991.2 owners discussion

We have the various threads for buying new Ts GTSs etc but not much for current owners

How much do people use 'normal' mode on their .2s? About the only time i do is in town or in traffice to reduce engine noise bit.

Would say i spend 80% time in sport 20% in normal and only have turned on sport plus a few times ro see what it does. Is this kinda typical?

I picked up GTS Cab a week ago on saturday, having come from a 430 spider, The PDK is so much better than the F1 box in the ferrari, I tend to be leaving it in auto mode most of the time 50/50 normal/sport. I thought I would be changing up manually all of the time because that's how you need to drive the fezzer, but I am pleasantly surprised. Also surprised at the fuel consumption which is giving me about 10mpg more than the 430. - Happy days :-)

Generally I love getting it out for a spin. If the T had existed when I bought mine I would probably have gone for this instead.

My 2 main issues with my manual car are:
1. The lack of a cable hand brake.
2. When the car is in sport mode with the PSE on, I hate the silly farty noises (effectively it's a 3rd exhaust setting). In normal mode with PSE on I'm perfectly happy with the sound. I may consider the Akrapovic upgrade at some point.

Has anyone got the sport design pack on their GTS?

It was not available when i specced mine would have pushed my build out a few months apparently

But i see this on the website now

Its low on pics so hard to see exactly what it is, a lower front splitter and bigger rear spoiler with a lip?

If so its quite subtle

You already have the sport design front with a GTS so this option is just the bigger spoiler lip. I have it and glad I went for it. It’s subtle, but definitely noticeable and I would spec it again.

I saw this

Anyone in the Uk done this mod?

[dvshannow]

it seems modding is a big NO NO on PH, i guess its just not a smart 'investment'

does anyone know any UK forums more like RennSport where people do tinker around with their cars a bit more?
