Thomas,

haha ... leider kann ich keine 996er Testberichte aus den Jahren 1987-1993 ausfindig machen

Aber hier ein Auszug aus einem witzigen Artikel, der sich über diverse Bordcomputer im 996 auseinandersetzt:

Cray on wheels
The most powerful computer in the car is the engine control unit, which controls the amount of fuel and oxygen the engine gets. It took 50 work years to develop and contains 600K of code and 250 function modules. According to Zag, the engine control unit alone is a powerful as the first Cray. (A Cray is a supercomputer — the kind that's needed to build huge models for monitoring the weather or your company's employee stock option pool.)

Most people, however, tend to take the engine control unit for granted because it works transparently and without intervention. The computer technology of the car that truly blew my mind, however, is the Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system. Here's how it works.

You're blasting down a road way too fast because you have more money than brains. Suddenly, the road veers to the left and you can't turn fast enough (because you're talking on a cellular phone) so the car keeps going straight ahead (this is known as understeer). In the 911 Carrera 4, the PSM system kicks in and applies the left rear brake in order to pull the front of the car to the left. In the case of oversteering (you turned too much and you're about to plant your face in the oncoming traffic), the PSM system applies only the right front brake to pull the front end of the car to the right ...
