I track my car in 4 day weekends. 9am-4pm is when the track is open, I have track prep, letting air out or putting air in, 1 hour lunch or 2, time to get gas, leaves me with 4-5 sessions a day, I drive in 30 minute sessions.
after 8 - 10 days the tires do get a little heat cycled but they are still fun to drive on I like to call it driving on greasy tires, but there is still good amount of tread left, usually for the last 4 day days it’s a little iffy, sometimes if it rains during the other days that saves my tires more and it will last the full 12 days but it’s more common for them to get heat cycled at 8-10 days and I just have to be more careful the last few days
granted I am not driving like I have to qualify for some race, I just drive on the track for fun
Makes sense. I would get 5-8 days out of a set of PS4s driving at 7/10ths in the M3. That's a significantly heavier car (3900lbs) with more power and AWD. So 8-12 in the T makes sense to me. I prefer Cup2 for track work but PS4s work just fine too.

Major global banks like ours keep stats on anything money related. I wonder which city has the most billionaires…. 😝
Hmmmmmmmm - Knight Frank…thats all i’ll say on them….
@ECNJ It's rumoured that you are a multimillionaire many times over. Must be a wonderful feeling?
Thank you! I have seen a lot of this type of direct connect solution and agree that makes a lot of sense. Since I already bought the clamp style, figured I would give it a shot/take advice from anyone on here that bought the Porsche Branded solution as well. If clamps prove to not work well will switch to this...
Hey toph, hope you are well. I set mine up just like ECNJ showed coming up by the windshield in the pictures and keep it plugged in all times at my garage, working great and no need to keep the frunk propped. I used the eyelet connectors on the 992 since it was easy to install, but on my others cars I have not been able to easily install the eyelets on the battery terminals so I do the same thing with the clamps and they stay solid all winter with no issues.

@Barkat03 That was all in fun. Reality is that equity buildup in real estate alone globally allows for many many multi-millionaires. A Porsha is only a small percentage of many’s net worth. And as peeps here pointed out many many of us can afford just about any sports car but choose the T. For example, I love the GT3 RS. Seen many in my neighborhood and recently got a ride in one, but for me T works better cuz i 100% want a manual. Now, if my friend sells me his black GT3 at a good price….ha. Unlike some people, I’ll never say my T is my forever car, but I’m excited every time I cold start and hear that boxer engine roar!
Yes it’s nice to not worry about money ever. But, I love life period and am extremely blessed to afford things like homes and my T…ha, should i repeat how much i love my T! 😃 Life is great innit?!
If you heard the Bose system, you'd never let that be a deterring factor.
Haven't listened to a non-Bose 992. I'm not that picky about sound even in our daily drivers. But I still have a bad memory from picking one car with a base audio option I always regretted.

Thanks for the feedback! Setting up this afternoon and will let everyone know how it goes/what the final solution is when you go with the Porsche Branded option with clamps
The stats are readily available - feel free to check them out. One in ten London homes is worth more than £1m.
£1m = $1.26m so if you use $$’s it’s even more than one in ten.
China is world’s biggest market for Porsches, followed by USA and Germany. UK is 4th biggest with a population somewhat smaller than China and USA😄
I didn't realize that the UK had banned mortgages.

Exactly! You are 100% correct
I love the PS4s but I got a multiple nails in my set so they were ruined and not viable for the track, so I got some Cup 2s and a new set of rims to stay at the track

The (sorry, one of many) great things about the T is that it doesn’t shout “Money”.

I have the base system and i was shocked at how bad it is.
I sounds like im playing music from my iPhone speaker stored in the door pocket
It's really thin sounding. I really initially thought only the drivers door speaker was working. There are no great controls to improve much... treble bass and balance
Ok update…
The Porsche branded trickle charger and clamps actually function perfectly… easy to install, replace all trim pieces and have hood fully latched and locked for storage
Clamps attached to positive battery terminal on passenger side and the ground bolt on driver side… pulled the wires apart and they reached no problem.
from there routed the wires through the trim panel and replaced it as pictured below
turned the trickle charger on after everything connected and it immediately jumped to half charge status
waited for a few minutes and it jumped to fully charged
then it transitioned to standby mode as shown. Locked and unlocked the car a few times just to see if it affected it and it turned the charger back on to provide some power…
both my girls sleeping well next to each other…
