Sounds like a great way to wake up the neighbors

so the guy in the video was NOT pressing hard the gas i guess.

would love to hear the pit speed limiter when it goes brappapappapapa (on full throttle) - and not just bruuuuuuuu (on half throttle).

can you use it only in 1st gear?
what is the max-speed you can set it? 80kph?

Did Porsche get rid of the pit speed button on the .2 RS? I saw a few pictures of the center console and I didn't see it.

Looks like they got rid of it for both the .2 RS and the 2 RS...

i use it often. but just for fun in the villages or cities. (in the 50kph zones / as cruise control )
set it to 63kph in second gear + 3/4 throttle.
everybody will love you and thank you for the beautiful noise as soon you get to the set limit

i´m just irritated - that you have to deactivate it every time in the main control panel as soon you want to go again with the regular cruise control.

Oh that will really be missed. Come on just to have it because it looks cool. Really...But I think the Back to the Future car did have one.
