Guys,

Had it out again this morning - there's no stopping this thing! Let's just hope I make it to Foxboro today for today's Pats/Dolphins game.

Anyway, the most amazing thing is that it is nearly impossible to spin this thing. I again tried to some hard turns at about 20mph and the electronics methodically slow it down to a crawl without incident. I actually think you'd be better off trying this method in a panic stop rather than slamming the brakes and hoping the ABS works.

Eric

You're absolutely right. The PSM is just awesome. I tried doing the same and even with the crappy P Rossos on 19s, it still did not break the rear end loose! I tested the Cayenne against my ML500 and there is no comparison. The ML felt like a rear wheel drive car as the back just snapped out...fish tailing everywhere. I cant wait to get some snows on the pepper!

I drive my S daily in the snow here in Alaska and it was terrible with the stock 18" turanzas I put on Nokia Hakkeplettia dedicated snows and it is a totally different vehicle and is virtually unstoppable, I got a little greedy today with a parking spot and totally buried it and thought for sure I as stuck but I just raised the suspension to the high terrain level and engaged all of the differential locks and it backed right out. I have towed my four place enclosed snowmachine trailer and it works great except I have to figure out some wide mirror options to see around the trailer. So far nothing else on the road keeps up with it except my wifes allroad gives it a serious run for the money in the slick stuff and off the line.
