Default Are there any 'real' Porsche employees on Rennlist?

I realize there are a few dealership employees and even owners but I am talking about PCNA or Porsche corporate folks even driving instructors etc. Maybe they are prohibited for fear of divulging corporate secrets, or maybe like a lot of us they just don't feel like talking about work stuff when they are not on duty. There is so much passion for the Porsche brand and RL is seemingly the most prominent brand chatroom. Many people say that Porsche follows the board activity. I think it would be funny if AP suddenly chimed in and said 'stop this mindless chatter. You guys are all full of bull'

I am an engineer for Porsche and I am currently working on the 4-cylinder turbo that will be in the 992 GT3 released in 2022

I am, actually, AP but was forbidden tp say anything before. I still am. But this is how I knew RL members felt the 991.1 GT3 was "cheap" so I bumped the price on the 991.2. I also found you wanted manual so I offered that for "free", when in all of our other P cars you pay less for the manual. I'll go back and pretend I am SamfromTX now and deny this post.

It's absolutely true that AP has read this board in the past and there are others from his team that check in and have even posted from time to time, although the one I'm personally acquainted with does so infrequently. They do pay some attention to what is written here, or at least they used to.

There was Chausoul... but he was found out, picked up by a van from his home in the middle of the night, detained in an undisclosed underground lair, tortured via feather-tickle method ad-infinitum, and ultimately.. nixed. RIP.
