991 turbo/s tips and tricks

I hope this is not a repost, but always liked a thread on neat features that not everyone knows about.

I will start, probably a pretty well known one - Pulling both shift paddles makes the car go into neutral.

Not sure if this is exact but: driving over a certain speed with the sunroof open extends the rear wing even further

I didn't know that. In other forums they call them Easter Eggs. I am subscribed.

Just beware if you go into neural and cost to a stop the paddle shifters will NOT go back into gear unless your foot is on the brake. If there is slight movement the padddles will work but not fully stopped. When the car was new I panic'ed at a light because it would go into gear but realized you needed the foot pressed on the brake.

I couldn't do it. Does drive mode and or stick position affect it?
Someone please walk me step by step.

Yes, it's 75mph but I think you have to be in sport plus. When are you buying another one?

Did you pull the paddles and release right away? this feature is mentioned in the owners manual on page 177, I think turbo/turbo s have the same manual so I would assume this feature applies to your car.

If you have the keyless system, hovering your hand an inch or two over the bumper / just below the Porsche crest opens the frunk.

I can never make that work when I try, it always happens accidentally and I can never figure out how I did it.

Same here. I knew about that one but it is not very good.
