this first posted time i did not have the hour or so drive time so it is a bit slower. my best is the second.

seems like my 40-60 mph times are where the engine is needing more air.

ive done a lot of testing and it looks like the base 992 at 4000-5000 feet above sea level and DA levels that are even higher are posting numbers only slightly better then what porsche states, which is great but would love to see base 992 numbers from someone at sea level.
992 T with PDK, Pirellis, stock. Done five launches since break-in a few hundred miles ago, all ~1000 ft DA, all consistently in the 3.6X range and with rollout omitted in the 3.4X range. Mix of PSM sport and normal, didn't make much of a difference. My best runs are when I've been able to get the tire temps up and avoid the TC light coming on, but it still tends to bog for a half second or so around 5500 rpm in first after it hooks. Adjusting for DA, your car seems stronger.

thanks for posting some base numbers … from the amazing T as well!

That is very strong performance. It is what I get with my non-sports chrono C2.
The best I have seen is 3.4 seconds. Why do they advertise it as 4.2?? To make you spend more?

I cant help feeling that there must be a relationship between the number of launches a car does and the chance of the active engine mounts (PADM) failing.
Looking at the forum, some unfortunate owners have had them just fail anyway at very low mileages. How crazy is that, they have my sympathy.
Putting 4/500 hp through the driveline of a stationary car cannot be good for anything, reliability wise, no matter what Porsche says. Its common sense.

I understand S/C is standard on manual cars. Does that mean if I buy a manual car I have to have chocolate engine mounts?
I was thinking about ordering another one, and keeping my "work" car as well.

I am so glad I didn't tick the S/C box as I am not convinced it actually makes the car go any faster at all.

I have had no problems at all with my C2 with 55,000 miles on the clock now.
I cannot give myself any credit for buying the C2 nearly 4 years ago, I just did it on impulse without any research.
Lucky for me I did, as it is the best car I have every owned by miles, and I have had some pretty good ones in the past too.
The fact it is also so incredibly quick is the best bonus!

Thanks! Porsche quotes 4.3 for the T if manual, 3.8 if PDK (this is the same as the base with Sport Chrono). So my PDK T should be the same as a base with SC, and I'm only getting a couple tenths better than that. Your car looks great - good to hear about your positive experience.

For me SportChrono is great because it really wakes up the car in many ways: PDK mapping, throttle response, etc. IOW it's less about 'speed', and more about feel...

Maybe, but what I have found is that the car wakes up anyway when you push the gas pedal.
The shift points and the shock settings completely change in a non sports chrono car if you cormer quickly, brake sharply or accelerate quickly or all of these things.
Any large change in G force is detected and the car responds to your driving style by shifting "mode" automatically.
If I want to "prime" the car for overtaking I have 3 ways of doing it. Press the sport button (which I never use), use the flappy paddle (which automatically puts the car into manual mode) or lightly press the throttle which changes the rpm up to max torque range instantly. That's usually what I do.
If you calm your driving down, the car shifts mode back again to "comfort" driving.
It works perfectly.

i was able to post a really good 0-60 based on my elevation and DA level. bones stock 2022 992 base with p-zero's.

what is telling is rennfish's 50-60 time and how much better it is then mine. i think that is the altitude for sure.

at sea level i think this will easily be able to get to 3.4s, which for a base 992 911 is pretty amazing.
