Great pics S S. I am visiting my Great Uncle in Dripping Springs in five weeks. My Daughter has not been to his ranch so we are paying him a visit. Your T looks good. Enjoy!

Hopefully you are bringing your T! You will LOVE the roads around here if so... I am heading to Tail of the Dragon to meet up with some of my old riding buddies from NOVA on 1 April then we are coming back here for MotoGP the following weekend. Please do PM me if outside that timeframe works for some drives when you are here and we'll make it happen!

We are visiting April 2-6. Flying with my Wife and Daughter. Sounds like I will miss you in TX as well as your time at The Dragon. Enjoy it!

You are right, but the worst is using Turbo on a Tycan. I absolutely hate seeing that on an electric car.

Really hope it goes to another enthusiast, and it definitely won’t be my last 911, just taking a short break.

Bought this T from Chris last week and received it yesterday. Great seller to purchase from, and a fantastic car in even better condition than expected. Happy to join the club and I can’t wait to enjoy it in the canyons 😊

That so long it needs a period. Grammatically it seems wrong…. The model name is interrupted by the power level (s) and engine platform.
IMO it s/b Panamera Sport Turismo E-Hybrid Turbo S or shorter version c/b Panamera Sport Turismo e-Turbo S

(model / engine platform / power level)

Name length is one of the reasons I got rid of mine to just say "Porsche".. also to be more like the old ones.

Installed a Softronic tune over the weekend. A bit time consuming but super simple process and it really transforms the car. Its a totally different animal with the tune. Lightening fast, torque is instant and it just pulls and pulls to redline....reminds me of my tesla in power delivery. Also, seems worlds faster the our GTS4 Targa. I just can't believe how much more power you can pull out of this motor.....goes to show you how de-tuned they are from the factory.

My only complaint, especially with gas pricing as high as it is, is that mpg has gone down significantly. Cluster is showing 11mpg where is has been 15mpg. Granted, I've mostly gone WOT over the last few days playing with the tune so hoping it will get back to normal. If not, I may has Scott put normal mode back to "stock" and just have the tune on sport and sport +

I've got the Softronic on my 17 Carrera Base and my gas milage is as good as stock if not better.
Even with a lot of full throttle still get 20 plus and on highway at 75mph , 28mpg+
