Default PSM OFF = New Driving Experience

After driving relatively gently for the first 2K break in period, i decided to see how the vehicle would drive with the PSM off. I did this because of the hesitation issue that i have been experiencing

WOW - it is a completely different experience. No hesitation, instant response to the pedal, feels more like my 911 now
- Unfortunately, i think the gas mileage will suffer

Probably most Rennlister's know this already

Correct.
BTW, there is no hesitation problem, so stop mentioning it.

Yes, on my 2006 CS the PSM button changes the throttle response and makes the car start in 1st gear instead of 2nd. Much more fun.

It's true it is a whole different vehicle with the PSM OFF.

This is why ENIGMAWMN has the best avatar on Rennlist.

I am on the wife for the A8/996 GT3 two for one all the time...
I would happily abandon the CTT for that that!
She is anti Audi.... I have considered divorce, but keeping the CTT is cheaper, so far!

She likes the Maserati Quatroport, but from what I can tell that has the mind of a Cayenne and the temper of a southern Italian..

Thank you, Rome.

But according to NY DMV PSM OFF = **** 'Em Off. That's why this plate was deemed "vulgar & offensive" and thus, not approved.

I just now figured out that EnigmaWmn's avatar is PSM Off......I always thought it was PMS Off......I should have paid more attention before.

Has she driven the A8? I can't imagine she would still have the same opinion after spending some time behind the wheel. A8 is a great car.

I got invited to spend a day at Road Atlanta driving the new Maseratti's.
(Hell, I'd even drive a Cayenne if it allowed me to get a free track day at Road Atlanta)
Very Italian interior (beautiful high quality leather......none of the controls are where you would expect them to be), Ferrari powertrain (CambioCorse transmission was excellent, sport exhaust sound was typical Ferrari), Skyhook suspension was OK.
They have been giving people one free 'goodwill' clutch as some people take a while to learn CambioCorse.
