...thanks for providing more proof that the manual transmission cars put more power to the ground than the PDK cars...

Power at the crank is meaningless, what matters is power to the ground, this is where Lambos and Ferraris lose a lot, and where Porsche shines, and the 6-speed manual shines even more.

How quickly does the car adjust for octane rating? If you've been running 91 for months, and then fill up on 93, will the car adjust (timing?) immediately or after 100 miles or after two tanks of gas or what?

Sorry for the rookie question but why are the front wheels spinning?

The front and rear rollers must be connected. Probably so the Dyno works on awd cars too. Also, makes it so rwd cars don’t freak out their traction controls (for those where you can’t entirely disable)

I was told that the GT3 will go into safe mode if rear wheels were moving without front wheels.

Did anyone manage to dyno their GT3 without connecting the front rollers?

Yes, but you need Porsche factory PIWIS tool to do it, by putting into dyno mode.
