I found your dyno chart interesting as well. That nearly vertical torque curve from 3.5k-4.3K must feel like getting hit with a hammer.  If you bring the car back to Fontana for the Festival of Speed in April, as a very experienced Boxster driver on the Roval I would be willing to offer my services and act as test pilot for a few sessions... Purely in the interest of gathering data of course. |
Yeah the power delivery is completely different than the M96. In the CalSpeed video, I was experimenting with leaving the car in third gear rather than dropping down to second to see what different RMP/boost levels would do. In second gear, the car would spool instantly with any throttle input and the back end would try to come around. In third, it I would get some turbo lag but it kept the car from lighting the tires up on corner exit.
No PCA events planned right now. We are doing the NASA event at Buttonwillow April 21-22.
