Throttle response problem when downshifting

[sciotoboy]

2006 Carrera S Coupe 6 speed.I have an intermittent problem.When heel/toe downshifting I am able to depress the throttle with no response.This occurs 1 in 10 downshifts and can happen between any gears,even after or before 3 perfect downshifts.There is no problem upshifting, or when downshifting without braking.I love the car but this takes away some of the enjoyment.

Sorry to say but, that's an enjoyment that has been taken away by advanced technology. Porsche's E-gas prevents that option and I too find that a little hindering. If you hit the brakes while on the throttle, it shuts the throttle down to idle until you let off the brakes. You can always rev match the engine when downshifting. :rolleyes:

I have a 997/C4S. I have put about 12K miles on it in the last 5 months, with at least 15% of that on the track. I have NEVER had a problem with blipping the throttle while heel and toe. I Do know that the throttle will cut if you hit the brake while in gear, but NOT while the clutch is depressed, which is when you would blip.

I heel/toe using both my right side of my foot or by heel depending on circumstances of down shift. Thats always on the brake. Sometimes, I do just blip on downshift without braking... And of course I sometimes have to blip on upshifts. But blipping while on the brake always works.

NEVER EVER ONCE have I NOT gotten the response I needed. NEVER EVER. I sometimes double Clutch (old habits die hard) while on the brake, and I am able to do that. The E-Gas CPU must know that even with the Clutch out, the tranny is in neutral.

The car would be undrivable if you couldn't blip the throttle with or without braking. But you DO have to engage the clutch or be in neutral.
