Looking at that car I just get the impression that if some Porsche marketing douche had suggested putting a sport chrono in that car that'd they'd have tarred and feathered him and made him ride out of town on a vespa. One can envision the engineers saying "I don't care what it looks like, we need more front downforce" and "Need wider tires -- Fritz, hand me that rivet gun."
I ride in a 993 gt2 replica rivets and all but don't know what the hp numbers on the real gt2 but his was 600 hp- fking scary as a passenger. Mike
a real GT2 streetcar has 430HP, IIRC. there was a factory upgrade that took this to 450HP.
the cars feel faster than the numbers would suggest because of the power delivery (laggy), and the platform (lighter, noiser, raw-er than today's generation of 911's). not to mention you always knew in the back of your mind that this was still an "evil" old-school 911 that could bite you...
