So, I had been driving around thinking that my car felt slower than usual and then I decided to do a Launch Control run and wound up getting my best acceleration G yet: 1.16. This is after I had a set of SOUL sport cats installed last week, so maybe my car actually is making more power now. Ignore the other 3 low numbers. My Max-G readings are getting reset now every time I start the car.

I swear the performance on my 992 4S varies more than any vehicle I've ever owned. It went from feeling like it was driving a lot slower than usual to now feeling like it's driving faster than ever.

maybe it's because I ride a 223 hp 450lb Ducati V4 motorcycle a good bit between drives, but sometimes my 992 C4S feels down right slow... even though I know it's not!

Maybe that's it. My other Porsche is a 991.1 turbo cabriolet with a full Tubi exhaust. It's definitely quicker than my 992 C4S as well as just having more kick to it.

It's tough for a car to match the acceleration of a vehicle that can go from 0-100 in 5.5 seconds :-)

Has anyone figured out how to keep it from resetting every time? So annoying.

It will require an "update" from PCNA, which will likely screw up another 2 things

This is from a spirited canyon drive with a local group of Porsche enthusiasts. I was following a 996 GT2 on Proxes R888 and JRZ coilovers. I was I’m my 991.1 GT3 with Sport Cup 2’s and BBi streetcup package.

Does this count? This is from the drive home in my gt350. 300 miles... so much for “break in period”
