Itās amusing to observe people who donāt relish the era when SUVs can outpace supercars and sports cars. SUVs arenāt designed for such performance and are significantly more affordable. It wonāt be long before electric vehicles become lighter and surpass all competitors. Itās an inevitable trend.
What about physics? Itās 3,268 lbs vs. 2,515 lbs. To be quick in the corners, it doesnāt matter if itās an ICE car or an EVāthe weight is what really matters. Price doesnāt win Autocross. Put me in a $10k go-kart and Iāll smoke any EV or ICE car on an Autocross course.
I had the same suspicion, but I wasnāt sure how it would handle the very tight turns. I found out that several PCA members with Macans had the same concern and never brought their Macans either. Now theyāre excited to bring them to the next PCA Autocross. LOL
Iām approximately two seconds slower than the GT when running all-season tires. I believe the GTS equipped with summer tires can compete with the GTs.
I joined PCA to meet people who share the same passion for cars that I do. During dinner one night, a good friend from PCA told me about Autocross. I was honest with himāI had never heard of itābut it sounded like the missing piece for me to fully jump into PCA.
Last Saturday, PCA hosted an...
I received an alert from FedEx last Friday, indicating that my adapter should arrive tomorrow. If I recall correctly, I submitted the Porsche form approximately a month ago.
When itās time to replace my tires, I usually check out https://www.tirerack.com/. They generally have the original tires for my Audis. Iām curious if they also have the Macan tires. If they donāt have them in stock, they usually have them on general delivery, which is quicker.
On October 12th, it marked one year since I received my first Porsche ā and my first EV.
Itās not the only car my wife and I have; we also own a 2022 Audi SQ7. But judging by the mileage record for the first year, itās pretty clear which one is our favorite.
Whenever my wife drives the SQ7...
Porsche was super helpful and lent me a Cayenne for a week while they fixed it under warranty. Plus, they made sure I was compensated for any trouble it caused. Are you planning to replace it yourself? The Porsche mechanic took a whole week to fix it, and it turns out it wasnāt just the flap. I...
I think Iāve got the right replacement for my Audi SQ7, but not my Macan 4. I stumbled upon some cool info: all the Macan EV, Tycan, and Cayenne EV models coming out in 2026 will support Apple CarPlay Ultra. Iām just not sure about the older models.
My 4 (2024) has the Chrome package, which, on paper, doesn't offer any extra performance. However, I can honestly say I've never experienced a lack of power, even when accelerating from 65 mph to 80 or 90 mph. Once, on a highway in Mexico, an Audi S8 (V8 563 hp) tried to pass me. I saw it in my...
