You seriously compare a tuned car with a "standard" model? Taking in consideration Porsche engineering's internal quality, safety, efficiency, reliability and durability tests and guidelines, your car would never make it to production in it's current state. Food for thought...maybe.

You are one mean dude Smiley

Seriously, I haven't tried to be mean. Smiley It is a mere fact. Manufacturers are developing/producing under completely different rules than tuners. This is also the reason why for example Alois Ruf gets always mad when somebody calls him a tuner. He is a manufacturer and he takes pride in it. Smiley

You also need to know that even if a Mezger based engine can take a lot of excessive power/stress, everything else like drivetrain, gearbox and even the bodyshell/chassis are not made for a power increase of 200 or even 300 hp. This can go very very wrong at some point, this is why I've never been a fan of excessive tuning. 50-100 hp should be acceptable (not always, it depends on the car) but everything in excess of 100 hp, I would leave to "manufacturers" like RUF.

This is just my opinion, nobody has to agree with it. However, I was lucky enough to get some direct insight into development (more than some of you guys can even imagine and I am very thankful to Porsche for that) and if you see how much details play a role in certain decisions, you would never trust a tuned car again. Power isn't everything.

It wasn't my intention to offend anyone, honestly. Smiley
