so is the slight delay in the 992 when you mash the gas peddle normal? does anyone know if the 992 is faster if you ease into the peddle rather than mash it?

i just ordered a draggy so i guess i will see!

Any quicker times if traction control is turned off.? IAssuming all conditions are perfect.....I figure you wouldn't have any boging down if it starts to slip....

..and is it safe to turn all of the traction off when doing LC

Without knowing exactly what it does, or how it could help with EV times….I tend to agree with you. But don’t know for sure.

That’s what I always tell people….there’s no substitute for measurements to prove a point.

Never used it in any of my performance cars and struggle to find the appeal of it. Plus I care too much about my clutch and drivetrain components. If I had a lease I'd enjoy it more maybe.

I misread the title as “advice for getting the best lunch” and now I’m disappointed.

I'm pretty sure these cars are engineered to launch over and over (wasn't there a Porsche video with a turbo launching repeatedly without overheating the tranny?)... I used the GTR launch program all the time, no issues.

I haven't tried the launch since tuning though... I guess there will be some wheelspin 😜

just as an FYI


on the dragy with very hot conditions 93 degree and 5000 feet above sea level. slope of 0.75%

2022 porsche 992 911 base with pse and sc.

0-60: 3.88.

i am sure i can get a better time but i know it is close to what porsche says and i am way above sea level.
