Thoughts on tuning 2016 GTS??

Test drove a 2016 cayenne gts today - and what a great ride! Def not 'as' quick as the turbos (Ive test driven a 2013 turbo a year ago) but quick enough for daily duties...very 'comfy' on comfort mode, and gets much sportier on sport plus, active exhaust on, stiffest suspension setting...

Which brings me to my next point - Anybody tune their 2016 gts yet? If I can get into a 2016 GTS for the price of a 2015 turbo and throw a tune on there might be one way to go. Wondering if anybody tuned theirs yet and thoughts on GTS vs 2015+ turbo.

I believe depreciation curve is better on the GTS, and I like the stock 'aero package' that it comes with, lower height ride, and better pricing to get into one!

Please share any opinion you guys have!

Awesome - keep us posted.

Is there a reason you went GTS vs turbo for the cayenne? Trying to settle on one and weighing pros/cons on both.

Anything you dont like about the car? Do you feel like the V6 is adequate in there?

Love aero package on gts, newer/lower pricing (vs similar ctt), lower ride height, and *possibly* slightly better depreciation. Also seems to have that extra bit of 'sport' it in.

Test drove a GTS today and seemed like a great overall DD package - and surprised at how much more 'sedate' it is compared to previous V8 GTS.

the piggy back chip is very interesting. $1200-1500 for a tune that can be disconnected prior to dealer visits. I like the GTS for the driver's car feel. the car was quiet till i got the fabspeed bypass pipe. pretty loud now. I would the describe the v6 TT engine as precise. it feels like an electric motor in that it just gets up and goes. I came from a 2014 ML 550 with v8 TT and it was louder but slower.

i bought without driving...I love it..Coming from a 2010 997.2 S Cab...i think another 75-100 hp and torque should get the car right where it should be..The only thing I don't like are the orange turn signals..Need a clear version...And cat bypass pipes are necessary to get the right sound

The VR tuning piggyback sounds like a good option for you. maybe for all of us with a group buy?
