I understood that as they fixed the issue that caused it. Certainly after spending $xx.xxx on an engine upgrade you'd be a bit miffed if it misfires and goes into limp mode every now and then so that would need a proper fix.

I must've missed what LWFW means. Sorry folks, do you mind enlightening me?

As for Matt's car, can we talk about the drawbacks other than the colour spec? Like, the need for Boostane for a road car, and the mysterious Sport button that also controls the auto-blip?

LightWeightFlyWheel. Never met one I didn't like.

"LWFW" = Light Weight Fly Wheel. As for boostane, its long been a gray area, where DeMan stated that a 93 tune was possible/availible, but typically not advised. Now it looks like M-Engineering has one that is functional/safe.

OK, 2 to 1 that the misfires were fixed and not just masked. As you say for $60,000 dollars it should be perfect!

As for 93 Octane, it would have been nice to see the dyno results for that, at the 10 minute market he says that the car has 100 octane in the tank.

"Motor work" is only ~ $30k.

Yeah the Sport thing confused me as well. Rick DeMan responded in another thread about this but all he said was "Cars with Sport Chrono..." which doesn't explain anything.

I was going with what the owner said about 8:43, "60 grand on this mod"...

JAhmed

Unless he did 2 of them, it ain't 60k

It's funny I suppose but in terms of Porsche horsepower that is a pretty good deal. It turns an awesome car into an amazeballs one. Unfortunately you just can't avoid the fact that tuner cars tend to have more issues than what Porsche sends out of its factories with a big warranty on it. No free lunch and all that.

You know you want toooooo

I didn't think so, he either misspoke or is including all of the things he has done so far...

For me, the 2-5 gear set (and potentially the longer 6th gear) is still the thing to do on any GTS 4.0/Spyder/GT4. Unfortunately, this video didn't focus on the change in gearing as much, because they were focusing on the sound and power more. Makes sense, as that much noise is likely overwhelming and addictive.

I might have been silly enough to get one had I lived on the same continent as where these are made. With an ocean in between it's a bit too crazy for me. And everyone seems to put these in cars that are primarily used on the street, I've not seen any track rats beat on them as hard and as consistent as what the stock 4.0 has proven to withstand.
