It's stock.









J/k It's a 9ff GT2 w/ about 1000hp. Dubbed the TR-1000, the vehicle is equipped with Porsche's standard 3.6-liter flat-6, albeit with a bunch of upgrades that bring output all the way to 1,000 horsepower and 767 pound-feet of torque. Engine modifications include larger turbochargers, an improved intercooler, sport-profile camshafts, titanium connecting rods, a forged crankshaft, a sport air filter, a reconfigured ECU and a high-performance exhaust system. A high-end braking system and an adjustable sport suspension with aluminum dampers are also part of the tune.

Can't compare a 9FF to a stock 458. The 458 would need a one mile head start in a 1.25 mile race.

I am trying very hard to line up a three way race:

1- F458 Italia
2- Stock 997.2 TT PDK
3- My own 997.TT PDK

If it happens, I will post the vid!

Unfortunately, the owner of the 458 backed out.

I had met the owner on a traffic light. He was in a stock 997.1TT and I was in my 997.2 (which had Softronic tune and BMC filter at the time).

I gave him the jump and punched hard after him. Overtook him something silly.

We stopped by the side of the road to talk and he suggested we try a run with his 458 from a standing start.

We exchanged contact info. I called him after a few days and he balked. I think he ran against his friend driving his 997.1 and figured he didn't want to try his luck against my car...
