Not saying anything against Stuart's driving, but ... Most double clutch cars I have driven felt like they had plus 30 bhp over the manual equivalent! Remember being miffed that the auto BMW 328i I had as a loaner didnt feel that much off the oace of my 335i... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason3.2s Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Think I would be betting on the 981S PDK 0-60 winning on same tarmac vs GTS Manual. Unless youre sticking a racing driver in the GTS. Surely this has been done before by a youtuber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason3.2s Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Only one way to find out for real........... Probably need an airstrip or Santa Pod though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Stuart and I are going to organise it at Santa Pod. It would be great if another member with a GTS came along and joined in Any takers? Edit - my rear tyres are just about shot so it would be good to do this before I have to get new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason3.2s Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Eddie - I think you may struggle to find someone with a GTS Manual Car as I just looked at Auto Trader and all 13 for sale are PDK. Does anyone on here own GTS Manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutley Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 New theory. Stuart, even with your Photoshop skills, you have never managed to remove the black Porsche behind yours in your avatar photo. So after several years trying to track it down you have bought it so your avatar can stay as it is without giving you the night sweats. Elementary!

Araf Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 I think the Cayenne is being replaced with a Macan (which may or may not be a GTS), rather than the 981 being changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike597 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Nah how can you not love, the big battle bus? Why would you replace that with a q3 in a frock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its neither...I have one and had a Cayenne before it. I think the Macan shares a floorpan with the Audi Q5 that's about where the similarities finish. Its a great car to drive and is my daily river. 9 hours ago, mike597 said: Nah how can you not love, the big battle bus? Why would you replace that with a q3 in a frock?

It is a great car to drive and, IMHO, is one of the best looking SUVs. Anyway, this is off topic. Stuart is clearly enjoying his teasing, I'm just hopeful it eventual comes to something!!

Stuart is clearly enjoying his teasing, I'm just hopeful it eventual comes to something!! Of course. I was just baiting the Macan owners out there (Apparently, it worked!) It's a great car and a very different drive to the rather inert Q5. Even the Cayenne is extraordinary agile and engaging for a big SUV. I had one on loan when my Boxster was in for a service recently and it really surprised me, on a good way. Are we off topic? Only @Stuart21UK knows! ?

Andy Mac Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Oh for some more clues from @Stuart21UK .... 981 GTS or Spyder sounds like a good way to spend that commission.....
