    Put some new rear tires on my car the other day and I noticed that at highway speeds when I accelerate my car seems to pull to slightly to the left and when I deaccelerate it goes back in line. It doesn't happen on every road but on I95 it occurs most. Is this a natural phenomenon do to the torque generated by the drive wheel (no LSD)? Could it be the new rear tires (Potenza 050A's) fyi the fronts are the same but are N0's and the new rears are N-1's. One of the technical guys at the tire rack said there are two different compunds between the N0 and N1 tires and said they should have only recommended N0's to match the fronts as the N1's will cause problems if mixed with N0's. Tire Rack is sending me a set of N0's to swap into. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks

    Thanks, I try to keep the pressures as high as possible but also not too high (actually lower than the factory specs) trying to avoid the typical centers of the rear tires getting worn first and I must say they have worn very evenly.

    Sweet...thanks.

    Thanks guys...the tiore rack has the N1 not the N0's...anyone know the diff?

    The Tire Rack is out of the rears for an S..anyone know of another trusted and competitive source? Thanks
  7. 500
    Good thought...I'll either do that or just take it in. Thanks

    Nothing. Tried it the second time and nothing...third time fired right up just like she always does. Checked the battery and it is strong. What could it be, bad ignition switch, bad switch for clutch pedal? Thanks

    I'm in South Florida...why do you think a bottle of Techron is not a good product/idea?
  13. 500
    Thanks Paul...I don't know where race gas is available around here but I will add a bottle of Techron to the fuel which should clean things nicely as well.
  14. 500
    Paul, What would the race gas due besides dramatially iincrease the octane? Thanks

    I also have an '07 997s and experience the same problem. I would describe it as a hesitation or lack of initial throttle response. When I use sport mode I do not seem to notice the problem. I was also given a caymen for a loaner and it seemed even worse. My '98 boxster never did it. I tried switching to sport the other day right after I noticed the problem ...it unfortunately made no difference and as always went away after I drove the car for about 50 ft.

    No fault codes and dealer say its a normal phenomenon and is probably fuel related which does not hold water w/ me as none of my other German cars have this issue.
  17. 500
    Sorry, 07 997S Six Speed.
  18. 500
    After my car is driven for a while to full op temp and then parked for say 2 hours right after starting it when I give the car some rpms/blip the throttle slightly with the clutch pedal pressed I get a slight hesitation or mis. This seems to come and go and the tech at my dealer says there is nothing they can do about it. Anyone else experience this?
  19. 500
    Thanks..so then what is causing the discrepency (27 miles) between my total miles accumulated vs. the odometer?
  20. 500
    Thanks RFM can't wait to hear what they say.
  21. 500
    Thanks loooking forward to a plausible explanation :)
  22. 500
    I don't have navi...

    I just spoke with one of the techs at the local P car delaership and he said Porsche (and all makes) are allowed to rest the odo up to 100 miles after they have done testing at the factory...he thinks that maybe during one of the tests, maybe the rattle test, something was heard and the car was driven back to the factory to get corrected then back over the bumps/rattle testing area until they got it right which would account for the extra miles...then they reset the odo but forgot to reset the travel function. He also said he's seen new cars come of the truck with the trip odo showing more miles than the main odo... I'd be curious to see if anyones else's car had different #'s. Here's how to check: 1) With ign on press the trip button on pcm 2) Go to travel data and press continuous (continuous may already be selected) 3) Compare the travel data continuous # to your odo. Thanks.

    My car's odo shows 9403 miles and the trip computer's travel data function shows total miles driven as 9430.6 along with 399:47 total hours & mins of operation etc...I wonder why there is a 27 mile difference? I was there when my car came off the truck and saw it only had 3 miles on it. Perhaps the miles were Porsche road testing and they cleared the odo but not the trip computer? If you have a minute check it on your own cars and see what you guys get. Thanks.

    Thanks RFM. I hoping it's just a bad sensor and not a contact issue due to a leak.
