650+ whp + full NOS launch + race clutch = broken 997tt

[360Forged]

Umm, yeah....I broke her yesterday
Details to follow once I get the diagnosis from Abid at ASR. Hopefully just a clutch issue but I can put it in gear and let the clutch out without stalling, or moving...Awesome! I guess something had to give. I'll post details once I know what's up so you guys can learn from my mistake and know what NOT to do.

WOW... hopefully its just a minor issue (clutch), good luck.

What did you have done to the car to be putting down 650 hp?? Good luck with the out come.

[GT RUS]

Hopefully its something minor...let us know...

[onelove]

Ouch, what type of race clutch where you using?

[chrisn]

That sucks man. Let us know what happened.

Memo to self: no hard launches

Thanks guys, I'll keep everyone posted. We have this stupid Tropical Storm over us today and tomorrow, so I probably won't know until later on this week...

The car has exhaust, intake, ECU, methanol injection, NOS, and I believe it's a Fidanza clutch but not 100% sure on that. Here's a vid:

Wow sick videos and sick cars! What does the 997TT run without the juice? and how much to the wheels?

Best I got off the bottle was 11.3@126...We estimate around 650-675 at the wheels on NOS, and maybe 550 on motor. That pass was done with less NOS than current, and without the methanol injection, should do 10.50's now. We'll see in October!

You dont have enough horsepower until you break anything and its excuse to get even more upgraded parts to hold even more more power.

Very true! Got the verdict just now, 2 rear broken axles...Trying to find them in stock so I can have the car ready for this weekend. I guess that's the weak point in the drivetrain.

[LUISGT3]

I would not put stock axles back on if I were you.

Awesome more chance modify. With the NOS and that much torques, tranny and rods are begging for upgrades.
