No snow yet
I hope cLyDe sees this, but thanks for the update. Nice report. Any concerns with snow and the car’s stock tires? I’m sure the traction control will be working overtime! I’d be interested to hear how the car copes with that and, if I remember correctly, that manettino switch on the steering wheel has an “icy” setting?
The comment about abused transmissions reminded me of an opportunity I had to drive a new (back then, circa 2012) Porsche 911 with the PDK during a “Porsche Driving Experience” event. There was one section where we were running along a pleasantly curvy road, at (somewhat) legal speeds and the damn thing could not make up it’s mind whether to be in second gear, or third. Constantly hunting between those gears. Incredibly annoying. Not that the car was lurching or jerking, but you could hear the thing flipping back and forth. I switched it out of auto and kept it in manual for the rest of the drive.
They redeemed themselves because the following year, at the same event, I drove a Cayman with the PDK and it was totally different. No hunting and overall, was such a better car than the 911.
Good luck cLyDe and have fun!
