I drove 1,900 miles in 2 days to collect mine last year, ran perfect and loved the trip
Leading evidence: 'Run perfect and loved the trip' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean engine out observation' (1 discussions).

I can vouch for that cleaning the engine out observation.

However, the long trip at sustained high speeds also seems to have "cleaned it out" if such a thing is still possible these days, and it seems to run better and faster even at altitude.

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.

The annual father daughter road trip kicked off with a mammoth 1018 mile leg from Northern Colorado to Sparks, NV (Porsche's old US HQ)...
A little tired but impressed that the car can average 78mph while returning 27mpg over the distance which includes half an hour of crawling to get by a head on in a Wyoming construction zone.
Tomorrow continues to the Bay Area, then next week to Central Coast and on to LA and back via the southern route...
Excellent to hear! I have done two long distance road trips, one covering 1300 miles on day one. Like you, although I was tired, I honestly couldn't wait to get back in the seat, and also had the experience of great fuel mileage with an avg speed of 82 mph. A lot more fun to be in the seat and on the road than looking at these cars sitting in the garage. Safe and enjoyable travels to you.
Thanks guys, getting ready to start Day 2. Since I bought the car in NJ and drive it home last year, today will make it complete its coast to coast journey (with an 8month R&R in the middle...). Love driving this car, had 2 troopers turn and pace me for miles yesterday and several compliments at rest stops (uh, about the car, that is!)
At first I thought this was a follow up to the post about taking a 200 mile 'road trip'. I even though the original poster was going to split it up into two days.
Haha, not me, I'll drive 200 miles for a good lunch and am not afraid to drive my car, it's a car not an ornament. Currently in San Luis Obispo (my alma mater) 1600 miles into the trip. Drove hwy25 past Pinnacles National Monument this morning, what a fantastic road with nobody on it!
Tomorrow heading down towards LA for a couple of days. Heading back home Saturday will be interesting, Las Vegas is forecast to be 117 degrees. That means that my car will have been in temps with a 117 differential in the same year as I recorded a 0 degree drive at the beginning of the year.
I am glad you are having such a wonderful time with your car and the trip. Best of luck, be careful out there....wish I had the time/opportunity to do exactly the same. Maybe someday.....
KK, contrary to popular belief you don’t have to replace you IMS or oil every 300 miles!!
I drove 1,900 miles in 2 days to collect mine last year, ran perfect and loved the trip
When I leave work today, I'm going to pick up my son and go for a 160 mile trip to our family's lakehouse (1/2 highway, 1/2 twisty back roads). I'm looking forward more to the drive than the rest of the weekend!
Made it back late last night after a non-stop drive from LA to Fort Collins (well, except for various gas, food, and bathroom stops, completely unable to coordinate the three due to my 10year old daughter's whims and apparently tiny bladder... :-)
Drove a total of 3005 miles in 9 days, saw many old friends, my daughter was able to re-establish or start friendships with all of their kids and we had some great bonding times which is what it is all about.
Now I need to get ready to remove 3005 miles worth of bugs and I'm sure find a few new stone chips, but that's all part of the fun and memories (the chips, not the bugs). There is a nice large box from Griot's that arrived while I was gone to help with that....
Didn't really end up with any great pix, the camera ate its memory card halfway through and the iPhone, while being mediocre as a phone, is also mediocre as a camera (purely IMO, of course). Need to replace soon.
The car did fantastic, it is amazing what kind of performance comes back when you descend to sea level from the 5000ft here at home. However, the long trip at sustained high speeds also seems to have "cleaned it out" if such a thing is still possible these days, and it seems to run better and faster even at altitude. I guess daily driving it even with some regular freeway and redline events does maybe affect it a bit. However that's the whole point of a Porsche, an everyday drive-able very fast car that really asks for no significantly special treatment relative to any other mundane car.
Saw exterior temps as high as 113 in Nevada yesterday, the car itself had its needle between just touching the right side of the 8 in 180 to maybe one needle width's to the right of that, AC maintained a comfortable 70 degrees at half fan speed the whole time while we had some great high speed passes on tourist mobiles on the sweepers of that corner of AZ that you go through on I-15 between NV and UT.
How is it that it seems every Prius in the world is now a tourist mobile in the summer, and many running at around 85-90mph? Not sure how you get any gas mileage doing that with the giant roofboxes most were carrying. We averaged just under 26mpg overall which included a lot of SF and LA traffic but is remarkable nonetheless.
I've got a few observations and questions re: tires (new HTRZIII's) /wheels (5spoke factory light weights) /suspension (stock) and other things that I had time to ponder which I will pose in another thread later...
Glad to be back, time to mow the lawn and de-bug the car...
Glad you made it back safe and sound. Makes me want to hit the road again just reading your posts. Soon I think. Well, after September.
I can vouch for that cleaning the engine out observation. A freeway drive at sustained high (though legal) speed has the engine in either of my Porsches purring like a kitten yet still able to growl like a tiger when I step on its tail...
