I have 275-width Falken RT-615 tires on the rear of my 928S2. It probably makes about 280 hp at the rear wheels, perhaps 330 hp at the crank. I just know that I can break the rear tires loose at 90 mph by shifting from 5th to 4th.....and then flooring it. Not with odd clutch action-this is simply flooring it and then at 90 mph it goes SIDEWAYS~
N!

First of all, I doubt that your statement is true. If it is, then there is something wrong with your car,
or you should not drive at those speeds WHEN IT IS SNOWING....Second, I hate to break it to you, but rumor has it that automotive technology has evolved since the 928.....
Do you really think that because YOU cannot get 280 horses on the ground, that, surely, Porsche won't be able to do better????
They can, I'm quite sure of it...

The GT2 is rearwheel drive.

Lotus Elise, carbon fiber mid engined high performance sports car. Pontiac/Saturn Solstice/Sky, front engined, rear drive metal unibody made by GM, not <2000#s, not with amazing suspension/handling, not a Lotus anything.

The Elise and the Speedster do share the same platform, which is aluminum, not CF.
