It makes me think my cars broke, but after a day of airfield races, not a single car including a highly modified 997-2 could beat from a dig. Don't get it
Arnie the more power you make the worse your launch will be unless you get better tires. Stock and GIAC tuned with stock Michelin tires I was in the 2.7- 2.8 range 0-60 with the vBox. Then with 100 more HP GIAC stg 2 my 0-60 times slowed to 3 due to wheel spin. Then I got r888's and after the car adapted to the increased grip (PDK was initially freaked out) and I've done 2.5 on the street and drag strip.

Airstrip different story. It's very dusty and the launch pad is right on a painted surface. I can't get better than 3.0 at shift sector just spinning all of 1st gear even with the r888 tires.

Remember the car and the launch was engineered with only 560 hp in mind.

Makes sense Adam. My acceleration G's have definitely gone down since the tune. I also find my PDK freaks out once in a while. Like after driving easy for week and the then hammering it in 1st gear, the shift to second feel like a total missed a shift and scares the **** out of me. Then there after, it works just fine.

My PDK did the exact same thing after I got r888 tires. After a week or two of hammering on it and the delay in the 1-2 shift, the PDK software adapted and I rarely get the issue.
