I test drove a Taycan Turbo today. I'm quite impressed. The seating position is spot on and it's easy to place the car just where you want when cornering. Feels almost like a big 911/Cayman, but hides the 195 inch length, 77 inch width, and 5000+ pounds with the low CG, low driving position, low dash, and 911-esque hood that falls away. The suspension design is also a standout. It does the dual-purpose trick of firm and controlled cornering, with a supple ride over bumps, better than anything else I've driven.
I've test driven a model S as well. That was a dull car, but an impressive gadget. As a driving experience, there is no comparison with the Taycan. Also, if you haven't seen, here's how the performance over several quarter mile runs compares between the two. The engineering of the thermal management on the Taycan is light years ahead of the Model S.
Also, in a real world test of range, it's quite comparable with the Tesla, so there's only a small hit for much better performance (.99 skidpad vs. .92, 16.5 inch front brakes vs. 14.0 inch front brakes)
And keeping their rep for highest margins in the business. Thank you generous Porsche customers.
we will post food, bike and car pic from first week of march from mootys tour.
and we are three ppl short for the catalunya trip
with ingamba. if u are an avid cyclist , not doing that trip is like u call urself a car guy but u can drive stick shift ... yes u can do the trip on ur own. ain’t the same .... well unless u are satisfied with a blow up doll thinking that is the real deal ....
Desserts always photograph the best. Ok, maybe it is just my leanings.
u know it
and we do eat well
i don’t like macdonalds
if hamburger pls bring me meat from snake river farm or u will be on the black list of non-invite
for the tour I will try not ordering the ENTIRE menu. and if u think i’m joking about me often ordering the ENTIRE menu...... u haven’t seen the amount nor the speed I inhale food. I rarely chew anything...
He's not kidding. At our last group meal, I was starving and trying to grab stuff. Mooty beat me to...EVERYTHING! Keep you hands and feet clear of his mouth!
Shortened test ride (everything always takes longer than I think to sort out..) but got out there and yeah that glorious new bike vibe is hard to beat..
California being very California also pretty hard to beat.
Dinner tonight hopefully won’t get me banned from Tour DeMooty:
next up: acquire turkey baster and a bottle of brake fluid from Walmart to try and fix the clutch pedal in the s2k so I can go for a drive on Skyline!
