I would have posted sooner but we just got our power back a few hours ago.

Here's the GT2 on the dyno

Man, my car doesn't even make half of what the GT2 does

Oh well, it's still fun to drive.

Here are some pics as well

I have a few ideas on what my HP issues are. I hope to have them fixed and back on the dyno again soon. Lets just say when I bought that MAF a year ago while it was on sale it was for a reason!

 

Sorry I missed the fun, fellas. Weather problems (on Saturday both my in-laws and my mom were without power and I had a gig that night...)

Hey Ben - right now I'm leaning towards not making any changes. The S4 is a capable daily and the S2000 is still more fun than most cars out there. Certainly doesn't have the P-car cachet or the Z06 firepower but I still love it.

I'll probably revisit the new car possibility this spring. Cayman S is tempting to me but it wouldn't be *that* much faster than the S2000.

Since I'd likely keep the S2000 and replace the S4 as a daily the #1 candidate is 997S.

 

dude jeff don't kidd yourself... you've been leaning the entire time to this day. life is short. man up and just do it.

one of my top 2 fav car mags (evo) ranked the z06 #4 in '06 car of the year:

4. Chevrolet Corvette Z06:
"As Brits, or dare I say it, 'Europeans', we're accustomed to laughing in the face of American so-called drivers' cars. At least we were, until Ford sent a GT along to last year's eCoty, wherupon it kicked the world's best supercars in the goodies and ran back to Detroit with the silverware. Has the Corvette Z06 returned to rub salt into the wound? Perhaps. With 7 litres, 505bhp and the kind of detail engineering only found in the most serious homologation specials, it certainly has the wherewithal to slug it out at the pointy end of a dazzling eCoty gathering. If it were built by Porsche it would wear an RS badge and command twice the asking price. It really is that special...It's the raw animalistic power of the thing and the fantastic, short-throw gearshift that leave the deepest impression. The mighty V8 has murderous forth- and fifth-gear pulling power...The firmer springs and stickier rubber don't exact too severe a penalty on ride comfort but dial up truly stupendous grip, traction and stability on smooth tarmac. But switch off all the traction aids and there's oversteer. My God there's oversteer. A contender? Absolutely...It's good to have it here with the GT3 because the GT3's doing a similar thing - obviously more money and more quality in the detail. But as a hooligan's car, I can't think of anything better. It's like the ultimate, well-built TVR."

 

Let's just say... I've been a naughty boy. It seems all that Santa will be bringing me is a load in my pants and dismay to my competitors.

Wow your car did 250hp to the wheel?

That's as high as Josh's SC..

 

Yep, I am down about 40-50 HP. I have emailed IA a few times since to find out what is wrong. Now I have to change the MAF and check all my boost lines and add a boost guage. I was also told I should have had a blower going into the intake like you turbo guys do. It never will end will it?

Great numbers David

 

how big is the lip on the gold iforged wheels?

do u have issues with vibration in the rain?

the yellow 911 looks good

 

which yellow one.. the dirty yellow one

 

not feeling the 996 carrera with that widebody kit at all - looks like someone in their backyard put it together, no offense to the owner

i'm talking about what looks like a gt2?

 

WOW... guess you don't pay any attention to the RSR race cars.. Car was built by TRG (small race group in Cali).. not exactly a backyard





but to each thier own

and yes that is a GT2.. very fast & fun car!

 

Not backyard, maybe frontyard though.

 

Don't be fooled. That GT2 is actually a Fiero w/ $100K body kit.
No offense to the owner.

 

oh it's yours? just my luck

i'm just being real tho. if it's an actual RSR car that's one thing, but i'm guessing it's likely what a regular 996 carrera dressed up? your money your ride. i think i've seen your car on consignment at park place.

i like the fikses tho. i love their technipolish finish - there's no better center finish maker than the fikse technipolish bar none. used to own a set of FM10s.

 

The RSR is not made for the street .. this car was built to simialr specs by TRG whom builds and mantains a ton of them. So no expense was sapred by previous owner who built it (old friend of mine). Full carbon everything and all the real brackets and body extensions etc.. it's just not slapped on

I know some people don't like..but it is not "slapped" together..
