992 turbo s

Well my spec got locked in today and after saying to myself I was going to go standard, I changed to -10mm at the last minute.

I did quite a long drive today on a mixture of roads in my current -10mm and it felt great so thought I would just go with what I know, I also didn't want to risk it not looking as cool being higher haha.

Good man, did they give you a delivery date yet?

[Timbuktu]

Not yet, but it's only about four or five weeks I think!

Nice...stealth spec! Went with GT Silver myself. Looking for an easier colour to maintain this time!

[Timbuktu]

My current one is GT Silver, I love it, but black was what I originally wanted so thought I would go for it!

Worth trying lower tyre pressures if you're finding the ride on new turbo harsh chaps. Porsche often quote very high tyre pressures suitable for smooth German roads

This makes a huge difference and something Apolo mentioned when he took delivery of his 992 Carrera S.

It’s does massive difference not just on Turbo S , but on the stock C2s on cars with the -10mm,

this is interesting will need to try it i have a 992 4s at the minute with the pasm option, but I have a turbo s on order for May/June delivery and have went for the pasm -10mm option never found my current car uncomfortable but interested to see the difference this makes does it cause issues with the tpms?

Good point re tpms, you may have to tell it you have different size or season tyres to get around the if car gives you the range of options that others (ie Cayenne) do.

I had the lower -10mm on both my 992 Cab and Coupe S, both cars came on Pzero. First time I drove the the coupe it felt bouncy on some roads. So following morning dropped the pressures down to 31 -33 Cold. This transformed the car, you may need to re tech the sensors. Same for the Turbo S with lower Sports suspension, I would say on the Turbo S it improves the ride even better than the C2s, it’s still firm and lower stance etc, but the lower Psi’s go a long way to stop it feeling “bouncy” on some roads. I don’t get any warnings going off with the above PSis

will need to have a look but from memory I think you only get an option for full load i.e. higher pressures don't think there is an option for lower pressures?

I run 31 - 33 too on all our 911s. I can't understand Porsches own tyre settings. Almost make the car undriveable its become so bouncy on higher pressures. I couldn't understand Harry Metcalfe saying 992 C4S too stiff for our shores - I thought it was almost perfect for our roads so I suspect he had same issue on press car.

Also it’s worth investing in good quality hand held gauge. In my opinion unless you go for the lower 10mm in think you are missing out on a big part of what this new Turbo S is about. Great cars.

P recommended pressures for 991.2 gt3 are way off as well,1.9 bar front and 2.1bar rear are more than adequate cold temps.

[arcamalpha]

I just noticed the two centre-lock wheel options are slightly different widths. Do the exclusive design wheels stick out and fill the arches a little more or do they have a reduced offset to compensate?

IMI A would you say thats the same for the GT2rs as well or if any other GT owners would care to comment?

Thanks!

Based on my experience on roads and round Silverstone in my 2RS, I would say that out of all the 991 GT cars the 2RS is the most sensitive to tyre pressures. 100% run the above PSIs cold. They may take a few dial downs on track before they become stable though,

[IMI A]

They've done such a nice job with the styling on 992. On tyre pressures if you run 31-33 you'll get up to the higher quoted pressures quite quickly especially in a GT2 RS in fact on track you'd probably need to let even more air out. Cup 2 operate well at 35psi warm on track. Its a much more difficult tyre to drive well on i find. Makes the car more bumpy and slightly more nervous. Way faster but P4S id recommend for this new turbo. It will add some comfort to the ride quality with a softer side wall especially on the -10mm which admittedly looks nice and benefits of lower COG etc.

Looks the absolute nuts.
