Another low trap for the 991 Turbo S. I have to wonder if up top the computer is pulling timing and boost with the CA 91 octane. This was a common problem on the '13 Nissan GT-R where Nissan eventually did a TSB to reflashing the car because of the power loss on 91 octane.

Isnt this the same test as the mag you posted earlier? I didn't check below in the history... I know Motorweek got a different result:

No, the other test was Road & Track which trapped 124.4mph. I really think it is the gas. The Motor Week test likely used 93 octane. The Motor Trend and Road & Track traps are lower than even 997 TT with PDK (non-S). There has to be something wrong for it to be pulling power up top.

I agree that difference is nuts. My Turbo S feels very strong compared to other cars Ive owned/own.

Lieberman needs to stop reviewing cars, he'd be better being a tour guide for local city attractions and restaurants. What a pointless review.

Porsche 911 Turbo S is an amazing machine. Congrats to the fellas on the board that own such an amazing machine. One day for me!
