GT700 kit? Have a friend here in colorado who is considering this kit and wanted some hard numbers. Thanks.

 

Swift I'm sure someone could extrapolate their times from the drag strip. We know they run 10.7s @ 135-ish....

 

If one of the GT700 boys from the SECC drag day has a Pbox file of a 1/4 run I can get that data very easily... BTW, 0-60 will not be indicative of the GT700's general performance,but the drivers willingness to abuse the drivetrain. 0-100 is a better bet , but still dependent on launch. Kevin

 

kpg yeps that right.... any of the runs from any cars at the drag strip is pretty much like that. It's extremem conditions and how far one is willing to go But it will get you likely the best possible 0-60... The 700 turbos spool up very quickly though.

 

I agree. I feel 0-60 is not indicative of anything. It's a wasted measure of performance for fast cars.

Trap speed and 60-130 times rule.

 

Dammit.. who ever said I thought it was a "good" indicator of anything I was just replying But trap speed is all I need... that and the weight of the car.

 

Actually, I was just agreeing with Kevin. I didn't even see your post, Alex.

Sorry.

 

Unless you are a super drag specialist and can shift like a pro
and do not intend to run your boost like DMK (kaboom), here is what
I would expect:
about 11 flat at 133 to 134:
Joetwint (GT700/awd) : 10.88 @ 134
Chinotowest (awd) 10.88 @ 136
Cleve's GT2 !! 10.96 @ 133
Sunnys AWD 11.17 @ 133
if you average these you will get a 10.97 @ 134
This is a very real and likely result (and also an extremely fast car!)
Realistic expectations should be discussed in regards to the outcome
and how it is achieved.

It is a great kit.

60 to 130 should be around 6.4 seconds on a a average gt700.. that is pretty fast.

 

It's ok. I forgive you now

There's a good few other cars out there (over 150 total?) with the GT700 kit and quite a few more in the 10s...

 

It's a solid, proven kit that provides great performance. No doubt about that.

 

You are on fiiiiiyyyyyya today BUt yeps, honestly this is my fav EVO kit. Plain and simple....

 

Thanks for the input. Did i read correctly, over 150 cars with this kit? From the research i've done, it sounds like a great kit thats been proven time and time again. 60-130 in 6.4 is moving no question, though he races champ car, so fast is a relative term!

 

No worries. The strength of these kits is the initial bite, quick spool and low end. The lag is minimal for this type of power and the top end isn't too shabby either in the mid 130s. You read it right... I know we've done around 20-ish here in the bay area and then a few elsewhere (Canada, Poland etc...) and they're very driveable in terms of using the car daily. It's a complete kit in terms of the hardware so you get your power goodies, tuning and clutch etc..

 

Anything else he may need? Car is a 2003 Turbo S, it does have an upgraded champion suspension, but other than that, i believe its stock. The shop that will be doing the install is here in CO. They built my S4 and have at least one certified porsche tech on hand. Correct me if i'm wrong, but install looks rather straight forward.
