We are working on the PDK upgrade currently.

I think the real thing to consider here though is that our testing was done independantly by a non biased journalist (you will see the articles soon), tests were not conducted on a prepared dragstrip, and they were easily repeated 3 to 4 times producing overlapping results. Basically anyone can hop in this car, hold the brake with your left foot, put the throttle down with your right foot, and when you snap off of the brake you are on your way to a 0 - 60 in 2.6sec everytime..

Thank you for the interest in our products..

I certainly understand that, however is it not also true that people have been conservative on the hp levels attained on the Tiptronic cars? I was also reading a thread somewhere that people are working on upgrades for the Tips to hold more power.

As for my acceleration data, the best I have is from Accichelli who himself vboxed and ran his own car on a 1/4 mile track.. I also think that on a prepped track your car would run slightly slower than Vbox, as the 1/4 avgs speed over the last 60ft I believe.

By all means dont take this as a dig against you as I have first hand seen the quality of your carbon work on a 997TT. I absolutley loved it, and the product was perfect. Just questions as I plan on purchasing a 997TT of some sort (possibly a Panamera Turbo) to compliment my GTT.

It for me just becomes a question of dollars, do you buy a somewhat depreciated first gen and accomplish almost the same performance as you would with a PDK.

Btw, will always have a love for Champion Porsche.. Worked there approx 23yrs ago in the parts department! God im old!
