Good video, I'm sure it was posted in the You Tube thread.

machine is better

run it for days, more aggressive than most tracks.. more of a rigorous accurate test.

You'd be surprised at the money that goes into testing within engineering! Besides, Porsche have an insane amount of money to play with.

Would need the car first for that and dyno is more repeatable. Pocket money for a rig like that TBH.

If it's going in the lounge I'll set it up right behind my chair for when I'm playing Forza, for the fumes, heat and of course the NOISE

Running it on a machine takes out the human element, they are German after all....
