That’s awesome but it’s BaT which means it will sell for double what it’s worth. Also seems to have a LOT of rust underneath, Porsches are very well corrosion protected and I’ve rarely seen one with that much visible rust.

I love my auto, no question, I've now "raced" A red label Audi Q5 and trounced it, fun with a Panamera, just spirited fun, got stomped by a brand new Cayman GTS the other day though we both had fun with thumbs up. The Cayman was insanely quick.

I still have to learn how to use the paddles though they are not my thing at all.

I would think more 6 speed Turbos than GTSs. Who knows.

The trans is very truck ish it just doesn't fit with the rest of the truck which as Shaun now knows
is fantastic. Want a stick? Get a sports car
I have a 100k example in my shop now ,crunchy 3rd gear, no parts available 10k for a rebuilt from Porsche. I've never changed an auto, of which i've got hundreds (clients)

That is super valuable information

Thanks Dan

At $18K now, it will certainly go well into the $30s.

I've driven a few auto Porsches. I wouldn't bother to use the paddles with the auto. The computer does a decent enough job of shifting. If I wanted to shift for some reason, I might use the paddle

If it was a PDK, that's another story. I'd used the paddles then.

Agree with using the Tiptronic buttons, they are useless and the automatic tuning is pretty decent anyway. In my experience the Tip buttons are slow to respond and don’t always do what you want anyway.

No stick was ever offered with the Turbo, that one was automatic only. They offered a stick in the base V6 models and obviously the GTS. I don’t recall them offering one in the V8 S models but maybe I’ve just never seen one.

Well that was fun.

$31k, damn! Cool truck but with 155k that’s way too rich for my blood.
