Cayenne Turbo GT making noises at higher speeds

I haven’t driven my Cayenne in a while, and last night took it for a drive and noticed what I can describe as “wind” noise coming from the front doors speakers.

At speeds above 170km/h the noise only comes from the right door, and above 240km/h the same noise appears to come from the left door speaker also. ( the music from the speakers it’s not being affected, works perfectly, at least at lower speeds, the sound is “clean”)

It feels like wind is getting through them with a little tickling noise. I don’t remember the car making any noises like that in the past, it’s relatively new, well maintained, never involved in a crash, so I’m curious what this could be and if it’s enough to send the car to Porsche for a check up, or it’s normal and I just don’t remember it because I haven’t driven it in a while

this guy is selling 3x 928 heaps for $4k, think you could make 1 working car from them?

Im actually not sure if he's selling all 3 for $4k TBH... I assume so considering the condition they are all in...

First experience on the GT3 exhaust and I’m in melt stage! Epic epic epic!

Beautiful exhaust note for the GT3. But I heard the 2025 new GT3 has some filters and it’s not going to sound this raw and clean. If that’s the case then it makes sense to buy 2024 for cheaper price than buying an expensive 2025 and waiting for long period ? Thoughts ?

Smoke from left side during cold start

Long time lurker first time poster here. I am looking at purchasing this 996 C4S but have concerns regarding the smoke from the left bank upon cold start. The car is otherwise well maintained with regular servicing. The car was parked on a flat surface and the smoke was not present when I started it again ~4 hours later in snowy conditions.

I’m curious what you all think may be the issue here as this seems to be more than just the “puff of smoke” common among 996s. I will be getting a PPI, but please let me know if there is any more specific testing worth doing considering this seems abnormal.

Thank you!

  2. How is the maintainance for the Macan? Is it expensive?

  3. Any mods i need to implement to curb any potential issues?

  4. For reliability, is the 3.0 or the 2.0 better?

Looking at 2017-2020 currently, let me know what you think guys.

SeaSucker Ski rack mounting

Sorry, this is more of a Porsche adjacent question but I'm guessing there are lots of skiers here.

Purchasing a Sea Sucker ski rack to be mounted on a 95 Diablo and Renault R5Turbo2 8221 Homologation car.

  1. ⁠Has anyone dealt with paint damage/lifting on their vintage exotic? Paint quality on the Diablo from that era is well…Italian. Everyone I speak to says the Sea Sucker grips very hard.

  2. The aluminum roof on the Renault R5T2 is about as thin as truckstop toilet paper. Has anyone dealt with metal distortion from Sea Suckers?

I’m buying the racks regardless but curious about other’s real world experience. Full disclosure, I brought this to the Ferarri forum as well.

Turbo Charged My Porsche App

I picked up my new 2025 Porsche Macan Turbo Electric last Friday and have been thoroughly enjoying it. I’ve been playing around in the app and getting acquainted with its features. I noticed that you can change the app icon, but I wasn’t sure if anyone else had discovered this. So, I thought I’d share it with you all.

Did I make the correct choice? I've been going back and forth about replacing the original decal with a new one for two years on my 73' Targa (Signal Gelb), but finally made the switch after a pieced chipped off while cleaning the glass. What would you have done?
