I am actively following this. I am thinking of buying a base c2s or 911 t (manual of course) and right away going this route. I can't wait for updates. This is a game changer.

For people who want a manual trans but tt like performance this is a no brainer.

991.2 is an unknown quantity at this point

I hate when that happens

Showed that you probably have the Cabriolet weight for the TTS because even C&D lists weight at est. 3550lbs. Carrera T is only 11 pounds lighter than the base 2S. It's 44lbs lighter than a 2S with "comparable equipment." The T's not even close to 150lbs lighter.
Well, take a look at these weights:



The Turbo is 3563 pounds and as you know weights vary based on fluids. But let's even grant you this weight.

The Carrera is 3229 pounds. Porsche states the Carrera T is 44 pounds lighter than a similarly equipped 911. So, that puts it at 3185 before you add carbon ceramic brakes and the GT3 style seats with rear seat delete.

That sounds to me like 500 pounds is well within reason. I guess we'll know for sure when T's are independently weighed but the fact is the car is much, much, much, much lighter

We don't race dyno sheets, we race cars. There are plenty of examples where cars don't run the times people expect from the dyno sheet. There are many variables, let's just wait and see. I'm not saying you're wrong - I'm saying that I prefer to see actual results. I mean... let's face it, you're having trouble believing me and I have the time slips...
Agreed! And you want me to jump into the future and get timeslips? I can't. Development is a process. Based on the graphs I am making my conclusions. A 991.2 3.0 with this upgrade will flat out spank a Turbo S. There is nothing hard to believe there. Lighter car, more power. Physics, right?

And two other time slips with *lots* of wheel spin - 133.1 and 133.9:
Seriously impressive slips!

Yeah, my .2TTS ran a 7.3 60-130. I posted the verified graph up on the FB group.

The .2 Turbo S is a great car to target for performance metric goals, but obviously they can be modded as well. Looks like there's enough fuel pump for full E85. That should be good for 670+ whp, given what they've done with them on meth, which is similar tuning strategy. That will be good for 9s all day long at over 140 mph. Several .2 TTS coupes have already gone 9.9 @ 138-139 on 93 octane with just a couple of bolt-ons. Can't wait to see for myself

Don't think that straight e85 has yet been tested. They do have an upgraded fuel system compared to the 991.1 which is limited by that.
