Once again, I would start small...say 36DD

We will be scrutinized so bad with an AUTO trans.. It will put the car in the 8s but then it still wont be even close to the SUPRAS and VIPERS anyway.. We need to work with what we have in 6spd.. I know 100% the missing link in the entire equation of these cars.. They have HP already, they have the Tilton Carbon, they now just need THE PROPER H Pattern Trans to be built by the right company.. I have already had lengthy discussions with who i have in mind..

Mike,
What is the issue the standard H pattern? Is it that gear ratios too tall for the quarter?
Another thing i don't understand is why lots of big power 996 turbos run in RWD? I noticed the Switzer Sledgehammer ran in AWD when it went 9.7sec and the TT Gallardo guys think its their best feature. Does the 996 front diff not deal with the extra torque adequately? I imagine having to run in RWD is harming the progression of quick E.T's after all GTR's in Japan were running low 9sec quarters and 13sec 0-300kmh times on nitto street tyres through H pattern boxes more that a decade ago.

I hear at 700rwhp the AWD system starts to break. The Gallardo must have a much stronger AWD system to allow them to run 1300rwhp.

Do you really think 36DD is big enough? Well, I can decide that later once Mr.MD accept his own challange. I'm in.

Implants, in my humble opinion, are not worth the saline solution with which they are filled. Give me natural every time....
I digress. Let's talk cars and street smack here. It's not always more power that wins contests - it's who can make best use of the power and who can out drive the other guy. When are the brave souls going to put up to find out? <taps feet>

There is a thread over at the infamous TCStangs.com whereby the diminutive owner of an Orange/Black Striped Z28 of the 80's vintage has fitted his car with a new turbo system and a healthy small block Chevy. He does nice work. In fact, his car was featured in the February issue of Car Craft. Then it had twin t-70s, now a single of larger size.
Tonight they got it running and posted a short video of the car sitting and running. I decided to wet a line and I asked, "Will this car/driver race 6 cylinder cars?"
The Bravado was strong with this one as the response came back, "in all honesty, no nutswinging, there's no chance any 6 cylinder should be able to have a prayer against this car. Unless the pumpkin blows up" The car is affectionately referred to as "the pumpkin" due to the hue...
His sig states 9.33@147

So why is it that so many big power 996 turbos run in RWD, particularly at the strip?
Still curious to know what the issue with the standard 6speed is?
Like i said before i don't understand why these big power turbos are not running as fast as(previous gen) GTR's. The power is there, the weight doesn't seem to be too diffrent and i would think the rear weights bias of the 911 would help with traction off the line.
On the topic of auto's while it would help with ET's it sort of seems to go against the ethos of a 911. In this video it just seems weird to see a GTR with a slusher http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq48VWJF6ck&feature=fvw
Sorry to keep bringing up GTR's, i like porsches honest, im just trying to understand.

If the 996tt had come out with pdk in it's day it would have easily been as fast as a GTR stock. probably faster. I met a GTR owner this weekend. Seems like everyone I meet who is not a fanboy says the same thing. "it's a fast car, but it has it's issues. one being quality and the owner has the new launch control which goes at 2500 rpm instead of 4200 rpm. He did one launch and the trans now does not feel like it use to, it shifts slower and is generally more sluggish and clunky. He also said that at the track it was fast for one or two laps then when everything got hot it started to slow down big time. Again, the difference in quality between a 996tt that sold new for 130+k versus a GTR at 75k (with it's 22k tranny) is quite obvious.
