Isn't the top speed in a 996 is gear limited, not HP or drag limited? A supercharger doesn't get you going any faster. Anything that has better gearing should be about the same speed as you. Basically anything has a 170MPH top speed.

If you meant what cars would be similar in acceleration - there are lots of cars that are low-sub 5 seconds to 60 nowadays. Quartermile probably separates men from the boys now.

As for the track, I don't think HP (alone) is enough to group similar cars.

yes I meant acceleration similarity. I know the 996 is supposed to be around 4.9 seconds 0-60mph stock so if you added a supercharger I was trying to find out what car would be similiar.

Probably the C6 Vettes (non-Z06), 997S, and the new M3.

Of those cars you mentioned, he will only see the taillights of the Z06 with a properly installed centrifuge SC on his 99 C2.
