Black Monday: 2010 997TT & Panamera TT Arrive @ SharkWerks
It was Black Friday last week with the GT3s and so it seems the black theme continued today
We've got a pair of black on black 2010 twin turbo cars (one a 997.2TT and the other the PanameraTT) to work on this week....
In comes the 2010 997TT:
The factory wheels are somewhat nicer than the Mk1 factory wheels.
The steering wheel and paddles are brilliant and so much better than the standard PDK wheel...
But on to more important matters:
Reading out the new 2010 ECU...
Already hard at work deciphering the new 997TT ECU
Early days yet but my first impressions are that the car is considerably quicker than the 997.1TT out of the box. With the gearing and blazing quick shifts in PDK form it really goes hard from down low. The suspension is more predictable. She looks a lot like the outgoing 997.1TT from the outside. Other than the front LEDs, the larger rear tail pipes (and LEDs) and bigger side mirrors are the giveaways.
As far as the Panamera goes it actually uses a different ECU and it's stashed away and harder to get to than the Cayenne:
James hard at work getting the PanameraTT ECU...
I have to say she goes like a bat out of hell even in stock form Fred will be happy
More on these projects soon I promise:P

Sharky,
Great looking TT's there and I have to say, I REALLY like the 997TT.2 wheels. The Panemera belongs to Fred? If this car is going anything like any of his other cars, this thing should be called "The Black Mamba"!!!! Because it's gonna be NASTY!!!! and by nasty I mean it in a good way

That's a regular black
Fred's car correct
And thanks!
I agree it hides a bit of the fat
A few more updates today.... as we're starting to look at the some of the maps:
Creating "real" a dual-chip solution. That means two independent, full and switchable maps. This isn't a single file with a unit that "forces" certain ignition map.
Also James and Todd testing the "real" dual-chip solution (for 91 octane vs higher):
Not sure what to drive home tonight

If there were a Sharkwerks nearby my house/office here in PA i would stop by there DAILY to see what was going on. So cool.
you guys should do a live web cam or something so all of us can see whats in the shop and whats going on. that would be dope!
