just a little update - the Porsche Driving Experience instructors from Barber were in Houston yesterday, and put on a 1 day track event at MSR Houston. My wife and I did about 2-3 hours of continuous hot lapping - car got maybe 5-10 minutes cooldown time every half hour or so. Temps were mid 80's and car performed perfectly without any signs of heat soaking, or elevated temps - oil temps were perhaps 210 at the most. Many people were inquiring about the wicked exhaust note under WOT - "Hey, did you do something to that car?"

 

Regardless that a pretty good trap and traps don't lie. Alot of people get all wrapped up with the e.t, but IMO the trap speed says it all. To many variables in a e.t.. tires, air pressure , launch technique ..ect.

 

Did you guys tested this kit with Tip S already or not ??? Will Tip S be able to coupe with this power ???

 

It looks like we found a car on the West Coast that is going to get the kit then be sent to G.I.A.C. for test and tune.

 

Mike...You know what I found out...that 997 TT Techart that does 10.8 with 630 package is a Tiptronic...so 700 HP 997 TT Tiptrinic should be able to hit 10.5...

When is your tiptronic set up will be ready ??? Our friend has found tips for ME and he want to do this ungrade but I told them that its ready yet...

 

Jean,

I don't have time to read this whole thread, but I notice that you ran a 6.99 60-130. I take that that was with the 700 package, yes?

nice!

 

Thanks Sean, yes 700 kit and that one was on the concrete feeder of the beltway just as the cops nailed me. I'm hoping to do better at Lonestar

 

Ouch! I have an appointment w/ the local man in the black robe myself....definitely should confine it to the track.

 

Good news guys...plan to make my car AWE as well...Hope Tiptronic kit will be ready by the end of the months...My car will be shipped from NY...I heard Philadelphia is near NY...so my car will be shipped directly to AWE headquaters to get the best job done !!!

Found the car, paid deposit fot it...2007. 2.3k miles Has chip (hope is Giac), Tubi, Champion wheels and lowered to Euro race specs...



Mike are you guys ready to do my car soon ??? Hope to run mid 10s with this set up...if techart 630HP car runns 10.88...

 

Yep - although of course air temp plays a big factor with these cars.

The trap speed seems right on - my 997 runs 128-129 MPH in the 1/4 in low 70s Fahrenheit, and it's currently missing a few parts compared to yours (i.e. stock intercoolers, stock intake). I look forward to hearing more of your adventures

 

Looking forward to seeing the development.

 

i wish i can see a street or drag race between awe700 and evt700

 

+1

But I doubt that it will ever happen...

Why not? I'm game - anyone in the Bay Area with another '700' car up for a sanctioned drag race up at Sacramento Dragstrip. We could have a "battle of the tuner cars" meet, even!

 

the best chance is if one of the EVO 700 cars from the Puebla/Autodynamica group comes out to Lonestar one day
