THey GT3RS 4.0 numbers are conservative too: http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/e...24.html?show=4

I don't think they are trying to handicap the cars. My understanding is they are after real world times under real world conditions since some manufacturers have been known to fudge things ...

Yeah. I helped that one guy because two other guys helped me with some info on the aftermarket rear sensor kit Porsche are fitting to the 991 in other dealerships around the world.

I personally see it as a good idea for a car that will used as a DD, Especially on a 991 (longer) and on a GT3 (wing). One of the few bits of technology over the last few decades that has been useful and weights basically nothing...

Cost is $500 installed. I dont care if anyone thinks its Nanna. Its costs me more to repaint a bumper )not that Ive put a scratch on the 993 in 13 years but its not a DD either).

here is some more AMS test data on the new 991 Gt3 from another board...

Few more figures from AMS test...

1433kg measured weight.

ISO and 18m test car the fastest overall.

991 GT3 is faster in curves then 997 GT3 RS 4.0, in fact as you will see in forthcoming Supertest faster around Ring as well.

Optional PCCBs produced the best braking power measured so far by AMS.
