Not much else you can do except getting an ECU dump to see if everything is running within specs. Check if you have any aftermarket stuff on the car that screws up the performance, change plugs and coils if they are the originals. clean your airfilter. The usual items a good Porsche Independent tech can do or even a racing shop. Keep us posted. The hunt is always fun .

Not sure what you're smoking but I want some. What year exactly are you going with that statement? Even as slow as the C4's or C5's were, they were faster than any Porsche.

I love my 981 but wouldn't race a new Corvette.

Cater is infamous around these parts
I'm trying some of that Seafoam stuff, I've heard good things about it. If that doesn't help anything I'm gonna go with your idea's and start with the plugs and go from there.

Lol, type in 911 turbo in that google search box. No I'm not saying that the 914 or Boxster has out ran the Corvette but Porsche has always had a faster car.

Sorry, I was going by your designation of faster, not quicker.

Got your point.
