I've been around a TON of porsches and seen even more on track. and sir that car was not making the power of a speed gt car. I have heard enough of them on my dyno to know when one is down on power, don't make me roll over to the dyno and start posting dyno graphs of cup cars, porsche sprint motors, or GT3 RS sheets. i think there are about 25 different cup cars on my dyno. .

James trotted out several excuses why we were so close to him (good hearted banter, we're pretty good friends) and never once did he mention the engine down on power (he's told me that before when it actually was in 2005) and when i was close to him on the track it pulled as I expected it to FWIW. You know drivers, if they're low on hp they never hesitate to tell you right away
