996 Has As New RWHP at 240K
 

Seen this?

I Dyno Tested My 1999 Porsche 911 With 243,000 Miles

That's pretty awesome. I would have never guessed it still had that much HP.

Questions:

Was it a calibrated dyno?
Why compare a mantained 996 car with unmaintained Top gear cheapos?

A question and an observation
 

Why is there a need to go into the high end gears....wouldn't it produce the same horsepower in first (I know nothing about Dynos).

Second that strap in the back looked questionable considering it was holding that car in place !!

That's not uncommon at all.. Miles loosen clearances, decreasing "motoring HP" and freeing up power. It'll stay just this strong, till it pops.
