Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I was speaking to a senior chap at a Porsche main dealership the other day and he told me that if you pull your hand break on to the first click that this makes it stay in rear wheel drive so you can have some easier accessed tail out fun. Just wondering in anyone new if this is true and to inform people if it is

ferdi p said: Surely this should have been posted 87 days ago!? Haha. The guy obviously believed it as I don't think they want to mess me around anymore after I made them give me a brand new car when they kept messing me around and could not fixing my other one. But they do talk a lot of b ks at my main dealers
To be fair to the engineer this rumour has been doing the rounds ever since the PDK solution was launched Been covered on pistonheads before (can't find the link) He is a very early one from 2008 http://www.porscheophile.com/2008/11/carerra-4-wit...
Seems to work for the NA cars. My wife tried it at PEC. Can't speak for the Turbo.
I tried it on a skid pan with my 997.2 Turbo last year and it didn't seem to work. It was also really obvious that the car was still doing things to stabilise itself with PSM etc switched off - it wasn't much fun TBH. The best way I've found of making the car feel more "rear drive" was changing out the geometry - that improved the turn-in a lot and made the back-end of the car a bit more engaged and playful (without turning the car into a deathtrap).
That is true. I used this all the time on my 997 Turbo Gen 1. You pull the handbrake one click and the car is a perfect drift machine!
