Smile should I select PTV?
Hello guys,

I am ordering the new boxster s. PTV must go with PASM. Which means money. Since PTV is new for 991 and 981. Is it worth it? How will it behave on extreme twisty mountain road?

Thanks!

I would go with Torque Vectoring ... It will enhance the handling.

Breaker841 is infamous around these parts
PTV is nice to have, but it doesn't really help you go faster, basically just helps rotate the car when you overcook a turn... That being said you can do some pretty fun stuff if you don't mind drifting it through turns... Basically you can control the slip of the back tires by mashing the gas lol, it's kinda fun really!
