Just went to Porsche wesite and saw the turbo 0-60 is 5.1 and the turbo s 0-60 is 4.8!

I swore the website used to advertise that the turbo 0-60 was 4.9 and the turbo s 0-60 4.7?!

any info on this change? I thought I bought a turbo that 0-60 was 4.9?

Am i delusional or was this some bait and switch?!

 

The brochure I have says 4.7sec FYI.

 

Porsche makes a power kit for the ctt now that adds 40 hp and brings the 0-60 to 4.9 which originally what I thought the 0-60 was when i bought the car.

The power kit is $18,000 + tax + labor FYI.

What A joke! is there anyway to demand the powerkit as a constellation, because we bought the car believing their advertised speed of 4.9 and now the story has changed!

 

...only if the stars align...

 

OK seriously, stats are just that. That number is under whatever conditions the vehicle was tested that day. I really doubt you have a case.

 

its not like I am comparing their stats to the conditions of when I ran my car. I am comparing the change in their stats!

I am not saying there is going to be any compensation, but I wonder why they came with the power upgrade that brings the 0-60 time to the originally quoted time. Seems like a party ha already admitted to being guilty!

 

i have an 04 and beat a new m6 twice. he was mad lol.

oh yea the second time was by four car legnths and my ctt
has 90k on the clock.

 

M6 would donkey punch a CTT, and I'm not an M6 fan or new M5 fan, prefer the E39 M5. Your talking an almost 20 mph difference in trap speeds.

 

Now that's damn funny.
(As in I'm with you)

 

yes clearly m6 would own a ctt, the m6 driver obviously has no clue how to drive or wasnt really "racing" you.

anyways stop hi jacking this thread!

 

i couldnt belive it either but he was trying, hard. and now back to your precious thread already in progress, more or less.

 

To the OP, I wouldn't be too concerned with published 0-60 times. Porsche has historically (as in for every single car they've ever produced) understated performance specs when compared to what magazines and *good* track drivers can extract out of the car. That said, I doubt a normal driver would be interested in trying to extract the same times as the former do so with no concern for longevity or reliability of their test cars.

For reference, a 2009 CTTS tested as follows:

Zero to 60 mph: 4.4 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 10.8 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 19.3 sec
Street start, 5–60 mph: 5.1 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 12.9 sec @ 110 mph
Top speed (drag limited): 174 mph
Braking, 70–0 mph: 160 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.88 g

forget this whole thread. I am an idiot. When I was looking at the official porsche published times I accidently looked at the porsche Canada which is different... thus the higher times.

 

Canadians measure 0 to 100 kph, we measure 0 to 96 kph (60 mph).
