I noticed that if I turned off the stiffer setting on the suspension that the sport button still stayed lit. Does that mean that you still get the overboost without having to put up with the stiffer suspension? Sorry if the answer is in the manual but there's no time to read the manual with this kind of car fun.

 

Indeed. you have the option of turning on Sport button and switching suspension to normal. That provides better response and the overboost function without hardening up the suspension.

 

Interesting. I never knew that. I'll try it today. Normally in SC mode the harder suspension setting is the better way to go anyway but its nice to know you have other options.

 

Precisely. I typically turn on sport and turn off PASM firm anytime other than the track. I like the better throttle response.

 

Better response ?
never felt a better response from turning off the PASM !

 

I think you refer to PSM? Yes If thats switched off then you may have some serious problems if you are not carefull .

PASM is the suspension setting for hard and soft .

 

well said honestly the 997tt 4 wheel drive is a bit high from ground and and suspension is not really the best, due to high speeds around 260-300km/h u cant keep the car in one line , not really cant but u'll feel how unstable it is .
without the PASM on u'll feel the air flow under the car playing with the aerodynamic and how the car is jumping u'll feel like u easily can lose control !
but in other hand keeping the PASM on with the suspension helps to keep the car more stable and stiffer like one piece with the road ..

 

Ahh yes, know what u mean now. Sorry yalmutawa, my bad for earlier post. Agree you need suspension stiff as possible at these high speeds. Wow...you can do 260 300kms over your way. Im envious. So no cops to worry about?

 

322 once or twice a week :P
when i had my tiptronic

 

Being able to do that makes one think seriously about changing countries. 322 just once per month would be good enough for me in Tip,Stick or PDK....well....maybe more than once if one do that kind of thing without any fuss being made .

 

lol. We don't need to worry about those speeds up here either. Anything over 150km/h means trouble...if caught.
The stiffer setting might be better on the track but it's not needed on the roads up here. Although some roads are decent there are enough bumps to render the stiffer suspension setting unnecessary at least for me. Now the overboost is another story. I like it and can use it anywhere without worrying about my fillings falling out.
