I think it's an indication that Porsche has more money than they know what to do with.
225s were definitely an issue when I had my Boxer. I think I bought some from you way back, not sure. Edward, are you planning to use it on a...
This whole thread gives me an uneasy feeling, especially because the master tech who has worked on my 612 OTO since new just retired...
Which model are we talking about? In the 612, it always starts in Auto Easy Exit mode, which if I remember correctly, shows "AUTO" with a little...
They are very sensitive to battery voltage as well, which is always something to keep in mind. Mine lives on a battery tender unless I am on the road.
Interesting. You might try it with the car in first gear and see what happens. On mine, if I keep holding the starter button down, it starts...
What were your jobs at Porsche?
You absolutely need to wait before hitting the start button, in gear or not. If you don't, you will occasionally get the various warnings about...
It doesn't just say it is physically possible, it says you CAN ALSO start with it in gear. There are no notes, cautions, limitations, or...
But... my manual says it is fine to start in gear. What part of "The engine can also be started with a gear engaged" am I not understanding?...
Your understanding of what it is doing is incorrect. The car always starts in neutral. If it is in gear when you press the start button, the...
My OTO is for the "MY2008" 612 Scaglietti. However, since it does not reference the start button, I think it is for the slightly older version....
I like it! Very cool.
Yes, I think they improved the system. I recall asking the after-sales guy at the factory about it as well, and he said it didn't matter if you...
Amazing. I can tell you with certainty that the inverse is true-- California is happy to take your money.
This is an interesting story about the ad campaign I showed above... Chiat/Day did some of the best advertising work ever, and they created that...
The 612 OTO owner's manual says nothing about starting in neutral. I have learned over the years to start the car slowly-- key on, wait until the...
It is funny, the 930 looks kind of outrageous (although not in the Countach's league), yet functionally it's as usable a daily driver as any other...
I like the conclusion of the C/D 928 review, written by the great Csaba Csere (C/D had some fantastic writers in the 1980s-- I remember the...
This C/D test of a 1985 928S says the MSRP (in USD) was $50,000;...
