the weight input does not affect acceleration readings, it affects hp readings.

 

not the new carrera s, if that's what he raced. even the most conservative mags have tested them in the mid 12's---and high 3's to 60. the new s is fast and it bests a stock 993 turbo in almost every category of performance. actually, i just checked my road and track and they tested 3.9 to 60 and a 12.3 quarter at 114.8. that's pretty quick in my book and you'd need quite a few mods on your average fd to beat it.

 

a T-78, street ported, apex power fc, apex n1, apex intercooler, 3mm seals, BFGoodrich 285 T/A kd in back + the carrera runs 4.6 0-60

 

I have driven just about every porsche, they all suck for the money except for one. The GT-2. The turbo is fast as ****, and believe it or not the GT-2 actually beats the turbo by 100 ft. 0-60 and almost 350 1/4 mile. It is UNFREAKIN believable. The GT-3 is a waste of money as it is NA. But still, for $180kish I would have many other cars over that.

 

I drove a few modded porsche turbos when I did some window tinting, got my hands on a 600whp 911 turbo...that was fun....put my car to shame

 

yeah $180 K for a gt3, i think its stupidest thing ever...that's like worst than 60K for m3

 

Its 180k for the gt2 which is the one with the turbo. The gt3 is just over 100k i believe. For an NA the gt3 sure does haul ***. It runs low 12s in the quarter bone stock which is just as fast as the turbo 911. It also handles pretty damn good too.

 

yeah i thought something wasnt right..someone posted 180K for gt3

 

I know your saying good things about the car but I just wanted to add that it handles better than "pretty damn good" the GT3 is a serious ******* car, I would pay the price for one.

 

LOL that was a rape.

With full exhaust, ECU, and 13.5psi (and other minor stuff) I was neck-n-neck with a 996 Turbo till we dropped off at about 140 or so. I can't imagine a T78 against a NA carrera

 

I can't believe you guys are trying to claim a 911 or M3 is a "waste of money". There's a lot more to a car than 0-60 and 1/4 times. Basically the same reason you guys choose to drive 12 year old cars...

 

I've driven a 911, a 993, AND a 996. Personally, I think the 996 is a waste of money. The 911s and the 933s all make you feel like part of the car. The 996 seems to want to do everything for you. The 996 even felt Slushly compared to the other models.

I can't blame Porsche though. It's the same reason why they came up with the Cayenne. They have to make money, and the only way to do it is by selling cars that most people will agree with. The 996 made me feel detached from the car.

If I had the money, I would never buy a 996. I'll buy a 993 Turbo. Of course, if I can afford a 993 Turbo, I'll save a lil more cash and get a Turbo S

IMHO, the 993 Turbo S is ultra Sexy. No lines anywhere. Just one big nice contoured shape with beautifully blended engine bay intake ports

 

I eat carreras farely easy, and im making 300 h.p. So im nto surprised that a 520 hp fd can toy with it lol. Good job

 

TO BE MORE SPECIFIC A 1998 Porsche 911 GT.1

but im a porshe fanatic so 98 & older ill take it



my bad for resurecting the thread

 

I for one believe you!

what is surprising is that the T78 had no lag on a roll from 60 in 4th...@ 16psi how much hp r u puttin down? 380 or so???

 

"T78-FD vs. 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera"

You are a mean man!

 

Can we see pics of this 520 whp FD? Also dyno graphs. I still can't beleive this dude has all this **** and is only 16.

 

he's 16? what is his dad/mom thinking? This world is comming to an end.

 

Well said!!

 

Yeah, only 16. I can't imagine what it is like being 16 and having that much power. It is like a death wish.

 

Yeah, only 16 with $10k in mods... It is like a wet dream.

 

look im 17 and can't imagine having all of that power...

sorry but i have to call BS..

or your parents are IDIOTS.

 

10K? **** I would say more than that. That FMIC is more than 2K alone. Then a $3500 T-78 kit. Fuel mods, tires, and all supporting ****. Damn I have spent 6K and I am still on stock twins.

 

I was going to say $20k, but you never know if it was all purchased used.

I still say it's bullshit.

 

I say it's a bullshit and his parents are idiots for having an idiotic son who posts crap on this forum.
