Holy Sh&*! This car is a BEAST!

I hope is ok that I posted this in th 996TT section. I know us Porsche guys, even more the 996TT guys like HP #'s and how they compare.

I was a little concerned when I did a baseline dyno stock as it was a little low. After picking it up today, they said its one of the strongest cars they have ever done and they have done a alot of 600's and 65's locally.

It only has the Renntech ECU, TCU and 100 Octane Flash.

It was dyno'd on a "Dyno Dynamics" which reads roughly 8-10% lower than dyno's such as "Dyno Jet" and about 5% lower than "Mustang Dynos".

The car put down 575RWHP and 801RWTQ

Now the owner of the shop said their conversion for their "Dyno Dynamics" dyno is 1.29, I would say to be conservitive around 1.25 to 1.26. He said to get "Dyno Jet" numbers from these, add roughly 30-50 RWHP & RWTQ and it would be compairable? So multiply these numbers by 1.29 roughly and thats the what's at the flywheel.

Estimated Flywheel HP is: 740 HP
Estimated Flywheel TQ is: 1033 TQ

Stock the car made 453RWHP and 592RWTQ on the same dyno, same day.

So I picked up 122RWHP and 209RWTQ with just an ECU/TCU upgrade!

The car is insane! Its spins the tires in the 1st 3 gears at any speed You can be doing 50mph and stomp on it and you will get instant wheel spin. I have never truly experienced this much Torque, it makes your head hurt!

Now for comparision, my Protomotive 996TT put down the following #'s on the same Dyno back in December with 100 octane fuel and high boost setting: 479AWHP and 540AWTQ

Now, my Protomotive 996TT dyno'd on EVOMS Mustang Dyno in March put down: 531AWHP and 525AWTQ. On the same day, my Kleemann K1 SL55 put down 448RWHP and 540RWTQ. I thought this would be good for comparision sake.

I would like to race my 996TT against the CL65 just to see which is faster. The 996TT has a ton less weight, but the Torque of the CL65 is brutal! I think it would be a close race, maybe giving the win to the 996TT but not by much?

The car is awsome! I am really enjoying it and will be putting a Renntech Lowering module on tomorrow.

 

 

Those are some crazy numbers! The MB is truly a beast. Pics of the CL65???

 

I love the 65's. As prices on SL65's come down it is very tempting to pick one up. Thanks for sharing - it is a BEAST!

 

Don't they also have an airbox that is supposed to add more hp ? That is just insane. You have to wonder what kind've rubber you need to keep this beast from going sideways on the blip of the throttle.

 

+1 that is pure nuts!!!!!!


There is a guy I know that has one of these and I told him he could race my TT, he scoffed at me, I told him if he won that one then he could race my vette, he scoffed again, I then told him he doesnt know who he's dealing with (my vette is 775/775 on 12lbs, may go to 18 if I dont sell).

 

Wow!!!
Got to love those big motors!

Dave, are you sure you got enough HP? Congrats bud.

 

I volunteer to drive the CL for you since I have a lightly modded and much slower (0 to 60 in 4.0) CL55.

(I just need a little bit more motivation to get a 65.)

 

TT got it from a dig!!

A roll on pretty close

 

I demand some vids of this thing!!

 

Gotta love all that torque. Amazing!

 

Now take it too the track...if it gets grip it will be OUT!

 

Damn thats pretty sick right there!
