THE FACTORY PROGRAMMING OF THE COMPUTER AND SPEED CONTROL IS INCORRECT. PORSCHE STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING WITHIN CHARACTERISTICS AND SPECIFICATIONS [AND ACCORDING TO US LAW A VARIANCE OF UP TO 18% IS ALLOWED IN THE SPEEDOMETER.] HOWEVER, PORSCHE HAS TAKEN THE US LAW TO MEAN THAT IT IS ALLOWED TO INTENTIONALLY PROGRAM ITS COMPUTERS TO THE SAME SPECIFICATIONS AS ANALOG GAUGES.
