Took our 06 CTTS to Parade San Diego and my wife & I both autocrossed it (she got 1st.....OK there were only 2 ladies running but a win is a win). It is a spectacular machine. The term "SUV" is soooo not even close to a viable description of this monster. Perhaps "crazed wildebeast on acid during the rut"?

We (not 'we' as in all the forum membes, but 'we' as in my many personalties......) prefer the simpler term: Pig.
You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig, just a prettier pig.
Now matter how highly you regard the folks in the Weissach suspension department (and I know the Cayenne is not on their personal lists of achievement), not even they can get around the laws left behind by Sir Isaac Newton (Larry had tea with him last week, interesting guy), can hide the fact that the Cayenne is a 5500#, high center of gravity, understeering, brake dust generating.....
PIG.
Yes, the Turbo S is a slightly prettier version of the pig.....but it's still a pig.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, pwrsurg. Don't let ltc rain on your Parade (sorry, couldn't resist). He simply HATES the thought of a Cayenne on a track, apparently even if it's an autocross track where it's "piggishness" can't possibly endanger other drivers. It's still a hoot to drive on an AX course, and an even bigger hoot when your times have your mid-engine-opposed-cylinder-evangelical buddies kicking the cones and double-checking the timers' stopwatches. Besides, if you get your wife hooked, maybe she'll let you trade her Boxster in for a GT3 to add to your stable. You obviously have enough money to spend on tires and brake pads, so go have yourself a ball.
