what was even funnier was that on the same day, a blown prelude wanted to run. he did several flybys and gave us major exhaust trying to tempt us to run. finally, i had no choice but to put him in his place. video starts after he does the last flyby. of course we give him the jump. enjoy...

stock vs stock the TT is a bit slower.

While we are in theme, watch this....an UMW stg 2 TT can't beat a chipped M5.

something wrong with the driver if a 500hp turbo can't beat an M5. There are a few UMW stge2's in my area I also have a friend with an M5 and an E55 AMG. I'll see if we can set some runs up to see where they stack up.

agreed. In many cases it is driver error, shifting to soon starting at the wrong rpm, etc. I seriously doubt that was a stage2 from UMW. Might have been a stage 2 from imagine auto using UMW turbos.
Agreed! Back in the day me and a buddy (member of 6speed) evo_911 did a pull , my FVD stg 2 turbo and his chipped m5, suffice to say from the jump to the end it was me pulling and pulling and pulling... Drivers play a HUGE role in getting these car's to operate optimally, something you rarely see done correct in these street/versus videos!

From the video of the F430 vs the 996tt. If that was a Stock 996tt the X50 might just take the stock F430?
I have a UMW stage 1 and am at ~520+ at the wheels

possibly. the x50 and the k16 car are both hampered by exhaust. X50 with exhaust would have a lot more top end and may be enough to best a 430. either one with a tune should beat a 430. Unless it is a scud. that one might be very close. the dual clutch tranny of the 430 gives it an edge over similar power 6 speed cars.

No - K24s (X50), with UMW Tune and Waste Gate Kit, Bosch DV, and EPGEN2 - Q
Thing is a flipping rocket - power comes on very quickly despite the K24s, and man does it build. Losing 75% of the lag was a pleasant surprise.
I can't imagine what folks are doign with another 100-200 HP above what I have - <Dennis Hopper>"Crazy man, just crazy."</Dennis Hopper>
