I think Craig and I have put that one to bed a while ago... and even Porsche admitted with the 997TT that the tips _are_ indeed faster. Gearing sure does help.

Anyways, here's another GT640 (with hoses, PSS9s etc...) Tip that we've done- I'm pretty confident these guys will run low low 11s. It's been a long time since I was there but I did do 11.1-3 back in the day. We also did the yet _another_ full GT2 front conversion (no thanks to Spidey who started the madness our shop smells of sweeeet coolant!). Went with the Misha GT2 wing as the full one would look a bit top heavy. Either way, one fast polar-silver cab. Needs stickier tires:P

As many GT640s as we've done (and there have been a lot!), it's about 70 - 30 in favor of tips. So not only do us Tip owners have faster cars but we love to mod too dammit

 

sweet! Tips Rule!

 

Hey Alex that's a sweet looking cab, they can have their Starbucks and run the quarter mile Will there be new times coming on your car?

 

Even though we're in Cali, we don't see too many 996TT cabs It's a _little_ less stiff than the coupes but in this weather can't be beat.

I'll get some new times soon. I honestly haven't gone back in a year. I thought I'd retired but the car does have some goodies on it. I just have to find a Saturday that isn't 110 degrees and/or people don't need intakes, headers, flashes etc... lol. Easier said than done.

 

Only when they're slow

 

Amen braddah!! My latest mod on the tip is insane fast.

 

LOL what did you do??? What did you do!?

 

Tips are ghey . . . crutches for metrosexual men who are afraid to drive a real sports car.

Ghey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a Ghey Tip in Seal Ghey!!!!!!!!

 

I know the one thing that gets me is that all Tiptronic owners go crotchless.

 

Nice work Sharky, what manufacturer do you use for the front bumper? What's the total cost for that?

 

OMFGGGGGGGG

Im neutral, different choices for everyone! I know i wouldnt give up my 6spd for anything, espcially on a sports car!

 

Maxwell in the past we tried after market ones and just came to the conclusion that we just never liked fiber glass on the front. Also you would never get the air flow working correctly so we just did a full GT2 bumper conversion and changed out the radiator orientation, brackets and about 25 other bits

The kit is usually about 3600 depending upon which pieces you want/need...

 

Has anyone said that Tip's are slow? With your beast, I think you've erased doubt in everyone's minds, Alex!

Sharky I think the argument never was speed at least in my minde..however for track purposes (not drag racing) a stick is better for control and sliding the car..unless of course you have the gearbox of and F1 car or an Enzo..but a tip still has a torque convertor and is not an SMG or F1 so for true shifting purposes and skilled track manuvers the stick will always win...but for your puposes Tip is the way to go..The 997 Tip tested as fast 0-60 as the CGT ..thats scary!
