Hmmm. My last loaner while they installed sport chrono software on my 2009 997 was a 2012 C2S. Now I'm waiting for my new C2S to arrive and my loaner is a Panamera S. You guys really should consider using Auto Gallery. And incidentally, this Panamera sure as hell is not underpowered. It feels faster than the 997 I'm replacing, though it really isn't. You just don't expect four large seats traveling in formation to be that maneuverable and that quick. Very nice sedan. Very satisfactory. If I wanted a sedan, this is what I'd buy. If I wanted a sedan...

You guys are dang lucky! They gave me a non S pana and it's way, way under powered. The 3.6L is just not enough for this size vehicle. I am sure the 4.8L would fare a whole lot better though.

After I had the PDK software update done I didn't notice any negative effects. My S snaps through the gears, no lazy shifts. Do you have SC?

Are you in "Sport" or "Sport Plus" mode?

I had the pdk campaign done and haven't really noticed anything different from the way it was before. PDK continues to amaze. I can barely stand what used to seem a good conventional auto in my Infiniti.

+1 Oh yes, "amaze" sums it up for me too. PDK in Sport or Sport+ along with PSE = Beautiful Music!

I have no problem with the PDK update. I ran in sports+ at Thunderhill and Laguna Seca, and found no performance loss. People loved the sound of the Sports Exhaust. I did turn off the sports exhaust at Laguna Seca to keep it under 90db, and the internal pipe still made the exhaust sounds good inside!

The standard exhaust sounds great, but I have PSE envy!

I have SC. I think it's all in my head. The car is running fine.

I think for 3-5K you can get it installed.

Happy to report out that i got all my recalls taken care of this week, wc43(electric change over valves - 8 of them), wc34(re programming front/rear end electronics control units), wc29(refrigerant intake pipes), and lastly wc25(body seal work). Both ref lines were bad, found traces of oil around them although AC was working fine. I purchased my car in Feb and it has 1500 miles......i know i need to put more miles.

loaner car was panamera, it felt faster than my M3 :-)

Bring your car to the track to officially break it in. I did with mine.

Sports+ is awesome on the track, and sports exhaust sounds amazing under full acceleration.
