992 GTS chassis too hard

  • I find the suspension of the GTS with PDCC perfect.


    I'm thrilled with how the car keeps contact with the ground, especially on bad roads - the Nordschleife is, after all, the reference track for an undulating road - I never noticed any bouncing or the like on bad roads.

    It's soft enough for the Sunday drive and works really great on a GP track.

  • Could you ever compare to one without PDCC? Do not have it currently, but for the coming currently scheduled. But I'm not sure, because he also drives so super good, whether it's worth it me (no track)

  • Stefan is actually quite simple. How do you rate your own driving style and level?

    Do you like to drive really crisp in the curves and use the chassis? Do you sometimes get into the range that the tires start to squeak? Then you will feel the PDCC and it will be worth it for you.

    If you just enjoy the beautiful car and like to give a little gas now and then on the straight you will not come into the range where the PDCC works because for that the body already has to work so that it is necessary at all.


    I test sporty chassis on my standard route here around the corner consisting of two Kreisverkeheren out of town connected with a downhill curve.

    There I feel the difference immediately and clearly.

    Do probably the fewest need it but it definitely does not hurt. It makes the chassis only better but not worse.

    Especially with the Cabrio/Targa or the 911 Turbo which are quite heavy and have more body movement than a 2 GTS Coupe. That's where it's most likely to be tolerable.

  • Beautifully described 👍

  • Thanks for your thoughts, makes sense as you describe it... It's a Daily but there is the one or the other curve that I know well and where I already enjoy cornering when the situation is right. Bein next is to add a glass roof, that should weigh around 20 kg and that far up, find the look good, currently I do not have it. Whether you (I) would feel that, probably not but I am therefore rather pro PDCC ... would not like to miss it later already have a 2nd order, because I would do a few things differently now 😄 ...

  • You always write about sports cars having to be hard, do you?

    What about McLaren? They can do it without being hard as nails????

    and on the track a softer set-up is often better.

    Be careful, these are not absolute or measurable statements, but individual and therefore subjective impressions. Personally, I have not yet driven a McLaren or Lambo or Ferrari. But I can't imagine that they are more comfortably tuned.


    But yes, relatively speaking, a suspension (which includes more than just springs and dampers) in a sports car will always be harder/tighter in the basic tuning. There is no other way, otherwise the desired performance (grip, feedback) cannot be achieved. Porsche is generally regarded as a reference in terms of the balancing act between everyday life and the racetrack. With a GTx, the purchase is a compromise in the direction of track performance, and you should be aware of that, regardless of your visual preferences.


    As for the track, of course there is the old and true suspension principle of "as soft as possible, as hard as necessary". But "soft" for the track still means pretty hard in everyday use. Track tuning for HHR GP or Mugello is hardly drivable on the country road.

  • Do you have pdcc or without?


    Well me, as well as my wife feel the suspension is perfect.

    Hi a question, are you happy with the aero package?


    Many greetings

  • That's an optical question: I found it mega from the beginning.


    I ordered it without having seen it live before - and I was pleasantly surprised at how big the piano is.

  • The Porsche is basically characterized by a decent negative spring travel. This does a great deal for driving stability, but at the expense of positive spring travel. In order for the corresponding positive spring travel to cover the range of the load, there is no getting around a certain hardness-unless you make use of the PASM, which can absorb some of it.

    I ordered without having seen it before in live - and was totally positively surprised how big the wing is.

    Hello,bought mine so with 2500 km 3 weeks ago, was skeptical because of the aero package (too much of a good thing?.) but I like better and better....merke but the so-called experts are divided in two regarding the optics... :thumbsup:
