"Aerodynamics are for people who cannot build engines"...... Enzo Ferrari
It was from a dig, but I didn't do any brake torqueing or anything, and the start was not great. (I don't know if it's only my car or what but if I just mash the gas from a stop, often there is a notable pause before anything urgent happens.) The cars were pretty even up to 30 or 40 as I recall, and then the 911 started pulling away. I think with a manual box this car would be a lot faster off the line and would have held its own longer. But regardless, I was really impressed with what Porsche has wrung out of a naturally aspirated 6. It sounds super mean at full tilt too.
Yep, seems TC needs half a sec to lockup, then warp speed! kday you tuned at all? Its amazing what an extra 75hp and 125tq can do
vangelis, sweet pics, thanks! Looks like a bit of the drc is up in the air, you consider swapping out to level and firm the ride?

I don't think it's related to the lockup part of the torque converter -- that shouldn't come into play until steady state cruising. If anything the torque converter should be helping get off the line, by multiplying torque while slipping. But for whatever reason that doesn't seem to happen. Maybe it's ECU programming. I don't have a lot of experience with automatics but I know how to launch a manual quattro and I'm pretty sure that would be faster.
My car is not tuned. I have a MTM ECU sitting on a shelf but until now haven't been motivated to install it.
i seem to get to around 1500 rpm before the car really moves, assumption is its the tc building tq and that tq transitions down the driveline causing the initial lag?

All I know is I press on the gas and I get shot forward. My daughter loves it.

I swear that first second takes forever, then warp speed...
