This is one of my favorite dailies on beyond

.. Absolutely needs to see the trackhawk

[Ekliptix]

I'll line up with the Trackhawk anytime. Time and place.

So I tested the acceleration after the new fuel pump and flashing it (stage 2+).
Sadly, no apparent power gains. There may be slightly more torque mid range, but it could be my imagination.

Here's the previous best time with the stock fuel pump a stage 2. 12.44 at 110. https://i.imgur.com/I93rvOYh.png

And today's run. I did 7 runs and they were similar.
MPH was worse by 1-2mph down!
Maybe it's the DA, 3,200ft (old) vs 5,200ft today.
The 60' time was great. I attribute it to a tiny adjustment I made on the trans flash, and maybe the new tires?
If I wanna go quicker I'll need to fill 'er with ethanol and flash that tune I think.

Yes. Macan GTS with a few options ends up costing more than an S58 equipped X3M Competition.

Ru nuts

I didn’t realize there was such a big difference. I thought I saw 2021 x3s with low mileage going for low 60s and the GTS going for high 60s. I also thought the old GTS was comparable, whereas the old turbo were x3m competitors. I know they got rid of the turbo line and GTS is the highest trim.

In your defense, the macan naming is pretty messed up.

Who at Porsche thought that they needed to strip the Macan of a Turbo top end model... but gave the Taycan a turbo top trim

How is that any different than E63 badge for a 4L V8TT?

'turbo' on electric car is dumber than anything else

But I will admit Mercedes naming convention these days is f*cked

[ThePenIsMightier]

Porsche makes turbocharged cars that they don't label "Turbo" so I'm at peace with the explanation that Turbo s is a trim, not a description.
Sorry-not-sorry to the Taycan haters.

[heavyD]

Turbo is an abbreviation for turbocharger which is something Taycan is not equipped with. It's indefensibly dumb. It's like calling a coupe with a fixed roof a Cabrio.

I don't know shit about Porsches. But I assume similar performance is 50% more expensive then this X3 M40i.
