Beautiful sunny Los Angeles California. Come on down!! This cracks me up!!

VIDEO PLEASE!!

 

as an ex owner of a supercharged C2 996, i've got your back on just how well these things run, but even i'm starting to doubt some of these figures. i mean the 600+ hp CGT only does 125mph 2 secs faster than your SC'd C2. that doesn't seem right to me given the CGT feels (is) like a rocket ship compared to the SC'd C2.

 

You're a member and can post the video. Let me know where to send it and I'll get it out to you. I am pushing considerable more boost tha you were in your former SC car. You would be AMAZED at what these 3.4 engine can do with the right balance of boost, modification of the engine capartment temp sensor and resonance valve. And I am not done yet!

 

send video to paneraiwatches@yahoo.com and we'll post it!! CIAO

P.S. I guess your coming to LA before Xmas?

 

paneraiwatches - you've got mail. Thanks for posting.

 

Where's the video post?

 

What does this have to do with the new C6 Z06???

1999Porsche911 ... how are you getting your performance times measured??

Well, other than direct performance against the TT's on the street, I made a video a few days ago so I could measure exact time and speed in playback. I forwarded this video to paneraiwatches so he could post it, because I am not a member. He said he would, but I don't know why he hasn't. I have made a few more modifications to the SC setup since the video and look forward to making a new one sometime in the next few months.

I am sure I can do much better in time and speed with modification of tire size, but I am not interested in anything other than street driving.

 

I sure hope he doesn't say stop watch and the speedo

 

Let's see 1) if you'll still own the car in 2 years and 2) show the video when it eventually grenades from heat stress . This is as boring as the guys with their 800 hp '68 Novas that can " blow away a Turbo "- of course they can . As if I couldn't afford to build a junkyard full of those things ? Feel free to " blow me away" anytime you are in the area . I had one of the first year perpetually rattle/squeak - infested football-grained interior '99 996s - shockingly it's RMS never failed on me !

 

And just what increase in heat are you talking about? Car runs cooler than a turbo and even cooler than a stock 996. I guess you spend alot of time adding to your mechanic knowledge base from reading headlines on the internet.

I suggest that you don't bother pretending to be an expert on things you don't understand.

 

I've been driving and modding sports cars for 30 years . If you think you can add hundreds of hp ( heat ) to an internal combustion engine and state " what extra heat "just because your dash water temp gauge reads the same - you are really saying a lot about your engineering knowledge, LOL ! You must have slept through themodynamics in elementary college physics .

 

Gee, all those accusations and you have NO IDEA what my degree is in or what I do for a living. Fact is...an increase in HP DOES NOT by definition increase the heat of an engine. And if you had any knowledge of Chemestry and Physics, you would know the many simple ways to reduce the heat in an engine...even on a stock engine. (HINT: How does the ratio of Ethyline glycol and water effect the temp of an engine? What effect does cam timing have on engine temperature? Does the fuel/air ratio keep your engine running cooler? And on and on and on)

Rather than attacking me, why not open your mind and realize tha maybe some of us DO know what we are talking about.

But, I am not here to convince anyone of anything. I posted a performance fact so take it as you like.

 

Can someone help post this video?

 

So you have no REAL times.

Just some estimating ... good luck with your car.
