I was headed for some tight twisties on Saturday and a 944 got on ahead of me on the straight that was at the start. To my suprise he hammered it. I reeled him in a lot faster than I thought I could and we hit the twisties with me on his tail. No matter what he tried I was on him and he could not pull away as I was breaking later and on the power sooner. For the most part I wasn't even shifting, the broad torque band was all I needed. What I did not expect was that I was doing this and still keeping to the break in rules, no wot, no rpms over 4k, and no overboost. I can't wait for the breakin mileage to be over. Amazing car.

 

Can't wait to hear what the car is like after the break in period is over....

 

You're suprised you kept up with a 20 year old car?

 

seriously, i was a bit confused, oh well. I guess congrats?

 

Great kill story.

 

Me too, I mean he's only got an extra 300 hp on the guy.

 

lol

 

Aww Kamon. It was my little kill story. I'm not ready for big fish yet, I hardly know the car. The suprise was that the 944 was going for all its worth, and I kept up with him without making an effort.

 

At first I was worried that the 944 beat you. They do handle pretty well for a 20 yr old car. That is a testament to the 997TT though, you can win a race without breaking 4000 RPMS; that great torque band helps

 

In a related story, Mussel kar took a lolly pop from a little girl today and was shocked at how little resistance the 30lb child put up.

 

hahahahaha

 

just go home and park the car until that 944 comes back and you will never lose

 

 

Not true. It was really stuck to her hand and her dog bit my ankle.




997TT vs 944 Replies to post as expected.

 

*laughing* I haven't seen a feeding frenzy like this since I posted that I beat an M3 in my 4-door S600... on a BMW board.

Good for you for staying within the break-in limits, however!
