You revived this thread to say that? BTW the overboost function provides for 10 seconds of 3 more pounds of boost resulting in 505 Ft lbs of torque at just over 2000 RPM at full throttle. It was part of a $1840 option called the Sport Chrono option. The horsepower figure you posted are laughable at best. The weight you posted is off as well they are 3,494 pounds with the manual transmission, 3,572 with the Tiptronic automatic. Before you post here you might want to actually know what you are talking about.

I said 3600 lbs...most turbo's are not driven around dry weight without a driver. They're heavy...it's a luxury missile. If you want light weight go with an early air cooled car or a 996/997 Gt3/2. The Tip IS 3600 lbs.
3rd...ease up a little, you're taking this whole "I TOLD YOU SO THING" a little to seriously.
4th. YES...sorry to tell you, it is 381 rwhp...EXCUSE ME...AWHP.
When was the last time you saw a car company (EVEN PORSCHE) advertise in RWHP? I'll photo copy a dyno sheet if i can't find one on google. There was a pretty big upset in the porsche world when the real world #'s didn't match the claimed #'s. Porsche AG says it was because USA's pump gas sucks and Porsche's #'s were on euro 98 or whatever. Search in pelicanparts.com's forums if you're really interested because i'm not anymore.
