The 2009 facelifted 911's get new DFI engines. Here's a video of a test rig at the Porsche R&D center putting the engine through its paces. The test rig simulates driving on the Nordschieife.

And I've seen also that if you visit the AMG facility once they build their engine, they connect it to a test rig that simulates a lap of the nurburgring...all before leaving the factory.

I know people have said this tons of times, but I must say I love that chick in your sig. It's mesmerizing to watch those.

i bet you guys that if germany made space ships, we'd already have astronauts on mars
This reminds me of that documentary regarding the Moon landing as being the biggest hoax of all time.
