Sounds more like a jet engine to me!

Hi
With my 3.6 996, with Revo Chip, Supersprint Exhaust System, and Fab Speed Air Intake, I embarrasses a 997 Carrera 2S - so I'm on 4.7-4.8. Regards Big Bob

RE: 0-60 Times?
 

I've seen completely stock 997 Carrera S models do 0-60 in 4.3-4.4(by radar gun) at the track. There is essentially no difference between them and a stock '08 vette, the 'vette has more torque but it spins its wheel a lot more.

So you're 996 is doing better than 4.8, which I think is pretty close to stock for a 6-speed version of the final model.

Thanks Lee
I suspect that I will never get the best time, so it might be better than I quote, sayin the hands of a single minded person. Having rebuilt and nursed many nice cars over the years, I find I do not have the killer instinct to extract the maximum out of the engine, clutch, transmission , and chassis. It always sounds like mechanical butchery to me I'm afraid!
All I know is the 997 2S Driver looked a bit sick![:'(]
I've buddy of mine who is a paraplegic, who drives a Bentley Continental GT with "hand controls" which has just been changed to the GTC. Last year after Le Manswe had an interesting drag out with a Ferrari 430, again the Ferrari driver was not too happy
Best Regards Big Bob

Optimizing your launch has a lot to do with the driver. I've noticed my time go down over the years.
