not the 911but the VOLT ... do you have to drive it till the battery's dead before you recharge it...

nice car thxs 4 the pics

 

I am really enjoying the Volt so far. Just installed a 24V charger. Have not done a full charge with it yet so I can't comment on it yet.

 

Beautiful 991! Enjoy and congrats!

 

Hi!

Great car ..... is it Basalt black or solid/plain?

And please give some thoughts about the Sport PASM suspension ... is the ride still comfortable?

I had a 997.1 with normal PASM and this felt absolutely right in standard setting ... but in sport mode it was way too stiff .... I never used it .... I still hope that 991 SPASM has the same comfort as PASM in 997.1 ... can you confirm that?

I don't have experience with prior Porsche's so I can't do a comparison.
The car rides very well with the sport suspension turned off. And it rides pretty rough with it turned on. Unless you are going after it I don't see having the sport suspension turned on.

 

If you have Sport PASM, you have shorter stiffer springs and stiffer sway bars than the regular PASM or non-PASM suspension (and on the S you have the dynamic engine mounts). As I understand it, you get stiffer rebound on the sport setting than the regular setting from the shocks by pressing the "Sport" button- and that may happen when the sensors reach certain cornering acceleration thresholds anyway - not certain about this). So in a sense, you cannot "turn off" the sport PASM. the physical difference is always there and the feel is quite different from the non sport suspension- but still I find, supple and reasonable.

Even at the stiffest settings I find my 991 far more usable (as in I retain my fillings and don't get blurry vision :-) compared to my 2008 Boxter S RS-60 sport setting.

 

Not related to sport PASM,

I think the Chronos package is a must have option with the PDK. The sport plus setting makes the transmission shift in a whole different way. It is fast and hard. Launch control is also quite a bit of fun.

 

Those wheels with that paint- wow. I have to take a second look every time you post.

 

Get the pears once you get you realize the car was designed that way.

On mine not black, but you get the idea.

 

Here is how I plan to store the cars over the winter.

 

How tall is that garage? I'd love to do this but I suspect you need a pretty tall building. Was it custom built?

 

Congrats on the combo. I like the idea (and why I have a diesel).

Is the P-car yin? Yin is female and Yang is male

 

Good looking stable Detroit Shooter!! Best of both worlds if you ask me....did you buy or lease your Volt?

 

The garage is tall because we had the tall basement walls when we built the house. It is on a lake so you can only dig down so far. The tall garage was an effect of the house sticking out of the ground a few feet.

The height is in the 13 foot range. The ladder behind the car is a 12 foot ladder.

Here is a photo with the Porsche brand cover on the car. The cover seems perfect for what I wanted.

 

I leased the Volt, there was a very aggressive rate. The math would become suspect if you bought it.
