PCNA updated the configurator to now show that PDLS lights are NOT standard.
I know there was much confusion over this.

I see 6 more ads from porsche

All slightly faster

Montag auf der ns
Dienstag

Donnerstag
Freitag
Samstag am racetrack 7.15

After all sundaydriving is suppose to be Slow!



Somehow this actually did bother me, is this a new strategy to advertise not the fastest laptime? If Timo Kluck (fastestlaptimes.com)did 7.25 in the old car whats up with this 7.29, im def a little off cause of the statement.

I really don't care what the NR time is, I only care how fast I am in the car, not a pro driver. That being said, 7:29 is a huge letdown because it means we are going backwards !

I agree it is a let down. Every one should buy the RSs sitting around for their track lap times.

I would cancel my allocation

Weird, it goes faster than a 997 4.0 without doubt. The tires and RWS alone make a massive difference.

Then again, I'm only 2 seconds faster with PDKS at Sebring because the 997 was lighter and I ran Nitto NT01 with a custom LSD.

Who want my V200 allocation?

Guess the wait list of the .2 GT3 will probably be shorter now. Maybe it is not a bad idea for making demand lower (with slower lap time) so that Porsche can have enough cars for everyone who still wants the .2 GT3. Would it be the case that Porsche is trying to say that NA engines are no match for the Turbos so to pave way for the GT3 turbo for the 992?

There´s something odd about this....If you remember when you open a Porsche code in the config there´s a time of 7:18 written all over the silhouette of the GT3. Maybe Porsche is playing us and the real time has been there all along? (7:18)
