    Blown Motor

    I would think a bent pushrod would also damage the rocker arm it’s working with. Sounds sketchy.

    I’ve found the secret sauce (track pads)

    Same here. Just traded the V for a 991.1 C4S yesterday. 2014 with just 22k miles and it’s a manual. It’s like brand new

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I do over 100 every time I take mine out for a derive. Good thing it was not in Va though, as you could do jail time......a weekend in the pokey. Jason Werth found out as did a Jalopnik writer.....did some hard time yo...

    CT4-V Intermittent Front (?) Suspension Noise

    I had a rear shock that did the same thing. Subtle at first then it got worse and I took it to the dealer, and the left rear shock was bad. It’s not supposed to be wet there. Take it in. Mine went bad when the GM strike was hitting, so no parts were shipped till that ended. But they got one in...

    CT4-V Some thoughts after test driving an auto 4-v blackwing, and asking for some advice regarding manual vs auto

    The 4 BW manual has the hill assist on the clutch and it won’t let you move backwards on a hill. The manual version has ti rods so it spins up a bit faster. The ability to adjust the steering, suspension, brake feel, traction modes and exhaust make it and the 5 BW one of the most configurable...

    CT4-V blackwing vs cayman gts 4.0 vs z06

    Yes, I had a 991.2 C4S manual with PdCC and RAS, and sports suspension….top notch build but it was a bit boring to drive, just not thrilling. I’ve not driven a 992, but I’ve read it’s also going in that direction. GT3 is a totally different animal though. Do not get a 991.1 GT3 unless it’s got...

    CT4-V blackwing vs cayman gts 4.0 vs z06

    Sounds like cost is not an issue for you, but getting a Porsche serviced at the dealership can get pricey and they need service often. Every three years it’s new plugs for example. I suggest you look up the service schedule and you might as well buy the service ahead of time, up to 5 years which...

    Introducing: The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing Le Monstre Edition & 2025 CT4-V Blackwing Petit Pataud Edition

    Who the hell wants to own an American V8 car with some snotty petulant French name attached to it.

    TC/Stabilitrak overly intrusive

    Why not use 1st gear when “driving down the road”? Note that the 4 BW manual has titanium rods, that helps the engine spin up quickly but also carrys less momentum. On those sharp low speed turns use 1st gear, it’s ok.

    Wheel Repair Fail

    Yes, I don't buy the rather pricey wheel and tire "warranty"....way too many stories on how the dealership brings in some dude...wo attempts to "fix" it....and fails. The sales guy also gets rated on how many people they can con into buying it....that and the interior "protection" package....

    Wheel Repair Fail

    Sharpies are all powerful.......they can even direct hurricanes. But yea, I'd push for a whole new wheel. Thats why I never buy these wheel packages....it's a huge money maker for the dealership and they never want to replace a wheel.....they just want to do some poor ass repair of it. Get a new...

    Octane ratings

    True but with a wideband sensor you can see a bigger voltage range and fine tune the AF ratio, and lean it out till you almost get to the point detonation by advancing the timing, which is what you do with race gas.
