find a car clinic with a wet skidpad on motorsportreg and turn traction control off :)

unsprung weight or load rating? i don't think i'm good enough driver for a few extra pounds of unsprung weight per wheel to matter for lap times. load rating for any stock e-tron GT or taycan wheels will be good. aftermarket rims worth checking if they publish that information. tires i also try...

yes, i have a bunch of wheel sets. purchased wheels/rims/tires off ebay, craigslist, this forum, e-tron forum, and tirerack.

21" not worth it. 20" with real 200tw tires will be way better. my 21" pzero pz4 tires corded after five track days and 5,000 mi. my 20" bridgestone RE-71RS tires held up better.

is that a square setup? haven't seen 10.5 in the front (not saying it's not possible). 21" and comfort don't really go hand in hand unless you have active ride? maybe go 20"?

interest rate/money factor is set by PFS not dealership, although dealership can mark it up. base money factor on porsche lease is pretty high, 8-9% last time i checked. a one-pay brings it down a little bit.

Here's another earlier session from the last day (2:37, wet track). Everyone is smooth, careful, and polite.

Fun! For auto X, it's usually very safe in parking lots, so traction control off is great with minimal risk. For track days, I think it depends on driver/track experience and the conditions. I usually try the middle/limited PSM mode once I'm comfortable and the weather/track conditions are good...

2:31 on the last day on a wet track. Weather was crazy; we saw rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog, and finally some sun. Bummed I wasn't out on track when it was suddenly white-out conditions (full course black flag for safety/visibility reasons); that would have been a funny video "tracking the glen...

MassTuning, not PCA

2:17 today. More folks today. Couldn't find enough clean air before hitting thermal limits (usually around lap 4). Garmin says 2:14 optimal, which seems do-able in the first few laps with near 100% charge and a clear track. I think a couple cars out front identify as F1 cars :). By the end of...

2:18 today. PZero PZ4 tires screaming and holding on for dear life. Hope to pick up a few seconds tomorrow if I can find some clean laps.

How do you pre-condition the battery for the track? I'm at Watkins Glen this weekend with a Taycan Turbo S as well :)

I'll be at Watkins Glen again 4/17 - 4/19 if anyone wants to join. 4/17 https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/masstuning-trackfest-apr-17-2026-watkins-glen-international-814285 4/18 https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/masstuning-trackfest-apr-18-2026-watkins-glen-international-936979 4/19...

nice investigation. open pull requests for changes

bump

Stock Turbo GT has more torque than tuned RS E-tron GT (1185 Nm vs 910 Nm), I believe. When I went from RS E-tron GT to Taycan Turbo S, I noticed the horsepower/torque difference on the track, and it took me a little while to adapt. Have to be patient and smooth applying throttle mid-corner...

price drop

In MA, I've paid excise tax on leased Audis, BMWs, Porsches, etc. The only manufacturer that I've dealt with that rolls excise tax into monthly payment is Ford. Sales tax is always rolled in.

For sale, set of four squared 20x9.5" +28 aftermarket rims with 285/35/R20 Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RS 200 tread wear tires. Tires have 4/32 tread left, dated '22. Rim offset is pretty aggressive. TPMS and center caps included. I've used this setup for many track days and thousands of miles of...
