Evo GT700 vs. CGT!!
#47
oh yeah not even a question... no matter how much faster that 996 will/may get... i couldn't care less.... i'd still pass it over for a bone stock CGT.. w/o hesitation, never look back etc
never thought i'd say this but in this case... a 996 turbo is a 996 turbo.
won't sound like a CGT. won't feel like a CGT. won't look like a CGT. CGT is more than hp/tq figures. holism.

Paul - no, mine is a stock car, very nice for daily driving if I am not carrying passengers. The interior of the car alone is worth the price IMO.
but everytime i see one of these things pop up, i get that ticklish feeling and the temptation rises....

Like Ben says, the CGT increases downforce significantly as the speeds go up. If you guys had come up to a corner the CGT would blow past you so fast you would think you were standing still. A couple months ago we did similar runs to about 170MPH and my stock GT3 ended up about 10 car lengths behind.
So why don't you run against me instead in part 2 ... a GT3 with a stock motor.
Running modded against stock CGT just ain't fair.

While running modded over a stock CGT some call unfair, I find it to be an excellent 'real world' barometer to test whether your mods are worth it. I mean at the end of the day with all the mods you wanna know what you can 'take' or 'not take' am I right?
One last question for you Paul, the 2nd run where the EVO just rockets passed the CGT, did the CGT just shut down or did the EVO really shoot past it some 3-4 car lengths? If the latter then that's crazy!!!

There is no doubt in my mind that a modded 996tt @ 700 rwhp and above will blow by a stock CGT. A 996tt with a racing type suspension, wheels and tires will do the same on the track. A stock CGT doesn't really have anything over a GT3R or R/S type set up.
The key word is stock CGT. With alot money their is no doubt the CGT can be made better. Looking at it another way, it takes alot of money to bring a 996tt to the stock CGT level.
This is not a flame on a CGT. I love the car and will be modding one by the end of this year.

on top of that, none of the "big hitters" (at least those whose cars were reliable enough to actually finish all the tests) in the latest TT shootout (including packages well above the EVO being discussed here) managed to best the CGT's 1/4 mile time. it would be a good idea to keep these hopped up turbos away from the CGT in it's venue (ie: the track) cause a very healthy dose of embarassment would be bestowed upon them. further with all the problems we hear about (your's included) like buddy's, fred's, etc, i think it probably a good idea not to run these hopped up turbos against the stock CGT for very long.
