Re: Ladies and gentlemen, the new 991...
Carrara:
STRADALE: The stop start is automatically disabled if it is very hot or cold outside, or if Sport mode is on. It can also be disabled via a button on the center console.
Its apart of all the other very small fuel saving measures that gives the Carrera PDK 36mpg highway! 9 more than the 997.
Anyone getting 36mpg or 9mpg more isn't really driving their Porsche.
But if mpg gets people excited about a 500+hp Porsche Turbo, good for you I guess. To me it means I'd be paying for that 9mpg via a higher MSRP because of the technology. It reminds me of the people that spend $5k extra on a gas hybrid & then tout their $ savings in gas mileage, not having any idea how many miles they would need to drive to make up the $5k.
Dunno, feel cranky about it right now & I know I sound it. Just pisses me off that even THIS has gotten compromised............... I DON'T CARE about mpg in my Porsche Turbo, it's not why I bought the car or would be interested in while shopping for it's replacement... I honestly couldn't even tell you what I get mpg wise but I know it's not 27mpg or even 20mpg.
