Fellow porsche owners, do you guys ever feel like people underestimate how fast your car is? I know my car doesn't make that much hp and I've had people laugh when they hear it's sub 300hp... but I usually can beat them in a dig pretty easy, I can hold my own in a roll as well.
Pic related but not my car.
Are you the Porsche guy Matt made fun of?

why do you care
Most people don't realize how light the cars are, and Porsche kind of underrates their cars. Seems like numbers they quote are somewhere in between whp and bhp. Some stock 996's were getting whp numbers that suggested like <15% drive train loss which seems unlikely.
Even then, na Porsche's can be a little quicker than expected from their hp and weight. Obviously they're fast from a dig because they hook, but don't have awd drivetrian loss so that helps on a roll.
The real impressive and underestimated cars are the new 718's with PDK. 118 trap with 350 hp? Fucking nuts. A 350 bhp mazdaspeed 3 traps like 108, and would get even more rekt from a dig.

Don't forget the engine is either just ahead of the rear wheels or just behind the rear wheels, so there's a shitton of grip there.
Porsche launches are insane.
