had a play with a Porsche Carrera 4S this morning..

VXR8 1 - Carrera 0

Only took it up to 60mph cos im still getting used to RWD through the bends but i was clearly ahead of him..

looked it up and its 0-60 is 4.6 mine is 4.9 so i guess really if he tried extra hard he would win.. by a wee bit

was reading the book and it says run in for brakes etc is 600-1000 miles

the diff can take up to 3k to fully run in. So top speed runs shouldnt be attempted for a bit yet. but i will finally be able to take the car over 70mph soon
