Take it out for a quick run and test it... to see about the boost holding in 6th.

Thats the overboost indicator--- where your tq is increased for short period of time (15 seconds max I think)...

This car pulls 6th like most sports cars pull 3rd.

The 997TT's abilities really do shine on the freeway. It's not a 0-60 car (especially) but more of a free pull car from 60-on. Try that in other "so-called" fast cars that require 8000rpm before they get going heh...
