Yeah, so today I'm on the 10W (cali) and I'm on my way to court, traffic is ok, and I see this beautiful deep metallic Porche 911 Turbo.... yeah, so I figured, I'd pull up, give him a thumbs up and be on my way.... Well, after the thumbs up, he pulled up next to me, and I figured, awww hell why not? Well, I'm not going to go into it, because my @$$ still hurts, but Jumping F**kin moses that thing was fast!

Those things are almost Viper fast, so you'd need like 350+rwhp to hang with one.

Almost viper fast? I thought vipers were like low 12's and 911 turbos were high 11's?

From a roll a Viper will win, even though it has the aerodynamics of an adobe brick. It all depends on the driver. The 911 Turbo GT2 is a low 11 second car, but that's not what we're talking about. 911 Turbos tend to trap 117-119mph, whereas Vipers will trap 120+consistently.

911 turbos are not that fast. If you have a single turbo and atleast 12psi you can hang with one. At 17 psi you can pull nicely.

Oh, no doubt you would pull with a good single tuned to 17psi...but you have to realize that an FD with a single running 17psi (i.e. 400+rwhp) is generally considered a very fast car.

I was in a non tuned fd that made 342 rwhp and we ran dead nuts with a GT2 that was slightly modified. (500 plus hp).
