Nevermind I got it now. It was stock until it beat the RS. I knew the RS were fast but not THAT fast.

Not S "regular" Turbo, I still cant believe that RS is so damned fast, even though both cars are pretty similar in the 1/4 mile and 0-60, rolling shouldnt be that much different.
Anyways, Downpipes, BMC and some kind of tune and these things get to be "more enjoyable".
I just raced a ZL1 this afternoon and our beasts are, well, beasts.

Yes last run was PTmodded, gt3rs and stock PT
The RS is faster than stock 911 turbo. I have raced 3 different cars. The result might be the same in different part of the world ( fuel, temp, pressure etc )

No problem. I was actually in Scottsdale over the weekend. Too bad I didn't see the thread until the night before I drove back to Texas in the Panamera as I would have let you drive it.

I did IPD Plennum and GIAC software. The Plennum was done first and improved performance "on boost" but added a bit of lag around town, takes just a brief second to pack in the extra air, but once in car works better on all fronts.
I then added GIAC software and it is the best mod you can make for the money. Nothing else will have the same performance impact as this. The car has improved tip in, less lag, more on boost power at all RPM levels. And "on boost" the car is just that much faster with added hp and torque across the power band.
I have modded a lot of Porsche's over the years and have found GIAC to be very reliable and great to work with. I would not do any tune that was not a full software upgrade. GIAC also provides the controller allowing you to convert back to stock in minutes should you wish to do so for a visit to the dealer.
Exhaust will add to things a bit, but unless you really need the sound it is an expensive mod for the performance gains you receive in return. There are many good options out there, but don't underestimate the time and money that went into Porsche's engineering of the exhaust system.
Good luck with your search - you won't be disappointed with the addition of some upgrades, they really do add to the fun of the car and make it that much faster!
