Car Fix TV Show claims 9 second turbo s...

I love these guys, but the 991 turbo s runs a 10.3 from the factory???

Wth did these guys do wrong to this to slow it down to a 10.9 quarter mile after all the, "upgrades"?????

Did anyone else watch this show yet on Motortrend this weekend?

Very disappointed after seeing Cobb Tuning, Fabspeed, and IPD products installed only to make the factory Turbo S slower than OEM!

I'm a average driver at best and can break 11 seconds after multiple runs?

Your thoughts please??? What happened here???

Harry is correct - there are always many variables to take into account but good tires are key and can make/break a pass.

Track conditions were also hot and humid but they ultimately did break the 10 second barrier.
