anyway... Dunno if anyone noticed, but the performance reported by the
speedo is seriously screwed up.
I took a boxster out to the docks yesterday (don't ask, I lost my
player - corrupted file -gotta redo all the test driver mode), and
noticed the plain vanilla boxster goes from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in
4 seconds! Whoaa.. forget about the S ! Top speed was 275 kph also,
ya, right... top down!!!
The plain Jane 993 does it in around 4 seconds also, maybe less...
Ahem ? Can I get me one of those ? Nah, never mind, gimme the cop cars,
they're even faster, must have JATO rocket boosters! ;-)
The ONLY reason I am even mentioning this is that they claim on the box
that they had unprecented access to porsche to reproduce the
characteristics of the cars. Well for the turbo at least, maybe they
didn't ask about the other cars. Or, it could be the speedo. Gotta try
it in miles to see... anyway. I don't care much, but if that stuff was
accurate (as accurate as the driving model seems to be) it'd be a cool
tool to compare cars by ourselves...
PS: Why do all cars go happily to the red line while the non-turbo 993
seems to stupidly cough at 6000 rpm and drop down in revs?
