I'm not sure, but doesn't the 997 have the recorder which records and archives all the information?
My M3 has it, used for warrenty "protection" they know exactly what you did to the car and engine during it's lifetime.

Diagnosis systems ain't that clever. Or more precisely, their memory capacity is not big enough to store all of "exactly what you did to the car and engine during it's lifetime".

The next step for these data recorders (black boxes) is to be used in accident investigations and used by lawyers to prove that their client caused/did not cause the accident.

Nope, it has shorter gearing.

What they can do is to store the number of ignition cycles for which the engine was run over certain preset rev limits, these presets being at engine speeds above the ignition/injection cut-off points.

I've heard elsewhere that it stores the number of events where (a) the car has hit the rev-limiter on the way up, and (b) number of times it has exceeded the max engine speed during down-changes. Not quite sure what the point is of recording the former, as surely that is what the rev-limiter is there for?

So a GT3 with 380HP should be able to be launched in the same time as a heavier 997S with only 350HP?!? Some numbers here seem goofy.
Maybe a very "special" 997S was sent for testing.

If you want pure straight line performance, you need a 911 Turbo or 911 GT2. Case closed.

...for the 993 Carrera RS and 4.6 seconds from 0-62 mph for the 997 Carrera S. Half a second faster, impressive.
From 0-125 mph however, the RS is at the same performance level as the current 996 GT3. ...

I don't think C&D is the only magazine performing like this - I wouldn't buy a former testcar from any company!

Porsche is rather conservative with their performance figures, so that less experienced drivers and / or despite tarmac with lower friction / hot weather / higher load will still be able to achieve good results.
Much unlike Ferrari and some other manufacturers...
