Talking New to me Panamera Turbo

I have been looking for a replacement for my wife's SUV, I finally convinced her to go with the Panamera. Our other option was a Rover -- no thanks.

Settled on a 2010 Turbo. RS Spyder wheels and lots of goodies in the cabin. I love the power and the handling. Black on black is menacing. I think I'd prefer the Turbo II wheels over the RS wheels. Might make the switch when the tires are toast.

I used to own a 997 Turbo that I regret selling to this day, but I had to make room for my 430. I love Porsche and this Panama has absolutely exceeded my expectations in every way.

The PDK launch control made me smile big time -- it makes my F1 transmission in the 430 feel ancient. The F1 has its own merits and suits the 430 extremely well, but PDK is just too smooth. I love it!

Near-supercar performance and I can put a baby seat in the back? What a deal.

Try installing a downpipe , agency y-pipe and a remap . It will become faster than a 458

I got a PTT a month ago... I love it. I'm going to get downpipes and x pipe soon. I read we can get up to 620hp with a remap, so that might be in the mix as well.

It's scary fast... I went from a z06 to a viper to a R8 to a PTT... my 4 door sedan is the fastest car I've owned.


Ohhh and I'm not a fan of the square tips, going to get custom 3" round tips as well.

Great choice on the Panamera! The only next best thing would be an Audi S8. But then you couldn't go as fast.

I know what you mean about the turbo. I had a 996tt I feel the same about but I do love the Panamera Turbo - I am amazed at the speed and handling of something my family can also comfortably ride in...

Congrats - looks like a nice garage!
