Hello everyone gruss at all times. I would like to start a question that has been burning me for a long time on the occasion and regularly excites me again (at least a little). key word marketing athletes and performance promise from the manufacturers. I have a few examples. the Golf IV GTI in special edition (25 years GTI) engine 1.8 t with 180 ps, all kinds of snaps no man needs, one for a “compact athlete” weight of around 1400-1500 kg and rides the porsche gt 2 executable 996 , creates with standard chassis, and power (about 460 ps ) the same round times on the north loop as a tuner ( SHK ) specially prepared gt 2 ( 993 ) with class c chassis parts and 650 ps ??? the same gt 2 of techart getunt ( 996 ) with over 620 ps (techart indication ) drives with non-licensable chassis and exhaust only 6 sec faster ?? has porsche da a little cheated with the performance and left the testern a doped exemplar, the porsche customers do not reach with their cars the values measured by sport car, smells already or?? the m3 (e46) creates as replacement copyplate for a test suddenly not even the factory specification, the test copy was frisier at the first test. and there are still more empty promises (usage, topspeed ….) writes times what you think about it and whether you have noticed other things, or have made experiences with it yourself.
