Allan didn't you say that in your estimation the change to the engines from the 04-05's to the 06's was quite a bit more than the 20 hp claim, but closer to 30-40 hp. That could easily explain how a 997 TT might walk a 04-05 but quite a different story with an 06.

Also, are you getting the fabspeed intake & hi flow cats. That might even help you a little bit more.

 

Allan...is your Gallardo a manual or automatic?
That's too bad for me

 

Its a 6speed. Nice run Allan, would love to see runs during the daytime

 

Here is some 0-160 data from EVO magazine August 2006 page 101+109

CGT 997TT Gallardo
0-30 1.6 1.4 1.8
0-40 2.2 1.9 2.5
0-50 3.2 3.3 3.5
0-60 3.8 4.0 4.3
0-70 4.5 4.9 5.3
0-80 5.3 6.2 6.9
0-90 6.3 7.4 8.1
0-100 7.6 8.7 9.4
0-110 8.8 10.7 11.3
0-120 10.7 12.4 13.1
0-130 12.3 15.6 15.1
0-150 17.3 21.2 20.9
0-160 20.2 27.5 24.2

Sorry, but no luck finding Z06 0-160 numbers, but I think this shows the Gallardo may lose off the line but reels in the 997TT with a vengeance once it gets going. BTW, a 3.2 sec advantage in the 0-160 is a city block long. I'll admit I was surprised at how fast the Gallardo is.. Kevin

 

I just heard alot of noise,, Couldn't see much because it was dark outside.

 

exactly....i was just about to mention the same thing

 

No need for fabspeed.

From what weve seen, the 06 G produces more like 50 crank hp over an 04/05.

 

I cant help this, but thats prob the WORST test of a 997TT i have seen. some tests have it running 7.8 0-100 which is about a second faster, and most tests have it are around 18.5 sec to 150 so i dont know where 27.5 0-160 is coming from.

this is for the tip

Zero to 60 mph: 3.4 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 7.8 sec
Zero to 150 mph: 18.7 sec
Street start, 5-60 mph: 4.4 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 11.6 sec @ 122 mph

NO WAY IN HELL its taking 27.5 to go to 160. i dont know of manual numbers but i feel that top end the manual will be even faster than this.

 

Wow, that's a huge difference. Would you think it will lower the market value of 04/05 cars since they're less desireable now....?

 

> The Mercedes guys are funnier even still. They insist I will get destroyed by an S65 or Sl65(bone stock).

You will I have a timeslip from my bone stock SL65 running 11.7 @ 126; Schniz has an 11.6 @ 123 from his. Produce a faster timeslip from a bone stock Gallardo, and we'll stop making the claim.

 

Dont get mad at me..the numbers are all over the place. Todd at EVO has his car doing 0-100 in the 9 sec range stock. Kevin

 

Here are Todd at EVO's numbers:

EVO 997TT 545 HP / 590 TQ
Best, Average
0-60: 3.2, 3.3
0-100: 7.2, 7.4
1/4 mile: 11.30 @ 126, 11.40 @125

EVO 997TT Stage 1
Best, Average
0-60: 3.4, 3.6
0-100: 8.9, 8.9
1/4 mile: 11.94 @ 121, 11.97 @ 120

STOCK 997TT
Best, Average<O =""></O>
0-60: 3.8, 3.9
0-100: 9.7, 9.8
1/4 mile: 12.27 @ 117, 12.35 @ 116

 

I respect EVO, but those numbers are terrible. The only useful information you can pull from this is the relative quickness between stock and modified... not even close the the cars fullest potential.

 

I dont care what you ran in the 1/4, ive driven an Sl65 and from a roll on, it will not beat my G.

 

Those are ****ty numbers for the Gallardo also. Motor Trend or Car and driver got 3.8 to 60mph from a Spider which is almost 400lbs heavier.
