Had a small race with a Subaru STi... After all, a base 997 isn't that base...
Check it out!

mmm interesting...yeah definetely the C2 is not just a Base Carrera
Awesome car
Oh and Welcome!!

 

Why are these races always in the dark? So hard to see.

 

Its easier to crash into **** at night.

Honestly I don't know. I like to go fast early in the morning when I can see everything.

 

I had a STI the new one.......with exhaust and airfilter
I tell you that a ST with a few PSI more....and from 0 to 60 a CarreraS has NO CHANCE!!!

 

What mods were on the Subaru? Are you sure that was an STi (no offense)?

Well done

 

Couldn't see much but very nice!!

 

The top Evos standard are generally quicker round a track than a 911 (997) C2S standard as well. Not by alot. Top Scoobies and EVOs are for the money phenominally fast, fun to drive etc. Shame they have to be quite so ugly...

Never lusted after one like I have for a Porsche

 

Thanks Pilone for your welcome!

 

Biggg offense :P . Mods includes exhaust system, ecu.. and Turbo high bar level... That's all I guess

 

I agree that the standard C2 is going very well. I was last week at Nürnburging, and when driving the long straight at the Grand Prix track, I managed to pull away from a C4S with powerkit!!!

That was funny :-)

 

I know that the top end of a stock STI and evo are crap, M3's will smoke them top end. Does the mods you mention open them up alot?

 

I have a 330 awhp Evo 9 MR and its faster than a Carrera S - considerably so from a dead stop through a few gears. Its much closer from a roll of any sort and runs from 60mph. It has a full exhaust w/ HFC and vishnu tune - nothing crazy at all - stock filter, intake, very stealth under the hood. Ugly? Hell yes, the wife wont ride in it. But its a drivers car, nothing more, nothing less.

Stock they are terrible on the higher end, boost tapers off big time. A good tune fixes that and boost is held nicely through redline. Almost a 100hp gain from a tune and exhaust cures the top end woes.
