Mind you the TS50 is about the same price as a 911 Turbo.... :togo:

Gee mate get out of second next time :-). I did 68s on my 46hp dirt bike (road tyres though of course)
My stock standard E49 Charger on 205s and brakes that didn't last a lap was 74

A standard 997 Carrera (not the S) will do the triple figures in about 5.0s if its a manual, the 5 speed auto adds about .3-.5s to that time. Targa top is heavier, so generally is a little slower performance wise.

Still a ripping good drive. My old man has a 2007 997 C2S and it is fantastic. The 996 is not so popular, so garners lower 2nd hand prices, but it is still a great car and shouldn't be overlooked.

I will add this..... all i know is that the race prepped porshe Carreras cup support series (not sure exactly what model porshe they run)..,,,but they run slower lap times then the v8 supercars at every track im sure......so I find it hard to believe a standard model out pacing a SC. didnt crompo mention the other round the v8s will hit 100 in under 3 secs.......

I'm sure your 11.2 required some sticky tires a bit of a burn-out.......30 years ago your car might have pulled a 16 second pass so it seems a fair bit has been achieved in 30 years


Meh, I run 11.9's with no burnout, normal rubber and three baby seats and a tool box in the back, a full sized spare and a tank of fuel in my 4 door sedan. I also drive it daily, service it every 10 000km for only $350, and have a reasonable amount of kit as standard.

I think Im batting well enough to not be worried about something like the Porsche 911 Turbo.

Had a blast in a 997 mk2 Turbo S and it is like being shot out of a cannon.

No fuss, no wheelspin, just wow.

Yeah but they require skill and most people would be faster on track on regular middleweight street bike with half the power.

the super car is almost 2 seconds faster in the 100-200kph range - the double clutch and 4x4 does wonders for the porsche

now the new GT2 will be interesting - extra 40hp and only rwd saving anything up to 190kg
now that would be a fun car (for about $400k it better be)

GT2 aka the widowmaker.

Take a 911 Turbo, add power and reduce traction. Epic.
