Having said that don’t equate the higher 1/4 mph compared to the F10 to significantly more power. AWD makes a huge difference in those measurements. Having a 2.1s 60-foot vs a 1.7 60-foot all else being equal makes a HUGE difference on ET and MPH. The best test for power comparison would be a rolling race.

Take the 991tt’s - they arnt that high powered but post very quick 1/4 mile and relatively high MPH as well... it’s the ability to put the power down.

We will shortly have 1/2 mile results on the F90 and that would be the best indicator of actual horsepower!
The ET is affected by traction - but the power of the car is trap speed. So I am also looking forward to seeing 1/2 mile results. 1/4 traps are already a good 3-5 MPH up compared to the F10. One mag did run the F90 without AWD and ran a 11.4 or 11.5. Porches are all underrated. Trap speed tells us that too as the TT S is hitting 132+ MPH. Huracan is another - at 132+.

That is why I stick to trap speeds.
