    SoCal should get in touch with this tuner. Maybe he can get this Automatic Mode tune that lets it rev high and stop short shifting.

    To the op. If you didnt like the car, you didnt like the car. There is no need to apologize. At the very least you actually drove the car before forming your opinion which is more than can be said for some on this forum. If you like your porsche, try a GR3 RS- NA engine, great sound and it will seem more familiar to your Porsche. If you are looking for a Ferrari, consider an F12. - those have come down significantly and sound and driving is great on them. Either way, drive in good health and enjoy your car.

    Aah yes, Holiday in express. Make sure you get a corner room. They have the best light. I also would not stay on any floor above the 3rd as the top floors do not have as much reinforcement and the sound from the other rooms is louder in those room. As I mentioned Ive never actually stayed at a holiday in express but I did spend one night in a Hilton back in the day. Found the stay to be boring so I just dont stay in hotels anymore but the above information, you can take it to the bank its that accurate.

    As luck would have it I found your pic sitting on the Hilton ledge “ back in the day “ so I know you have experience of what you speak of. .

    You got something black in your teeth, SoCal. Looks to be a feather of some sort.

    Shouldn't that say "Grandmother"? Writing Grandma is just lazy, like you are just in some auto mode, mailing it in.

    Admit it- writing it all out was a lot more enjoyable. You were able to really bond with the pen and paper that way. Otherwise writing grandma is just boring.

    You're flat out wrong. Can't even admit it. For all the **** you talk about "owning cars" and "real experience", you don't even know how your own car works 4 months after getting it. Conserve gas and keep revs low? LOL. It works pretty much just like I told you it does, just like all McLarens, just like I remember it working, but no, you're right and everyone else is wrong. Maybe if you actually tried it you would know how it works in various modes.

    Hilarious stuff.
    Funny reading people responding to someone I have on ignore.
    With the new FChat format when someone (noone) is on ignore his postings are completely invisible, don’t even see a blank post like in the old days.
    Love it, great feature.
    Seriously guys, you complain endlessly about a useless troll of a poster, yet you continue to read his posts and respond. That is nonsensical.
    Everyone reading this should put “noone” on ignore...over time the fool will go annoy elsewhere.

    Rob , I was at the beach on Monday and found this to be really entertaining . If I had noone1 on ignore I would have missed the show and now I have a new like minded buddy here on Fchat. So that said , thanks noone1.

    I’ve got him on ignore as well. Life is so much better as I don’t have to listen to car driving advice from someone who doesn’t own a car. Should have done this a long time ago. Oh and I went to the gym in my 720 yesterday. Drove in auto mode. It sucked. Don’t know why I bothered.

    Yeah- ignore feature is really good. Im sure he is all over this thread pontificating his driving expertise but I have no friggin clue what he is writing cause I have him on ignore. I should have done this a long time ago. However I will guarantee you one thing- no matter how many people have him on ignore, no matter how nonsensical his posts are, no matter how much he tries to be an expert on things he knows nothing about - he aint going anywhere.

    He aint buying a car.

    He aint leaving Fchat.

    He aint driving in anything but auto mode.

    I gotta go- there is a new website that just opened regarding gardening which I know nothing about, have no interest in ever gardening and dont plan to buy a lawnmower anytime soon but people posting there are posting incorrect information. Let me go offer my wisdom to them. Ciao.
