These cars arent torque monsters, just like the base 911 Carrera C2's and so on. Right now i should be at about 400 crank or even a little under, maybe higher i dont know, just a ballpark estimate. But its all about the gearing and when the boost comes on in my car, its so damm linear, it pulls like a freight train 3rd, 4th and if you can even get into 5th LOL, 4th last to about 145! I race my friends 558 RWHP supra who's actually buying my car, and have no problem pulling at the end of 3rd because the gear is so long, then when i shift i have instant power still going, so the time it takes for the turbo to spool and boost to relaly hit i had the advantage of pulling already, and he cant make up that distance, exactly what happens with the 996tt, but thats stock dammit haha!!
Anyway i basically want the sickest sounding/performance exhaust you can get. Cats do not matter to me, i have 2 cars G35+my SC M3 non have cats, resonators just straight exhaust all the way back! Also what exactly is done to your car, power package wise? Because it seems like it is really hard to even get low 11's high 10's with even a stage 4, meanwhile im hearing you can pull 11's stock hmm
Also what suspension setup do you have, coilovers/sways/strut?
Thanks again

Well my car is a tip.. so it's easier to drag race
I have the GT800 with some extras I pulled an 11 with just a chip and exhaust so that was that... The loudest and most powerful exhaust has to be the Fabspeed then...

And damm you have the GT800, well we'll see. It might be the same thing all over again, had the G35, got the M3 than people see it 4 months later not even and damm its a racecar LOL, can't wait to get this man. I was talking to an older buddy of mine, he has a 993 C2 and is doing a GT2 TT motor conversion.. I would LOVE to get a GT2 and he said i might not like the 996tt or 993tt because im so use to insane power and RWD together, like because i dont find mine thrilling anymore. I guess what it all comes down to is driving both, but i wonder if he's right!
Thanks again!Martin
