MrBlonde,

We all know, weather we understand is another topic, that the 996tt isn't a drag strip platform.

They have power, however wheel size, camber and lack of LSD all play into the lower drag time.

Now take this car into the twisties and they will more than hold their own.

Chad, agreed wholeheartedly. My comment was purely on the mismatch between tuner claims for horsepower and the trap speeds. The big black dyno never lies, much to the embarassment of tuners. Well it would if they had any shame. As it is you can claim anything reagrding power levels to the aftermarket and generally get away with it!
