Bose is better than SPP and very nice to have but it's not amazing, you can upgrade sound package plus quite easily. My faves in my car are the PSE, leather dash, heated seat sport seat plus, PASM mostly because it rides nicely and for the lowered ride height, and the paddles on the wheel. Sport Chrono isn't anything to write home about. Each to their own Daz. For me the engineering design, driving balance & motor are what make the 981 what it is & is why the 718 (non 4.0) don't do it for me. It's OK to just want a Porsche with the modernity switches too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATM Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 19 hours ago, CMA said: Not sure of the origins of this graphic I found on Planet-9 but it matches my discussions with the OPC and other sources and my feel in the car. 3 different levels of throttle "response" and 3 different levels (and mappings) for the pdk changes. The changes in Sports+ are much faster than in Sports, which is faster than in normal. Also in Sports and Sports+ there are different levels of PSM applied, so in sports you get a bit more slip before it kicks in to save you and more in sports+ I have sports+ because the car came with it. It wasn't a requirement but if I tracked the car it would be. But I don't have PASM either as I find the normal suspension perfectly fine. And yes the mounts are fkin expensive outside of warranty having just replaced one and now sat waiting for the other to go Not sure I agree with this as it says Backfire - presumably that's artificial pops and crackles - active only in Sport not in Sport Plus. I will admit I only tried Sport Plus briefly but surely it still does this, maybe not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On mine it's doesn't pop and crackle in Sports+ it uses all the fuel and mapping for performance rather than show. You do still get the odd one but it's the mechanical ones from the exhaust design not the fabricated ones from the mapping.

Mattman42 Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 depends what you plan to use the car for, but i wouldn't get too hung up on paying a premium for a low mileage car if you are going to use it regulary - many times its been said on here, buy on condition, spec and service history, mileage is down the list unless you are going to tuck it away and use it sparingly. i.e. don't let the right car with the right spec get away from you if it has a few more miles on but has been well looked after and regularly maintained 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
