Question What cars can beat a 996 Twin Turbo with Stage IV?

What cars can beat a 996 Twin Turbo with Stage IV?
In 0-60
Top Speed
Overall

I was going to ask what cars can a Turbo with Stage IV beat? That list would've been very long, I'm sure this list will be much smaller.

Interesting a modified mustang? How does it handle?

I was thinking more on the lines of, what high end luxury car (stock) can take a Stage IV Porsche.

Rave, I think that there isn't any "stock" car out there that would be able to take it, ie. Enzo, Carrera GT etc...There are some heavily modified Japanese cars that will give it a run, like a single turbo Supra or Skyline, but who cares, your car will be fast as hell

No ****! My car will be faster than an Enzo, cool! What about the Lamborghini's? McClaren, etc. (sorry for the stupid noob questions).

Chordate is an unknown quantity at this point
No... Enzo and CGT will be faster. If you go for a Stage 4GT, than you would probobly be able to beat a Murci.

I doubt whether a stage 4 can take on the McLaren F1 or an Enzo. Just look at power/weight ratios, aerodynamics, etc.

Pretty well, I am scared to take it to the limits. With a coil over setup My corner grip will be close to 1.0 G's if not higher.


If you want a stock car to be faster and handle better a Saleen SR with a smaller pulley on the S/C Here is a link to saleen's website. This car cost more than your turbos

Heffners Performance Supercharged Viper GTS and Heffner Twin Turbo Viper GTS will destroy Stage 4, 5, 6 (if ever) and any other tuned 911.

My buddy has one where he taped himself doing - 0-208mph in 25seconds. - Video can be seen at www.heffnersperformance.com

The car is sickly. 865RWHP

There a lot of cars that will outdrag you. Even a moded Lancia integrale 4pod can run sub 10sec quarter mile. I know first hand from a shoot out. Supra,skyline,moded previous GT-2 at 700ps and plenty others. But It is hard to find such an al around vehicle like the 996TT. The handling and laser steering of it. It makes you a better driver because the car is so good. I recently drove a 1200PS skyline 0-120 in the 7s really scary. I don't think that absolute numbers describe everything. And for me 0-60 or quarter times don't really desribe the capability of your car. When we were testing cars with Ruf and TTp in Germany we were attacking sharp turns at 200mph. Then slammed the brakes and accelarated again. Very few cars if any can do this. My favorite was a 650ps GT-2. Really amazing. That car is so different from a TT.
My 2 cents.

The Protomotive 996 Turbo but that is an obvious answer.

CGT, Enzo, Veyron, MacF1... will be close, but I think it would still beat the Stage 4 in a drag.
