Ok, a friend of mine is going to organize a little encounter with my cossie and a 996 turbo which is owned by his work mate and is apparently tuned to 500bhp.

We know the perfect stretch of de-restricted tarmac for the job and will probably start from a 2nd gear roll from 30mph up to 150.

Do you guys recon i'll win or loose badly?

 

I dont think there will be much in it up to a ton , but after that youve had it mate Porsches are well slippery dont forget

 

Deano is spot on I reckon.

But if it look like this. You are FUCKED.

This will easily outrun an Enzo.

 

If it is a genuine 500bhp I'd say you're fucked, porkers always pull out figures FAR better than their power/weight suggests they would. I assume this must be down to the powerband rather than the peak power but I've also read at sometime (I think on G-Force Motorsport's website?) that they have incredibly low transmission losses in comparison to other cars.

To give you an idea of how quick they are BTW, the Factory Power Kitted (450bhp) 996 turbo did 0-100 in 8.8secs & 196mph in Autocar IIRC? So with 500bhp it must be in the mid-low 8secs to 100 & like Deano says, they really come into their own above 100.

Oh & also they are apparently virtually indestructable & will withstand countless full bore launches

But good luck & be sure to let us know how you get on

 

your gonna need luck m8

Very interesting how it's gonna turn out thou

 

will be interesting


the lad with the gt3 at totb last year thought his was indestructible as well --- till it went home on a tow truck

dunno what was wrong with it

 

Porkers also have a patented synchromesh system, the quicker and harder you change gear the faster it engages.

 

lol @ porkie so true

 

ermm if its what ur m8 say it is u will come second

 

a porsche has better aerodynamics. but it would be a great fun for you both

 

Hi
At totb1 a Porsche gt2 modied to about 500bhp ran the same 500 metre time as mine within .01 & yep he was quicker. In the 1.25miles he ran 183 my best is 179.6, so with the same Power the Porker is faster.
Cheers Rod

 

Here's another comparison - http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/sh...ad.php?t=24665

 

It was a GT2 owned by Guy and it was a failed clutch cable thats all

 

been in 2 996 turbos and can honestly say they are quick as fook !

think your gonna lose mate

 

You would think that if it does genuinly have 500bhp and you only have 400 in a 4x4 cos your gona get a beating.

Like somone said though, will be a good laugh trying

 

Good luck matey, i have faith in the mighty RS.....

you know what people are like but,he could be one of those people that if you add a vanillaroma airfreshner he says it adds 20bhp if you get what im sayin...

 

What a load of bollox I put one in and it only added 17 BHP and I lost loads of bottom end torque
has anyone tried forest fresh yet?

 

500hp 996 turbo = leave the cossie at home mate.

 

a lad i know has just bought a yellow gt2 it looks awesome, he is a bit handy at the wheel as well

wants to be quick for £ 120k ish it cost
