Also, it will go 186 versus 182 mph (according to Porsche) if that matters to you...
306 ft-lbs of torque

Keep in mind that 0-60 times are so finicky. The difference between a tenth of a second, can you imagine?
Porsche, like BMW, are conservative in their listings of 4.4 and 4.6 seconds. Or, they're optimistic. It all depends upon the driver, the conditions (heat, humidity, etc.), tires, how laden the vehicle is (weight), and the gas (octane rating).

Lots o variables. As an average, I'd say 4.4-4.5 for a C2S is about right, and maybe .1-.2 quicker for X51.

Now add some mods, and you get the idea.

If you want to beat the guy next to you, spend time on shifting and on the autocross.

I would imaging that they would come upwith something, it is an expensive option, and Porsche can make some profit on this option.

for the extra Kw/HP they give what would be a more value for money option.

I know in Australia this option is in the vicinity of $30K which is a joke really as you can buy a new car for that much.

Any ideas thanks.
