Sweet spot

I believe there is a sweet spot for every panamera. I found it today at 82mph, 39psi tire pressure, PASM on sport plus, 89F outside temperature and normal mode (no sports mode). My p4s has 47K miles and it was on rails today.

Wondering if others feel the same about a sweet spot on their auto. If so what is that for you? And yes the Burm was off.

179 MPH is my sweet spot. If the stereo was on I wasn't listening to it.

I find it amazing that you can go more than twice the speed of your sweet spot and still have it behave just as well as it would at half the speed. Things just go past you a whole lot faster.

Glad you shared that. Because the max i have pushed it is just a wee bit over 3 digits. Possibly try it on a track to experience "whole lot faster". Wondering if you use a specific tire pressure setting when you push it that hard?
