Supercharged AMV8 vs Porsche 996tt(video)

I got a chance to run my old 996tt. It is the old Stage 4 with GT1 turbos at 1.2 bar, exhaust, lightweight flywheel, boost hoses etc. It has BBS wheels and PSS9 suspension. It has done 11.9 at 126 in the quarter. Yesterday was hot (85 deg) and the 2 cars were adjusted to be about equal in weight. I'm running the supercharger at 9psi on the Vantage. We ran 45-175mph. He got the jump, I could not hear his horn.

The Porsche used to be the fastest car I had ever owned

Holy crap! I would never have guessed at SC'd AM V8V could be a stage 4 996TT. Amazing! I'm speechless as my old 996TT was modded too and it was scary fast.

When you say adjusted, do you mean adding a passanger to the 996TT?
