Default Auto Blip

Looks like the speedster allows you to disable auto blip separate from sport mode? This true?


If so - how likely is it that we can retrofit the disable feature (without turning off sport) in prior generation 991?


i love the auto blip. But at times it just feels like I’m cheating. A perfectly nailed heel toe downshift is very rewarding (and adds to the joy of driving IMO).

It’s exactly the same as sport button in other GT cars. They just changed the name on the button to better reflect its function (always been rev matching and nothing else in manual GT cars)

Thanks!! Good to know.

I thought it changed sensitivity of throttle and other inputs as well (sport button).

Sport button in the GT4 also opens 3rd radiator and car runs cooler.

If you want to keep sport and remove auto blip just turn ESC off and you keep sport but lose autoblip

Same same

??? I thought on a 991.2 manual GT3 sport was only auto-blip? It seems that way to me.

No.. once you switch off the nannies, autoblip disappears again also. Try it.

It doesn't make sense to me and I don't like it.. I like auto blip especially on track, but I also like to have different level of safety intervention.. i don't know why they make them mutually exclusive. If for speedster they've made autoblip independently switchable this is a smart step forward.. hopefully same for 992 GT3

So what does nannies off, sport on do? Is that even possible? I take it from your note that it is not possible on GT3. I have never touched the nannies button. I need my nannies.

So GT3 sport = rev matching, not available without nannies
speedster autoblip = rev matching, available with or without nannies?

The sport button would do the same on the equivalent engine in a Carrera S is all with or without a 3rd radiator.

I'll have to go out and try it again, but I swear that the rev match still worked in Sport mode with the nannies off. I had a rare autox a while back where I was actually getting into 3rd gear briefly, and wanted the rev match to work while downshifting back to 2nd gear. From what I remember, it did rev match.
