Very cool

04BTturbo, I guess the others (the more mature, responsible ones.....I guess you call them the posers) already have said what I would hope most of us feel about speeding. You have a lot of great toys would love to see you at a race track and see how ya do!!!! IE take the cay TT to a track and let us know how it holds up to other cars out there, would love to see how it does, that would be better than the first story. (from one poser to another )

Well said Tom, from one apparent poser to another.
BTW, I see you are airing out your lower driving extremities in one of the photos
Remember to smile for the camera when posing

I will definitely take mine next summer, first do the PCA event then take it to thunderhill..

One question - why would you turn your PSM off?

skl

Turning off the PSM quickens throttle response and raises shift points if you don't shift yourself. It also won't go into 6th unless you do it yourself.

He thought it stood for "Police Scanner Mode".. with it off, the cops wouldn't know he was going 150 mph in "light" traffic.

PSM = Please Save Me

Thats not my understanding of PSM - here is the text from the Porsche web site????


All Cayenne models come with Porsche Stability Management (PSM) as standard. This powerful electronic system uses a range of control functions such as anti-lock braking to help stabilise the vehicle – and trailer, if fitted – in difficult driving conditions.

To do that, the system uses a series of sensors to monitor direction, speed, yaw velocity (speed of rotation around the vertical axis) and lateral acceleration. PSM is then able to calculate the actual direction of travel. If the car begins to oversteer or understeer, PSM applies selective braking on individual wheels so as to stabilise the vehicle. If braking isn’t enough to maintain control, PSM then intervenes in engine management to modify engine output as necessary. PSM also accesses a number of PTM systems, including the centre differential and longitudinal interlock. For off-road use, the ABD has been expanded by a tractionoriented off-road control strategy.

The driver is made aware of system operation by the PSM indicator on the instrument cluster which provides a significant improvement in control.

PSM makes an important contribution to keeping the vehicle safely on the course selected by the driver, within the physical limits. As well as compensating for loss of stability caused by mid-corner throttle or brake inputs, PSM helps optimise traction and directional stability when accelerating on difficult road surfaces.

The system can also reduce oversteer induced by sudden steering inputs – for example, when changing lanes or negotiating a rapid sequence of bends, as well as understeer encountered when entering a corner at speed, especially in low-grip conditions. Braking is stable in all types of weather, while braking distances are reduced to a minimum, particularly when braking in a bend.

If you’d rather enjoy your Cayenne unassisted, the system can also be disabled. For reasons of safety, the system remains active in the background and is automatically enabled if required under braking.

That PSM goes crazy when you are driving your cay at the track!! Even on long sweepers if left on will keep going off (of course this is also responsible for keeping you on the track!!) Once used to the track you can then turn the PSM off and tell us your stories!! Personally only went of the track with two wheels!!

PS, thanks Lewis, and they were my sons feet!!

Have some fun like this guy ? The track is the place to do this not on the public roads ..

dark knight

a little harsh perhaps?

ltc

My vote from the cheap seats......nope.

dark knight

remind me not to share any war stories w/y'all

Thats fine with us
