I thought I would post this on the 991 thread even tho it doesnt pertain to Porsche.
We all know whats going on, I guess its just the way the world works. Just ask Chris Harris.

Does make one wonder, especially given a turbo motor. Reminds me of a C&D test from YEARS ago on a Buick Grand National they managed to get to 60 in 3.9 seconds! The reviewer was awed with the car but I remember even as a kid thinking there was something very wrong with this result. Imagine the boost levels cranked into that engine and the shaved tires for extra traction...

I have wondered about this for a long time-especially in regards to performance car testing and results.

Oh the Myth of the Ten Second, Chipped Only, GNX! Such a great legend.
