What was the Official 0-60 times of the 997.2 Turbo S 2010-2012 PDK?

I tried to Google and look on the forums but am unable to find the answer. Does anyone know what was the official 0-60 MPH Porsche rating of the 2010-2012 PDK 997.2 Turbo S and standard Turbo were? I know the new 991 TTS is rated at 2.9 seconds and 3.1 seconds for the 991 TT.

Magazine testing has shown the times a lot quicker than factory ratings but was curious how conservative Porsche was with their advertised specifications.

Page 250 of my owner's manual says 3.1 seconds for the Turbo S PDK with top speed of 196mph.


I was able to achieve 2.7 seconds stock and 2.6 tuned using PSS tires (measured using a pBox).

Wow that is excellent was that using 1 ft. rollout. Also what tire pressure.

Not sure if 1ft rollout is enabled - what is the default setting of the pBox? And maybe the magazines use the 1ft rollout method which is why they get better times (half a second, which is huge) than Porsche claims, who might do a real 0-60 without the 1 ft rollout method and averages a number of runs - doesn't just take the best one.

Stock I ran pretty consistent 0-60 of 2.7-2.9 seconds with launch control with the Michelin PSS tires at 40F 44R rear.

The 2.6 was achieved after the tune/plenum on the drag strip with lowered tire pressure of around 36F 32R but the added power is causing tire spin. Need better tires now.
