With Bahrain996TT's latest acheivement in his GT2 RWD car, the age old question of 996TT "launchability" has seemed to surface again. What's the lowest 60' time you've seen in your (or someone else's) 996TT in AWD configuration? Mine was 1.81 on Conti SC2 street tires when my car was a Stage 4.

 

I personally cut a 1.79 60ft on 19" Yokohama AVS sports (315/25/19) with full tire pressure (about 46psi). At 25psi, I am sure that the result would have been slightly better given the track conditions (or at least more consistent).

6-spd tranny

 

I did a 1.601 on street tires. When I tried drag radials I launched soft the first time but the tranny went bye bye. I'm thinking I may have been able to hit the 1.5s at least.

 

also:
Keep tiptronic vs 6 speed launch times separate,
completely different animals.

good 60' sharkman!
you as well Ruiner!

Thanks. Damn those tiptronics and their easy ability to build boost off the line.

 

I personally did a 1.74 60ft on 19" Yokohama AVS sports (315/25/19) on a 6 speed.

 

That's about the best I've seen (especially on 19's) Whenever I 1.8'ed I was super happy.
Here's an old slip I dug up from the Stage 4 days.

 

heres mine: FVD stage 3 with k24s

 

I see that your 1.74 and my 1.79 were both done on the 19" Yokos. I guess they really do hook up well after all, huh?

 

yes very close.... and from the look of things... thats not really bad....

 

I concur and its seems like any stage 4 with k24s will run 11.7 average.... assuming u get a 1.7 60ft. My average was 11.7 and my mph ranged from 122 to 125 mph.

 

I did 1.791 in my totally bone stock TT.

 

Every person in this thread but one has posted a quicker 60' time with their AWD TT's on street tires than I have with my RWD TT and drag radials. Good job, guys.

 

Scott, I got great practice- I burned my first clutch doing so LOL

Same reason I babied mine at the track. I don't want a burned clutch.
