SRT4 vs. Porsche 996TT

[r.j-lo]

Cruising around on Saturday trying to get to Pepboys for some oil and saw a nice looking Porsche hauling ass onto the freeway. I decided to give a little chase and play a little, but with the amount of traffic, it was hard to really do anything major. As the car pulls along side me I see its a local member of our forums and I know his reputation and decide that I needed to make a move . We both missed our turnoffs cause we were messing around, so we exited the freeway and headed back the opposite direction on the frontage road, with you guessed it......straight open road.
We line them up and went at it from about a 40 roll. Admittedly, we were pretty close, but in every gear I was inching him until the top of 4th when we shut down and I had a full car lead!
Unfortunaltey, we only got to run that one time, but we talked and agreed it was a clean run. I have to admit I am pretty stoked about this one. Best part is that I am on my street tune (22psi on 91 octane)!!! Ive still got 8psi more boost to go

that is all......

nice race, gotta say it would be pretty interesting to watch an srt-4 run against a porsche, its like 20grand versus 200grand

That can't be right can it?? I don't fell like searching, too late and too tired but aren't they more a round the 500 mark, maybe even in the 400 range.


Edit : Did a search anyway, kinda hard to sleep when these things are on my mind. Went for the easy way out, not to good with all these Porsche numbered cars(911, 933, 966, 996, GT2, GT3, I have no idea about the differences) so I just searched Porsche's top car, the Carrera GT.

Engine

Type: V10
Displacement cu in (cc): 350 (5733)
Power bhp (kW) at RPM: 605(450) / 8000
Torque lb-ft (Nm) at RPM: 437(590) / 5750
Redline at RPM: 8400

Okay, yeah that sounds right, like I said I dont know much about the Porsches but I know a stage 2 GT2 is around 500 HP, so i kinda thought the 996 TT would be like mid 400, guess not.

I stand corrected...


I will now exit with my tail between my legs.


Nice kill

[youngvr4]

paper racing is neccessary to a certain degree

on paper, a Z06 is faster than a vr4

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL



The new 997 GT3 is sex... 415hp from a N/A flat 6. Damn, thats fast.

[Mad_Maxima]

415 from an N/A 6, wholly shit, the possibilities once you force induce, gotttt dayummmmm!!!!! 80 % of the 8 cylinders dont even make that much.

Hell, some V/I 6 TT's dont even make that much, damn European engineers sure know how to make use of their cc's.

TT=twin turbo
The car makes that 415 with both its turbos working.

I dont have a prob with paper racing, but it only works when the right car is being quoted. Other than that, paper race on!!
