Anyone have luck downloading this article. Just curious, I guess the turbo
had standard steel brakes, not the ceramic ones. Wonder what the difference in stopping distance times alone between the turbo and the other
porsches??

Guys,
This is Autobild..written for the masses in Germany. 0-100kmh is a very old and established standard measurement for performance. Traction now is an issue with all the high HP cars making a deput. Still 0-100kmh is probably what you can play most on public roads without getting into trouble with the law and keeping everyone save....surely slowing down in time would help the cause!!!!
So what is wrong with the test?

We just hit the 300,000,000 American...
In 37 years another 100,000,000, are they kidding, or friggin crazy??.
I cant take it, -Peace Out-..gotta get me a tropical island where no one else is and build a track, or a dragstrip all for my Pcar, (and friends)...then we'll see some true number with no interuptions!!
Can you say too many people and getting worse.
