Impressive Vid: Road and Track Launches the 991 Turbo S over 50 times!!!
Some of you may have seen this already but I had to post it here. Its almost kind of funny when the announcer tries to replicate the sounds before the car launches. I think it was actually launched 61 times in a row; rather impressive to say the least.
I love my S for this truly usable feature but I had it on my 991 C4S with the same PDK system. One thing I recommend is no one buy this test mule when Porsche runs it thru the auction. Wait, its ok to since its a Porsche

And Ill back up that claim- the car really launches that correctly. Its the way launch control should be. It should not take 7 steps and an act of god to make it occur.

That launch seems so effortless, let alone built to last allowing so many in a row.
I've just tried a quick getaway in the M5 and got the throttle moderation wrong which resulted in a 'kangaroo' (doh!) - haven't done one of those since cold start driving in the E46. I'm sure you've had no such embarrassing moments in the TT S! That car just looks like so much fun. |

Vic you had lots of p cars. I bet the only time they were in the shop was for schedule service. Our boxter was bulletproof

I wonder how many quality cars can we say that will hold up like the p car.

These posts are a bad influence - the dark side is indeed strong IMHO, what's really great is that you don't need to spend $200K (or equivalent) to achieve this, as Vic says above he had it on his PDK equipped C4S - obviously less performance, but I can imagine still fun when launching. |

This is why historically Porsche has ruled the track. Durability. While other manufacturers cars sit in the paddock/shop/limp mode, P cars are lapping relentlessly.
Here's to hoping the 991 GT3 continues the tradition (after having its engine replaced) |

Now that's just silly. A 997.2 Turbo S will spank an M5. A 991 Non S will spank an M5.
If there is ANY doubt of this maybe SOOOMA and I can meet and see. NC is not far from GA. I will run with my top down and I promise never to leave 5th gear-lol!
