How Do You Drive Your Macan?

[DJMCUK]

When my 981 was featured in Car magazine alongside the then new 718 we had the benefit of a Porsche racing driver and Porsche factory technician along with the demo 718 at Rockingham Raceway.
I quizzed the tech on many things including the "learning" ability of PASM. He also confirmed, as I'd found in driving, that 718 PASM is stiffer in Normal chassis than my 981's.

Well known. Do a Google? This from Porsche, doesn't fully explain.

Well you’re right it doesn’t fully explain!!
I also don’t think it means it “learns” anything it’s just variable damping - think you are reading too much into it.

Sorry Jon but it does. Well known on here for a long time. We know that long periods of driving Miss Daisy slows everything down while some spirited driving will revive it. Likewise the PDK will slow down but can be restored by using the reset procedure, again despite the disbelievers has been established knowledge here for a long time.

Certainly not going to argue with you Nick, your knowledge on this stuff is close to legendary. Perhaps my interpretation of what “learning” is might be slightly different to what’s going on here.
