A Message From The PresidentWelcome new members and those who have moved to Middle TN recently! You have joined an active region with plenty of events, so please join us when you can. If you are new and like our great Panorama magazine, I have back issues so email me and I will bring to our next event for you.

We had 102 attendees at our January Member’s Banquet and pictures are now posted on our website www.musikstadtpca.org under Gallery. Check out pictures from past events, and under Resources you will find local mechanics and more.

This year is PCA’s 60th Parade and it is so close at French Lick, IN so please register on March 17 and plan to join us for a caravan up and good times. I usually stay 3 or 4 nights to see the Concours and enter the TSD rally and then head back, but you can stay as long as you wish. Don’t forget also the PCA Escape in September to Mt Rushmore and the Badlands, which I plan to attend.

Please note our club dinner meetings are most always 2nd Tuesday of each month and breakfast meetings are 2nd Saturday. We try to move dinner around town, but the number of restaurants with a private room to hold 35-40 people is slim. Cozymel’s has closed and the new Cheddar’s coming in doesn’t have a back room to my knowledge. We are trying out Carabba’s in Green Hills in April with Santa Fe Cattle Co in May so not everything is in Franklin/Brentwood area. If you know of any other spots with a private (or semi-private) room, let me know.

There are lots of events on our calendar and this is only first half of year, so more planned for late summer and fall. If you know of a good twisty road or route, or want to help lead a Saturday tour, let us know. We welcome your help and enthusiasm.

Bourbon tasting has been rescheduled to March 19. Let Joe Questel know if you plan to attend the 5:30pm dinner at Blackstone’s, otherwise we will see you at Bell Meade Bourbon at 7pm for a tour and tastings.

Plan to attend our 3d annual Concours in the Park at Edwin Warner Park. We had over 50 cars next year so hope for more this year. We always need help with registration, set-up/tear-down, judging, etc so please let us know if you can help out. Hope to see you there and at our next meeting.

Of Interest To Club MembersBy: Mike Moody

Got Sticky or Crumbling Radio or Temp Control Knobs?

Yes, it happens to aging Porsche’s, Benz, Ferrari’s and so on. Don’t remember the technical term, but it happens to the best of cars including my 2006 Cayman S. You can Google the problem and several high-end car brands have Forum’s where it is discussed.

If your radio knobs get sticky, just pull one off and take to Porsche of Nashville for 2 replacements. There are 2 styles so best to pull a knob and make sure you buy the right version, which are around $20 – 30.

If your heater control buttons (Temp and Fan) are crumbling away like mine were, you can visit the dealer but all they can do is sell you a complete unit which will not be cheap. Thankfully, a call to Matt Shaw proved to be the best solution to my problem. Matt had already dealt with this problem with another club member’s car and found a company who can recoat and repaint the buttons like new…and Matt had figured out how to carefully remove the heater control panel AND remove the controls without damage. I can attest to his work and the cost was well worth the effort. You can reach Matt Shaw at Track One at 615-948-9090.

Got A Club NameTag?

These members have name tags to pick up at our next event or when they can.

BARNES PARDUEBEARDEN PARGHBINKLEY  (2) PERKINSBYNUM REEDYDAVIS ROSEGROOMES RICHIEHADLEY SIMPSONJENSEN  (2) SOTOKING  (2) VREELANDMANN  (2) WALDRONMELANI

If you want to order a club name tag, drop Mike Moody an email on how you want it printed and a check for $10 made out to MSK PCA and mail to Mike at 207 Sontag Dr, Franklin TN 37064 or see him at next event with a check or cash.

Cayman Owners – Rear Sunscreen on Your Car?

Did you know that Porsche Tech Equipment has a snap-on sunscreen for your rear window that will block sun/UV rays and protect your carpet and keep car cooler inside? I bought one for my 2006 Cayman S in Houston and it worked wonders. I assume they are still available and will fit all models, but check it out. Protect your car and keep it cool!

PORSCHE DRIVER EXPECTATIONSPorsche drivers learn the feel of their cars on the road, in the curves, and sometimes on the track.  They become accustomed to rates of acceleration, the feel of their cars gaining speed when they pass traffic on a two lane road, the feel when accelerating to blow-the-doors-off a G-37, a BMW, or a Mustang at a red light.  They know what it feels like to take a twisty mountain road curve just a little too fast, or to enter a track curve just a little too fast--they learn to expect that when this happens, they just carefully steer the line and feel the Porsche turn-in, tuck-in, and follow through the curve; maybe on the limit of traction, or maybe on what the driver feels is approaching the limit. 

Most of us Porsche drivers have felt these inputs.  I remember my first incident in my '02 Boxster S.  Heading north on Research Parkway at a very high rate of speed (maybe two sigma) with a co-worker to demonstrate the capability of my new Porsche.  I kept the accelerator pedal on the floor, further, deeper, a little bit more until he was sure we would by-pass the west on University exit ramp; then threshold braking and turn-in at the ramp.  The rear end came around as I unloaded the rear tires and we drifted toward the outside railing along ramp.  Back on the gas, ever so much, I modulated the rear end with the throttle as I traveled down the ramp nearing 360 degrees until we had slowed sufficiently for the tires to hook-up to the road and I was able to downshift and floor the throttle again on the straight heading west.  The Porsche sure saved my bacon that day and it probably took the remainder of the day for my heart to come down out of my throat and return to a normal pulse rate.  So you know that Porsche handling feeling?  The Macan has it, in spades.  Whether you are pushing it or just cruising, you get the Porsche feel!  In the curves, under

acceleration, during braking, it just feels like a Porsche.

The MACAN 340bhp 3L engine NEEDS MORE POWER Understanding what the Porsche dynamic inputs feel like, I am here to tell you that each and every one of these inputs are there in the new Macan.  Suki and I drove the "S" on its first outing Saturday.  We drove 409 miles round trip for the Peachstate Region's 55th Anniversary at the Delta Airlines Museum in Atlanta.  We traveled cross-country about 3/4s of the trip on US72 to Scottsboro, then on AL 35 through Ft. Payne and into Georgia, through Rome and then on I-75 to the airfield.  Several times we passed traffic traveling 50-55mph and wanting to maintain 60-55 mph, I stomped the throttle with the PDK instantly downshifting to a lower gear and the 3.0L engine using all of its 340bhp to accelerate the 3800lb vehicle.  It was NOT GT3-like, or 993 Turbo-like, but it was adequate acceleration with the passes accomplished safely.  In fact in both cases I had to ease-up on the throttle while out in the passing lane to keep the speed below 80mph in those 55mph speed zones.  But, it could have used more power--hence I called club member Tino Bethig to get the European flash which increases the turbo boost about 20% to a little over 400bhp.

INCREASING BOOST IN TURBO ENGINESSo, the thing about turbo engines is that you can add boost and an appropriate amount of additional fuel to turn-up the combustion pressure, which increases the torque (in a somewhat linear amount) which is the key component of increased power.  DME flashes of this type cost about a thousand dollars.  Even with Porsche's latest Siemen DME, which guards against turning-off the rear O2 sensors, at this time, you are still able to adjust the boost level. 

Porsche RamblingsBy: Jim Cambron

SOLID GOLD MARCH 2015

PAGE 7

Of course one consideration is how much additional boost the engine can tolerate before it comes apart. There has been a lot of work in this area and the general guideline is that the Porsche engine internals are good for an additional 15-20% boost without a problem.    There are a lot of 996 and 997 turbos running 500-550bhp with no internal engine modifications--but at some point you have to add stronger engine components and of course the stock turbos can only flow so much air, so at some point the tuners have to increase the size of the turbos.  In the case of the 993 twin-turbo:  the stock turbos produce 408bhp in U.S. trim and 424-450bhp as the turbo S with only an increase in boost pressure.  With the Turbo S Club Sport they went to the next larger size KKK turbocharger plus more boost to get 500bhp.

So how much boost will the Macan 3.0L engine tolerate?  I don't know for sure, but I do know that the same engine in the Panamera is rated at 410bhp; so I am pretty confident that I can increase the boost to that amount without an issue.

ADDING MACAN STRIPESEvery real car-guy (or gal) likes to personalize their car; to make it individually theirs.  No one wants to meet their automative clone at a stop sign.  You spent a lot of money on your Porsche and you are appropriately proud of it, so now you need to make it distinctively unique.  Have you added a wing, sport muffler, stripes, a new set of wheels, or graphics down the side?  All you have to do is look at my Yellow GT4 with it's

GT3 RS graphics down the side and its carbon fiber tail; the White GT3 RS with its red graphics and checkered flags on the hood and now on its roof and tail; or the silver Turbo S with the side graphics; or the blue Boxster with side sills, front lip, and carbon inlets, mirrors, and wing; club member Ted Sendak has a black 997 with the distinctive aerokit--beautiful car Ted; Mary Schrenk added PORSCHE graphics to her blue Boxster--way to go Mary; Have you seen David Sentil's red Turbo with the wheels and splitter?  The list goes on and on--the point is, make your car fit your version of a "hot rod" Porsche; the one you have always wanted.  If you like wings--then add one; you need more sound then add a sport muffler.  If you like flashy wheels then get you a set. 

So, tying to personalize the Macan, I procured a set of 1971 PORSCHE reverse type lettering side stripes, had them copied and lengthened and will apply them to my MACAN.  I think those stripes plus the Sport Design package on the car will make it individually mine and I won't see another one matching it.  How about you?  You ready to upgrade that Porsche, make it yours, and then keep it for as long as you are driving?  I've met hundreds of car people who said they wish they had never sold some previous car--but I have never met anyone who talked about how glad they were for getting rid of a special car that meant so much to them!   Hold-on to that special Porsche, don't sell it and then later wish you hadn't!

Have a story you’d like to tell?? We would love to hear from you! Drop us a line at [email protected] today!

2nd Annual Uber Region Fest, Florence AL, April 11

Join us for another great day with a drive down to Florence AL on Saturday, April 11th to visit Trissl Sports Cars and see 100-200 Porsche’s in Trissl’s stable inside or parked outside. This year, they will have events starting at the Marriott Hotel on Friday night through Saturday, including driving tours, auto-crossing and of course People’s Choice Award. Lunch and music will help fill in our day there. We will depart from the Drury Hotel/Granite City Restaurant parking lot on McEwen Drive at 8:30m sharp, so plan to arrive by 8:15am and with a full tank. There is a First Watch Restaurant next door if anyone wants to grab breakfast before heading out. If you plan to attend, please register so they will know how many to plan for lunch and such. Go to http://trisslsportscars.com/2015-uber-region-fest/ for more information and registration.

Spring will be on us soon and on April 18, 2015, KARS4KIDS is hosting our Annual Car Show at the TN Baptist Children’s Home, Brentwood, TN Campus to benefit the children at the home.  Last year’s event featured vehicles from places such as Middle TN, Kentucky, Georgia and Alabama.  Your past sponsorship and support of this special event benefiting TN Baptist Children’s Home has been greatly appreciated and we look forward to having you join us again on April 18th. With your help we can once again provide assistance to the children, more specifically the summer activities fund, as well as a day they will remember forever.  As you are aware all net proceeds from this event go to the summer activities program and not the general operating fund.  This allows for the children at the Brentwood Campus to participate in activities that would otherwise not be possible because

of a lack of funding.   Since our funds are not part of the general operation budget it allows for these children to participate in extra activities, which may be a church trip, a special birthday party, a trip to the movies with friends, simple things all children want to do but at times funding is just not available. Your generosity and support over the years have made these events and memories possible. The event takes place on the beautiful TBCH Campus, 1310 Franklin Road, Brentwood, TN. Thanks for your support and we look forward to seeing you in April.

The Porsche Club of America cordially invites you to attend our 60th Annual Porsche Parade Celebration in French Lick Indiana from June 21-27, 2015.   Our 60th Parade coincides with the Club’s 60th Anniversary Celebration, and we’re planning a series of special events at French Lick that will pay tribute to the cars and people who have made us the greatest single marque sports car club in the world.  The 60th Parade will rightfully pay homage to the members and events of our past, but will also celebrate the Club’s newest enthusiasts who will shape our future. 

Parade Registration will open to PCA members on Tuesday, March 17, 2015 at 12 Noon EDT. The best place to read about Parade activities is http://parade2015.pca.org/

For the first time in recent memory, we have not one, but TWO resort properties awaiting your visit, both listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The 3,000 acre compound also features three golf courses and a world class spa at each facility.

The French Lick Springs Hotel, established in 1832 and the larger of the two resorts, will be host to many of our familiar Parade activities. This city and the resort were named for an early French fur trading outpost and nearby salt lick. They recently completed a 600 million dollar restoration, bringing many comfortable present day amenities to surroundings that are authentic to the mid-19th century when the current facility was built. It is perhaps most known for their medicinal springs – “Pluto Mineral Water”. The actual spring is still part of their landscape, and the Gardens nearby will host our Welcome Party as well as various activities throughout the week.

Known as the 8th wonder of the world, and just down the street, you’ll find the West Baden Springs Hotel. This resort is home to the most breathtaking feature of our combined facilities this year; a free-span dome, the largest in the world until the Houston Astrodome was built in the 1960’s. An architectural marvel, this

breathtaking Atrium will host our Concours and Victory banquets.

Our Concours will be held a few steps through the covered bridge from the north end of the French Lick property. Rallies will depart from the grounds of the West Baden, and banquets will be held on both properties. The Parade 60th year museum, Hospitality, Goodie Store, seminars and many meetings will be at French Lick. Both resorts have lots of parking and car wash stations.

For those of you who are new to Parade, you need to register for Parade on the PCA or Parade website before getting access to the codes necessary to hold your room. Therefore, we recommend browsing all necessary information prior to opening day so you’re ready to go. You’ll need to know what events you want to enter, as well as which hotel is your preference. The registration guide will be on the Parade website by March 1st.

We will have our full complement of competitive events: Concours, TSD Rally, Autocross (at the nearby French Lick airport), and Tech Quiz. Add to that the Tours, Gimmick Rally, Golf Tournament, Art Show, Michelin Drive and Compare, Kids’ events, Tech Academy, cooking school, 5K run/walk, Parade of Porsches and more – you’ll be kept busy!
