I'm confused. Why don't you just go to a drag strip like Silver Dollar Raceway or Atlanta Drag-way in Commerce, GA.?

 

nice

 

where my definition of "hack" is "not from Porsche factory". It isn't a bad thing. I work in the software industry and we do it all the time.

 

Instead of looking at it LIKE "everything to gain or lose"......look at it like two fellow Porsche enthusiasts going out and oogling each others cars!
After all we are all Porsche guys here,and to be quite honest......if I had a turbo I would be curious to what it would do against a supercharged car! I also like to see what other Porsche owners(including the ELITE turbo guys) are doing with their cars,BUT I am just a car junkie so maybe I need to look at this another way....
NOT like he is asking the guy to race a Moped.....or at least I hope you guys have a bit more respect for us LOW/budget dollar Porsches than that,LOL!
Heck,send one of those TPC turbo Caymans and see what Cattman could do against them......I am POSITIVE he would.
A Porsche is a Porsche and "We are all family"....

Better yet I need to get a life and KICK this car habit to the curb!
Anyone know of 'Car junkies anonymous club" I could join because I HAVE A PROBLEM!

Makes sense,I have to say I sort of took your first comment as a bad thing.....
Thank-you for clarifying!

In terms of a datalog, what do you recommend? I have the Durametric cable, and can log that kind of OBDII data, and I have a GTech which can log 0-60, 0-100, and 1/4 mile data. I've not used my GTech for that though, as I used it primarily to measure HP/TQ.

A visit to Commerce, GA sounds like an obvious path.

Hey Cattman, bring that car down to Florida, heck I will run anything! Like jusatoy said it's for fun and there is always somebody faster.

 

The issue I care about, and perhaps am alone in that, is my car vs a stock 997TT. That's all.

I am not challenging any individual, or TT owners in general, and I apologize if it came across that way.

All I want to do is see the 2 cars perform purely as a gearhead, not a swaggering pissing contest. Again, I want to be crystal clear that my intent is purely from a non-ego based intellectual curiosity.

All I want to know is how my car, with it's mods, would compete against a stock 997TT.

I have used GTech's in the past and they aren't that consistent. A PBox is much more consistent especially for 60-130 runs.

We used to go to Commerce Friday nights for test and tunes. On a good night we could get 7-8 runs for $25. Take a helmet, long pants, and a long sleeved shirt or you'll only run once.

 

All BS aside Cattman........go meet up with this guy and have him bring the lady in his avatar......LOL!



BUT be sure,at the start line,she IS facing the guy with the turbo....
And when the start gun goes off so does her shirt.......
You will WIN for sure!

I thought you said all BS aside.

 

It's a little pricey, but a few vendors here can help you with a pretty good discount. I recommend a performance box:

Quarter mile data from a GPS datalogger isn't as accurate as a NHRA certified track, typically, but you can get a really good idea of how your car runs against a lot of other fast cars and still save your clutch by doing 60-130 runs. It has kind of become the defacto gold standard...it requires some practice and technique. The obvious 0-as fast as you can go does not always yield the best 60-130...your shift points, number of shifts, etc will all affect your time. In fact, the data we look at also include altitude, temperature, slope of the the road, etc to make a fair comparison between cars.

You'll be able to get a pretty good idea how your car stack up against other vehicles in the same class...Z06, GT-R, 997TT to name a few. If you are able to take down a stock 997TT, I'd figure you to be in the 9 second.

 

9? what is stock 997.1 turbo? guessing 11
997.2 turbo w/ pdk maybe breaks into 10s ?

 

Are you talking 60-130 or 1/4 mile times? I think bbywu was talking 60-130.

 

1/4 mile
