"outback Joe" and "Macho" seem like pretty good qualification indicators for tech articles and conclusions...lol

it is the Sprint Booster...and there are some other manufacturers nowadays...e.g. PedalBox etc.
They offer different pedal responsiveness settings (no extra power of course lol)...some up to 7 different ones.
I have the Sprint Booster...100 bucks well invested IMO...it does pretty much exact the same stuff they offer in more recent sports cars.
Of course the latest ones adjust the spring settings etc. as well.
Once you have installed one (in e.g. a smaller engine like mine 2.7l)...gas feels much more responsive. Only in the highest sport setting the fine throttle adjustability is noticeably reduced.
In middle settings...gas is immediately there and NO PROBLEMS with fine throttle adjustments, at all. You will only notice that, once you go back the original settings.
The original suddenly feels like "1 sec, Oh ...you stepped on the gas"
I never went back.

P.S.: Not quite sure about tiptronic cars. Sports setting in the Macan GTS feels fine, no problem with fine adjustments of the gas pedal...so the same should go for our 986, I guess.
