And he did use his "conservative" tune that race. He was making 615 rwhp...when has the ability to make 685 rwhp.

Doesn't work on the tt. ECU shuts down the throttle when you hit the brake -- try it.

Hm... what do you mean with "shuts down"? In heel toe downshifting you are on the brake and accelerator at the same time. Just confused...

The issue here is throttle blip (or application in any form) with the clutch engaged. In this case the ECU pulls power and you have no no control with the throttle as long as you're braking.

Basically what rd was trying to explain was, you cannot hold the brakes down to the floor and give it gas like you would in a rwd/fwd car to do a burnout you understand? Its awd so engaging in first then suddenly stomping the brake and giving it gas the ecu shuts off throttle and then you can stall, you won't stand still with your rpm's around 3k or higher.. What most people do in the 996tt's to launch or brake boost is to use the hand brake and throttle to keep the boost up, sharky does it in his tip

1)It doesn't tkae "holding the braked down to the floor", it just tkaes light pedal pressure.
2) It isn't just an AWD issue. All E-gas 996's do the same thing.

'98 (last year) in Quicksilver FX. 1 of 9 autos in the US in that color. Made 620 rwhp..no NOS. 711 with NOS. Stock internals. Very fast, but very squirrely if you're not ready...even with running drag radials all the time. Fun car...but I find myself grabbing the keys to the TT almost all of time....so I decided to sell the Supra.
I have a deposit on it now. Once it's sold...I'm doing some "upgrades" to the TT.

So your telling me a GT2 cant? Yes it can lol! And light pedal pressure would still allow the car to move forward, you couldnt keep the car standing still unless brake was down a good amount right?

You need to brake boost especially against S/Ced cars.
I don't know about the GT2...maybe you can in that car. But it wasn't the topic of this discussion. It could be PSM related, which of course the GT2 doesn't have. My comment could have been more specific, but all 996 and 996 Turbos (with PSM at least) are alike...no throttle application with the clutch engaged and the brake applied...even a little bit.

I replied right after that post that in a 996 Turbo this isn't possible...and it's not.

Here's what I can suggest. Go out in your Turbo (PSM "on" or "off") and at a steady state speed...foot locked on the throttle...ease in on the brake with your left foot. Tell me what happens.
Let me know...
