Yes, totally as per street use. On my quickest pass I forgot to turn the air conditioning off. Now that's street stock!

 

No problem I can tell you exactly how much I weighed on the day which was 194 lbs.

That makes the Porsche ~3433 but includes 1/4 tank of fuel plus my clothes, helmet and a few pieces of paper. You could easily reduce weight in these barges if you're determined!

 

Maybe I can help with the accurate weight of a stock 2001 Australian spec TT, which should be 1:1 comparable with any other 2001 996 TT in the world (maybe the sme as all year model 996 TTs?)

+ My car weighed 3627 with me and all my gear in it and with about 1/4 tank
+ I weighed 194 lbs and let's say my clothes and other stuff was 13 lbs
+ So Porsche plus fuel ~3420 lbs

+ Now immediately after the event (I had 14 passes) I drove to the nearest pump about a mile or so down the road and tanked up. The receipt shows I put 47.39 litres of fuel into the car. The maximum tank capacity is ~64 litres, so I had ~16.61 litres in the car on the last pass

+ We know fuel is 0.64 kg per litre so the fuel weighed ~10.63 kgs which is ~23.4 lbs

+ So the car without fuel weighs ~3397 lbs or with a full tank ~3487 lbs

 

one liter of gas is .64kg

one liter of water is 1kg

Not trying to be smart ***, just trying to help.

 

MrBlonde, the 2001 TT was the lightest of the year models I do believe.

 

MrBlonde, can u post some pics of car. I am thinking of going with black stock wheels too on silver car.

 

Cool! Thanks dude, I was searching for that for ages this morning. I've edited my post above to reflect this fact.

 

good reaction times.... thats about right. ur mile per hour is constant. good to see someone post it up on a stock TT, unlike lots of braggers who say they get into 11's on a stock TT. I would like to see that. Im running k-24 hybrids with stage 4 ecu at my best was 11.5 at 123.7 mph.

I had them painted glossy black with red "turbo" script

 

Not much angle in the workshop, sorry

 

On the drag day

 

Rubberarma!

 

Hand warmers

 

Thanks, I wasn't concentrating on the lights but trying to get a good steady launch RPM. I worked up and down the rev range and settled on 4750 as the best launch RPMs with a fast clutch slip.

I would usually be unhappy with any RT over .100 but on that day I wasn't leaving on the edge.

I don't understand people who lie about their timeslips or their car setup in order to impress (?) someone they don't know on the internet. It takes a certain kind of mentality i guess.

 

i usually slip the clutch( i got a sachs w/ light weight flywheel)... but let go at only 2800 to 3000 rpms. I noticed that I would overrev if i would let go any higher. So about 50% of the time i was successful... but then i wouldnt hook all the time.
axle hops, bogging down, PSM, just got in the way.
next month Im getting my EVO8 from the race shop. I need a all day driver. except my friend is the tuner.. he worked for an new zealand rally team stationed in US.. so we are pulling out all the tricks... actually we are using anECU stand alone from australia called autronik. we should be doing 10.5s if not slightly better on race gas and radials.
If i choose to go to smaller race brakes, I can put on slicks and it should run high nines.
i decided to go with a cheap evo to beat up at the track( 600awhp) all for less then what i spent on mods alone on the TT.
