raymanuk Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 If your brothers Porsche is the 2001 model then 996 is 4wd but on a 20/80 split on power. 20% at the front and 80% at the rear. An old friend of mine has a 996 Twin Turbo. It runs on 0.9 bar of boost but you can turn it up to 1.2 via the Porsche garage for little or no cost depends on your relationship and then you will be at around 500bhp. A very quick car and can stop very quickly. Also they are a 3.6 litre. With all the engine weight over the rear axle. Good luck with it fella and I hope you get your power levels in the Supra to beat the porker. Nice Supra BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

typy Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Think you might have to have at least 500hp 2 get any where near him TBH! Have a friend with a 550hp Poker GT2! Raced a few 600hp Supra's and left them quite easy rolling from 60! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

typy Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Wot hp is ur car Gazboy?? I was thinking of getting a supra soon around the 700hp mark! Do u reckon that'll be enough to see off one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Mine is 250rwhp. A stock GT2 has 320bhp/ton, plus loads of traction- so you need to have a better bhp/ton just to keep up. Ofcourse over 130mph weight means jack shit, although my mates Cerb which isn't that much more powerful than my car could kick my arse over 130mph.

TT-DEK Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 HI Ulrik. I have had done what Dangerous brain said all the mods except bigger cam, and had on R/R pushing 410 @ 1 bar. WI not on. so would be a good scrap i think?? 1.2 bar and WI on with Methanol, should pip him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
typy Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 o course it bloody will, 700bhp = 467 bhp per ton roughly Yer but from previous experiences....The way the power is delivered from the to is so different! GT2 is made for that power..It seems the supra has loads of power but at every gear change it falls back.....! I have a Supercharged CTR atm.... I have 295hp, thats all! I have raced a couple of 600hp supra (one of them Terry s from here) While they are quicker jus not quite wot i thought double the hp should be...In every gear they pull a lil bit but as they change it seems like a drop in power and im still there! Ive raced the gt2 as well and that thing leaves twice as much as any of these cars! I also raced a Black supra a while ago (any1 from here???? Cheshunt,Herts area) I sat behind him and he booted it, was nothing in it, and at 100 odd i slowly pulled past...afterwards he asked wot i had done because he had 395hp????? Weird!!

paul ashton Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Okey, heres the deal. My brother just traded his BMW X5 + $$$ for a Porsche 996 Turbo. And now im not the fastest anymore. He got it today, and we haven´t raced yet. Because i havent put on all my BPU items yet. Still my car is waiting for the spring to come. Will be intressting later on. His Porsche: 996 Turbo 2001 Year Model Triptronic 420 hp What do i need to upgrade to , in order to beat his ass ? My Supra: HKS SSQV Kit HKS 4" Hiper Titanium HKS EVC 5 Greddy 60mm Boost Meter White Faced Greddy 60mm E.G.T Meter White Faced Greddy 60mm A / F Meter White Faced Greddy BCC Blitz SUS Kit RMM Downpipe I know i need to upgrade to a "Singel Turbo". And i have no clue what to get, to keep up, or even go faster then him. Any tips would be nice, so i know what to save up to, till 2007. Hehe A picture of his Blue Porsche and a picture of my Black Supra. Thanks fellas // André of Sweden Who cares,soops always look the bo*****s.

AJI Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 hope this thread isn't turning into a which is better supra or GT2 ? I know for a fact that the GT2 is a much better handling car than a Supra... the chassis design and the way it gets the power down in the bends is a lot more effective than a Supra. The Supra was designed around the 320bhp area... a GT2 was designed around the 460bhp area... thats a big difference. I've not driven a GT2 myself but I have driven the GT3 which I'd say would still beat a Supra round a track. And when I did get the chance to have a play with a GT2 on some local 'a' roads I found it impossible to keep up. Although to my defense, the local driver of the GT2 is a competitor in the British Rally Championship Which adds a bit more of a challenge to the equation. But the front end grip of the 911 and the ability to commit to a corner seems to be where it has much more of an edge, (not to mention the way you can plant the throttle on corner exit in a Porsche knowing you have the engine weight to plant the tyres into the road). I'm not saying the Supra is crap... far from it.. just that the Porsche GT3 and GT2 are a more track focussed cars in stock form... a Supra can easily be tuned up and uprated parts added which would see it compete on a more even level. But even then the Porsche can be tuned further and made to be more focussed still which would give it even more of an edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Steve, you are being a little economical here. I had 2 Month old optimax in the car. On the VVTi the throttle shuts when it senses knock. Everytime I nailed her she shut the throttle. As I told you at the time, and you agreed, you could here the exhaust note changing. Anyway, gladly do it again anytime with fresh fuel!
