I don't agree, I think it leaves the line extremely quickly and leaves almost everything standing, but there is a technique that takes practice. The key is neither to bog down nor spin the wheels. Try blipping the throttle with the clutch disengaged to momentarily raise the engine speed to 3-4000 rpm. Then engage the clutch and floor the throttle as the revs are on the way back down. Aim to fully engage the clutch as the revs fall past around 2500rpm and don't give it the beans until the clutch has fully engaged. On a dry, quality surface with warm, decent tyres you should be punched in the back of the head by the head restraint and not see a significant reduction in the rate of acceleration until you hit the red line.
Doesnt this only confirm my thoughts :? for 99% of owners 99% of the time there are other cars that would be away far easier & quicker .
When i changed from a tip 964 to a manual 996 the figures said the water cooled was the quicker car but in action i found the tip felt far sharper from the off with the foot buried
Im also going to upset many again by saying after the 900 miles just covered i never felt the need to get anywhere close to the rev limiter
