Any other MT owners (possibly PDK as well) notice that there's a significant delay between when you fully lift off the throttle and when the car actually begins to decelerate? I've noticed that when in normal mode and decelerating, there's at least a 1 sec. delay before the car actually begins slowing. Less noticeable in sport and sport plus modes, but still there. I realize that there's always a bit of elasticity in e-gas systems, but it's a bit disconcerting that the car doesn't begin to slow immediately when the throttle is lifted.

Never noticed. I'll see if I notice tomorrow. Amazes me how much y'all notice about your cars. I'm in awe, quite frankly...

I think a delay has been built in for emissions control from the earliest days of Bosch mechanical fuel injection (around 1974). One-one thousand is a long time.

But now you have me wondering if it is set to give a little richness to also generate the overrun pop and crackle (aka backfire). That would be about the right time to induce an every time smile. Maybe PSE has conditioned me to not noticed the delay.

This is e-throttle mapping "feature". Certainly wasn't there in 997.1S. It is part of making the car less hardcore and more GT like. Certainly not as bad as MB's smoothing/delay of throttle tip-in, but half way there for sure. I absolutely hate it. That's why non-sport mode is useless to me. I always drive with sport mode on. I don't really feel it much then.

Your driving shoes probably take away a little bit of the feel...

...I'm still amazed by what I call the "Star Wars" effect....it kicks in when I'm accelerating down an onramp WOT...revs up and down, speedo up and blur all around the car....I look down and a few seconds later I'm doin 95...I don't notice much about delays, burps, shifts or anything else...perhaps it's my advanced age...

I think it is a space-time dimensional shift.

chuckbdc

Yes, that is part of the conspiracy to move the 911 into the GT ranks and away from the pure raw sports cars of yesteryear. Wave when you pass them.

holminator

Oh sh@#. Other Porsche owners have been waving to me too. Even today. Nobody respects the "flash" anymore.

That's a "pure raw sports car" over there in the avatar to the left

Just painted in a metallic Ferrari Tour de France Blue paint (obscenely priced at over $500 a gallon)
Four forward speed manual with two electric over drive gears
A mighty 120 hp (up from the stock 65)
3 Link rear with coil over shocks and panhard rod (definitely not stock)
Ceramic coating on headers
Dual Carbs
Kent 717 cam, aluminum flywheel,
No AC
No Power Steering...and...

.....it almost caught fire when the fuel filter started leaking the other day.....

The specs on that car are:

0-60 mph.....yes.

While I enjoy driving my MG, I love my Porsche...there is no substitute.

oh, and I hadn't' considered hot rods!
