Just asking if anyone has had a chance to see if the new motors are making more power than they did before. Most people report that by the "Seat of their pant's" that the motor feels more powerful and more responsive.
Don't forget, Porsche's don't loose the silly amount of power coming out of the transmission than most other performance cars with the Front Engine Rear Drive Configurations. So the car won't be loosing between 15%-20% like a Camaro Z28 will!

I haven't because I don't own a 991GT3,although I've tested other motors. One thing I've noticed about motors is that if you give them 12V they will spin one way and if you inverse polarity they will spin the other way.

438 BHP at the wheels, assuming an exact figure of 475 BHP from the factory that is roughly an 7.8% power loss through the drivetrain. Now is that possible, impossible or improbable? 488 BHP would put it closer to a 10% loss and if you want to apply the 15%-20% losses seen out of less effecient configurations that would make the output higher than 500 BHP. Still, just seems like there is too much VooDoo going on with Chassis Dyno.

As an example my old modified STI, with a guesstimated Hp of 450, put down 338 whp on a mustang, and 395 on a Dynojet.

The Cayman and Boxster experience the same rate of loss?
