Here is a silly question.

Would it be possible to de-tune the engine so that one is driving with less horsepower than is available stock?

I love my P but honestly for normal street use its too many horses. 60kph is the speedlimit in Korea and you hit that half a second into second gear.

not to say that i don't love the immense power that the car allows when possible and the track days when I can let it all open of course. but in the city, i would love for it it have a hundred less horses and I can really enjoy the car.

I used to drive a less than 100 horsepower manual hatchback Kia as a daily commuter and that was by far the funnest car to drive in the city.

 

That's like asking for a p..is reduction.

 

and yet another one for the books

 

kkk i told you a silly question

 

don't press your right foot so far down?

 

Dont press the throttle hard then...

Maybe you should get rid of your P and get a V?

Just ask your dealership to re-install the predelivery tune.

You bascially want a "valet" mode. Some sports cars offer that switchable mode.

 

Buy a 912.. no seriously ! it'll go up in value too...

 

usccharles, I agree with you, this would be nice to have, I am not joking. A "turn off boost" button?

IMO 981 Cayman with the smaller 2.7L is better in this regard.

 

Put a bunch of rags in the intake. Should choke it right down...

 

ban

 

Trade your P car in for a Honda Fit for both feet? You could wear them like roller skates.

 

Learn to roll into the throttle gently, and enjoy the nice sound of the engine slowly revving up. You don't have to hammer it every time you take off
