Hell, its their name on the line.
I know exactly what Cobb does to prepare as I have been with them on several such occasions. They go to great lengths and expense to make sure that they give it their all.
Maybe Techart felt a bit cocky or over confident in their car and figured not to fully prepare properly. In the end though, their $200K Porsche FAILED hardcore to a $99K car that on paper has less power/torque and more weight.

Techart isn't some high end porsche motor tuner, they make most of their money from their body kits and rims not their engine tunes.
You take a car with the AWE kit on the 997 turbo and it will destroy that GTR.
