Does any one know what the acr viper 's best time was. Since most are off topic I thought I'd ask.

Has the PDK been updated to handle the 500 hp and new torque specs? thought that was why it was not in the 2009 turbo.

This C&D article goes into the metallurgy and construction of the 3.8L engine in more depth than any I've seen so far:

They also mention that PTV tapers off at 75mph and is completely off above 100mph. Interesting.
