I've searched, but I can't find a 1/4 mile time on the 991 turbo or turbo S.

I find it hard to believe nobody has run one yet. Surely some tuner has their hands on one to run some baseline tests...

Someone does have a time listed on dragtimes.com, but the picture of the car is that of a 997.

 

Well US magazines are certainly about to get there tests cars, it's only a matter of time now. I usually like R&T the best. Can't wait to see what time they get out of it.

 

10.6 - 10.7 w/LC

 

Is that a guess or as tested? What MPH?

 

no 991's on dragtimes.com... yet.. I have a friend trading his 997.2 Turbo S for the 991, so I should have times soon... vs the 12C..

I think it will be similar to the 997.2 Turbo S, 30 extra HP is good for 1/10 or so and 1.5 MPH, but the 991 did gain some weight?

 

Hang in there...

We've got a car arriving any day and the plan is to take it right to the track.

 

^ ^ ^ ^ yes, that's the proper break-in method

I drifted my M3 out of the dealer lot bouncing off the rev-limit and drove it up to a dyno (at 50 miles on the ODO) and then set the record (still stands) for a stock e92 M3.

 

Really? No break-in at all huh?
Is the need for break-in with a car these days just a myth?

 

Break-in is no myth. It just pays off in the long run and most people know they're not going to keep it that long.

 

Well, the European magazines started producing numbers: 10.7 in the 1/4

The 100-300km/h figures are particularly interesting

R8 V10 - 36.3 sec
BMW M6 - 26.5 sec
NISSAN GTR - 32.6 sec
PORSCHE 911 TURBO S - 26.9 sec

 

I saw on FB that you took delivery. Going to track this weekend?

 

haha, test and tune nights are Monday and Wednesday I think..lol

 

Tom, curious if you know what are the motor differences between the 997.2 Turbo S and the 991 Turbo S other than ECU changes?

From what you said before, there was a significant change from 2010 to 2011 in the 997.2's going from 3,6litre Metzer to 3,8litres DI. So I presume the 2014 Turbo S uses the same motor as the 2011+ 997.2s??

Thanks!

 

Well, we've only had the car 1 day, so we're still putting a few miles on it. We have poked around the engine a little bit but not very thoroughly yet. There are a few things that look different, but I don't wanna say for sure yet until we really take a closer looks.

I'll start a new thread about it with some good pics next week

 

Congrats! I wanna see it as well as the rest of the shop. I'm in Boca all next week so perhaps I can stop by for a look
