I think he meant vs. The 4s.

 

That would make sense and I certainly could have read it wrong. Quote:

I have a 2013 Panamera GTS. Bought 2013 over the 2014 to avoid the turbo lag issue.

Either way all good. Enjoy!!

 

And I noticed: you look at performance between the new 4s and GTS and it's basically a wash. GTS slight edge.

 

When you stating 36psi you mean tire cold or tire warm? What model porsche do you own? Thanks

 

COLD tire pressure. Referenced to 68 def F ambient.

Don't any of you folks read or even look in the owners manuals?

There is a great app for IPad called "Good to know" that has the owners manual and a host of videos for your car.

 

So, it will be around 40psi when tires is warm. So you put 36 psi all around?

 

Without giving a lecture on the "The Ideal Gas Law" from physics and mechanical entering classes, yes your temps will increase about 2 psi. It all depends upon how hot it is at the time, and how fast or hard have you worked the tires and whether you tires ar filled with air or nitrogen. They could increase 3 or more psi.

Check your pressures before you leave the house. If you don't have a home air compressor, you'll at least know how much needs to be added. When you get to the nearest air pump, add the amount you derived at home. If you haven't got a pressure gauge, buy one. You can get a very accurate digital gauge for under $20 at any auto parts store.

....lecture finished.

 

My '16 GTS is very comfortable. I have taken 2 long trips so far (3-4 hrs each) and was very fresh after arriving. I drove in standard mode with tire pressure at 38 psi (all season tires). I leave the exhaust set to sport since I love the growling sound. With the current N/A V8, there is no lag. I have a feeling the 2017 model will have a V6 turbo. My prior 2013 Panny S was a hybrid and the suspension in std mode set on both felt the same.

 

Guess it is a question of perspective: I came from a 911S and find my GTS very cushiony and comfy, but you drive any Towncar over the same roads and the GTS feels rough!

Fatigue: no issues at all. I did a one day turnaround Vegas to LA, about 550miles in 10hours (LA traffic jams suck) and no issues at all, neither back nor general exhaustion.
