Mike,

Here are some fun facts for you. When Excellence tested this particular vehicle they had 3/4 of a tank of fuel and a passenger ( to Porsche AG test spec ). With that being said weight was not on our side. Along with these rules being strictly enforced, "The War Admiral" also had our Werks 1 Aerokit which produces a CD of .338 vs .302 stock. With our Aero Package we are producing an extra 400 lbs of downforce when compared to stock.

This 0-60 test was conducted after a long day of Road Course activities ( 4 hours of intense track use ) With all of this being said about our road course warrior transforming itself into a 1/4 mile sprinter we are very confident in our statement that WE HAVE THE FASTEST PDK 997 TURBO.

Our aero kits are designed, and engineered, and TESTED to provide downforce, which enhances the vehicles handling during track driving, not 1/4 mile events. Downforce, unfortunately, is not necessarily the best thing for all out top speed runs, but it is necessary to optimize handling.

Besides Porsche themselves, I'm not aware of any other tuner that has actually used a wind tunnel to design and test their aero parts. Our knowledge in this area comes from 100% tried and true experience. So much experience, in fact, that some other very well known tuners have come to US for recommendations and information on how to set up their cars for some highly publicized events coming up real soon, which we graciously provided.

With that being said i would agree you probably have 1 of the best handling wind tunnel proven PDK around probably.. Just not the quickest until you run it at an NHRA track.. Its a 40 minute drive north take it sometime and see what it runs..

This is the question I am curious to see answered. Not the clutches, but the gearbox itself.

I believe TECHART does as well - they prominently market their aero products as such.
