I got mine about 2 weeks after the first release back in 2021 and paid 138k. Then they dropped the shite out of it pricing wise to where my same build was 94k (I think about a year later). That was the money play and then they brought the pricing back up but never to that original msrp that to...
The sound keeps me coming back (RS6 and others) but this damn Taycan is too good. So much better than my departed Plaid and I actually was pretty happy with that car.
Not a bad looking car IMHO but just numb and a truly a battery on wheels- granted alot of power.
So after 3 great days in the Turbo GT on some nice twisties and straights, I took the RS6 out today. I almost died LOL.
Same weight or close
Same length or close
no where near the same power
no where near the sound (LOL)
no where near the steering
no where near the handling
better interior...
Ok now Im gonna lower it LOL...
I am so used to just getting in and spinning both knobs to sport plus and thats it... but now Ill have to do both but go into the pcm and adjust the height only to "lowered"... (if I use the links)
Ahhh I see said the blind man.
So your drive mode is Sport Plus but your suspension is set to the 2nd lowest set up? Learning over here!!!
If thats the case is the PAR still optimal for aggressive driving or are the dampers adjusted since the "lowest" setting is not being used while driving?
1000%
LOL that was really how I felt because I know (from the my og post here) and what some have stated afterwards; the car just doesnt make any practical sense. It really doesnt but it sure is fun. Much like Pimpin-
Yes this was the one at Riverside --- 54 miles when I bought it.
I was going to lower it last Saturday but after my tech watched me drive in and out in Sports Plus (the only mode I use) he said it sits really low when rolling and doesnt think I should risk damage to the front and underbody...
You and I are cut from the same cloth; we like the more raw driving experience. Of course in the context for 1000hp ev cars that weigh almost or at 5000 lbs LOL. I guess the ZR1X is option down the road too after the ADM's die out.
Appreciate and yes the Sapphire is there and traps faster in a straight line. But there are no Sapphire deals but there are Taycan Turbo GT Weissach ones :) I am a semi waster of money LOL as indicated by what Ive had and will have but I just dont see paying 246k for this car or that for a...
Thanks- I dont think I will as I blow thru cars quite quickly but I know its a formidable add.
I might do the MapEV tune so I can have all the power (actually more) on tap all the time every time.
@Mr.Smith
Does your tint on the rear window have some imperfections due to the defrosting lines?
I totally agree and thanks again for all your input and advice...
I think small things like blind spot could be added back-- how much weight is really being saved there? But I am not a needy one when it comes to amenities because the drive is so brilliant.
Thank you-- I have a ton of questions so Ill start asking here LOL!!!
Appreciate that-- the car has impressed me and in a different way than the Plaid did. I was an early adopter of that car back in Sept of 2021 and the "wow" factor was incredible along with the tech and speed of charging. I...
Ive spread a few pics of my new car around some other sections but this will be my first official thread here at TF.
This is my 10th Porsche and 2nd EV (Plaid) all prior P cars were iterations of the 911 (Turbo S, Turbo, GT3, GTS, C4S).
Some quick thoughts of this car vs a long winded resume...
