I am on my 3rd Porsche and have never had a problem passing in any of them.

Push to pass on an EV only makes sense if you dont think about it.
I'm sure others have the same comment but my push to pass button on my Gen 1 Taycan is located underneath my right foot.

May be something wrong with me, but this came to mind with your comment.

You'll be amazed how quickly you grow used to the acceleration and find yourself wanting to add HP. Similar response when asked how much money is enough? "Just a little more"

The most common response to "How much money would you need to make to feel financially secure" is "50% more than I make now". The funny thing is, the answer does not change throughout people's careers, even when they double what they used to make, they typically say they'd need 50% more to feel comfortable.

If any of those are at full tilt and you’re trying to pass them then I guess you’re either on a race track or being followed by flashing blue lights ?
it’s not that for me it’s that a factory 50k mustang can out accelerate my almost 200k high performance sedan. This is a first for Porsche to have standard factory commuter vehicles match or best it’s top of the line turbo model. Giving us at least launch control power for a couple seconds while at speed would be a nice gesture. Let’s be honest at 55 the acceleration is not very impressive in the turbo or turbo s.

Totally agree. Mine is a dog after 55. My 07 911 with a Stage 2 tune would crush it. I miss that feeling of getting sucked into my seat when you punch it going 60.

Cmon, the stupid Audi which is basically uglier Taycan can use the overboost on demand but the Taycan is limited…that’s just bad development and policy really.

The highest spec Audi (Performance) is just a software detuned Taycan Turbo S
It has the same limitations at the Taycans Push to Pass. 10 sec, then 10 seconds cooling off period.
Turbo GT has 10sec with 4sec cooling off period work the 900amp rear motor inverter
All of it is pointless and silly
