the subframe requires a...

It is nonsense. Those dealers are lying to you. Do your own homework.

Don’t spread nonsense like this. There is absolutely zero liability a manufacturer can put on a consumer for choosing to use a different brand of tire. Furthermore all manufacturer-tuned tires should be thought of as a “nice to have”, not a “must have”, and represent minor modifications to...

I’m sorry, but this is just a silly thread: 1) every modern luxury car has a built in brake sensor that will trigger an alert on your dash when you brake pads are nearing end of life 2) Do your own due diligence. It is literally as simple as visually verifying that there is a few mm‘s of pad...

Also would agree with the other poster that this has nothing to do with tire/wheel size and is specific to the fundamental geometry of the suspension. It was very noticable on my 991.2 GT3…I have not experienced it even once on my Taycan GTS (w/ 21” wheels and Michelin PS4S for the sake of the...

Sandy is a total Elon/Telsa simp! Wouldn’t take anything he says as impartial.

Upgraded to PS4S (combination of Porsche spec fronts (OE for 911?) and MB spec rears (OE for AMG GT63 I believe) and they have been awesome! I consider any other dry weather non-track tire a compromise/sacrifice (yes, admittedly I am Michelin loyalist) and, while I understand the broad...
