I wouldn't think the ML63 was that much faster, impressive.

What year is your turbo?
I think the results would have been much closer if you started at a high rpm. Looks like you suffered from turbo lag at the beginning.

Yes turbolag was a killer. Keep in mind I live 4600ft above sea level, at the coast it would have been a different story. Cayenne is a MY2006.

Actually the difference would have been larger at sea level. NA engines suffer much more at elevation than turbocharged engines because boost pressure compensates to a certain extent for the loss of atmospheric pressure. Hope that helps.
