LOL perfect.

27 pages and counting. There is a lot of interest in your products, generally that's a good thing.

And now, when you are exposed as basically someone who lied, then tried to cover it you want to deflect and make it anything other than you.. behind your keyboard acting like you did nothing wrong..

Well guess what!!

No soup for you ever!! I'd not do business with you.

Dude seriously? Please show me where I said I received an email. I said my "inbox" referring to my Rennlist inbox. I was not a paying member back then and my inbox size was limited so frequent deletions were the norm. I never lied, I have no reason to lie, I admitted that I must have misremembered and thanked you for correcting me. This was from a conversation from over a year ago and my brain is not as fresh as it used to be (ask my wife). Either way, I never disparaged your product and I'm happy to have as many Porsche shops as possible.

Not sure why you feel this way and I'm sure you make a great product for those you are willing to sell it to. I have no bone in this fight and am still confused why there is a fight at all. I wish you noting but goodwill.

No times then lol, it’s quite important to get a 100-200 if spending that sort of money vs say a 992 gt3 100-200.
very frustrating there is no data.

seems like a 911 turbo might be more up your alley than one of the GT cars

@Rick DeMan Hey! Does that mean you give a '1 year old Tee-Shirt' to someone if something goes wrong!? Is this some clever rouse from your NYC Legal Team!!! Just kidding! Im always to late to all the good posts... "No soup for you!" Is also a classic! Oh and as for 100-200 MPH for the 4.5L DeMan car im pretty sure its fast, very very fast.

the only reason to ruin your oem car is for a performace reason, so one would want to know it's faster in the real world than a 992 gt3 which you could buy vs a new gt4 and a 4.5l lower reving engine.

it's basic marketing over hype to show some stats vs a 992 GT3. I have seen so far they are slower on track :-(

I don't think there is enough data, which is a pity. On track any 981/982 which does not have side window air intakes will de-rate a lot from big intake temps. GT3 or GT4 RS will often perform better for that reason, but on the street you don't have that issue and a 4.5L GT4 will be faster. A GT3 isn't super fast 100-200 km/h to begin with and my modified GT4 managed a genuine 7.6 sec verified with dragy with the stock 4.0 and bolt ons which is about what you see from GT3s.
