I can't help thinking that whoever came up with the acronym "SPASM" hadn't bothered to check whether it might have some undesired meaning in one of the world's major languages?

At least they didn't call it facial SPASM
Actually, that would describe my immediate reaction when I first read it!

SPASM - blame me
I came up with it about 2 years ago as a way to describe these electronic suspension systems that don't always respond in the way you think they should.
SPASM is also a distant relative of SPAM - something that should be substantial but is really reconstituted leftovers that no one else wanted...

What am I missing here?
I thought 7:50 had already been stated by Porsche...
Factory time, driven by Walther Rohrl. Sport Auto is independent tester (useful for comparisons to other marques) driven by Horst v. Saurma.
Is that the guy who's past it?
I think 10 seconds off the current C2S time. So that's in the 7:50 range, if HvS was up to it of course.

Then, of course, there is SPERM - Special Porsche Electronic Rod Manipulator....
