Carrera GT
Are there any modifications to the Carrere GT yet? The koenigsegg went from 655 hp to 805hp recently in the CCR version
The Saleen went to 750hp with turbos, the enzo has a limited edition that will be 800 hp although at $1.5mm euro or something like that.
what can be done to the GT to get this type of HP? If you look at Koenigsegg 1/4 mile or the Road & Track with the Saleen, you realize that these cars are in anoth stratosphere due to carbon frame, lighter weight than the 996 or 997. you can never get the type of performance that you may get out of a 805 hp GT.
even against the RUf in R&T, the saleen anniliates it in the important categories like 0-150 or 100-150. these stats are good because they eliminate error off the line; 100-150 is the best
any thoughts?

I believe FVD is the only tuner to do performance programing on the CGT thus far... We are getting 650HP out of them just with ECU tuning... We will most likely not be going any further than that though... We also have a BMC filter for it so maybe 655 
The cool thing though is the exhaust is controled by the ECU so we can make it louder just by tuning the ECU

Gemballa has a twin turbo unit running around with a 1,000 hp, seriously upgraded interior (electronic gauges), but the price is like a million $.
Saleen, put some crazy hp/performance into their car, but it also got a serious increase in price. I'm not sure I would spend $555,000 on a aftermarket performance car/non-car manufacturer.

Are you sure Gemballa actually made that car?? Last I heard they were just planning it and that photo was a photoshop....
Can't necessarily disagree with the driving school comment, but hey everyone wants more power. As for warranty, its just like doing mods to any other car, if the mod causes a problem, you might have a problem, but this tune is VERY conservative, we actually got 675-680 out of the car, but decided to settle it at 650 for the sake of reliablility and driveability!

I think I would want Porsche engineers on my side of any discussion about their product.
Mod at your own risk... ignorance is bliss!

How much? When I finally get one I want at least 700 hp so you better get to work on that other 50hp!

We have 4 CGT's that we have perfromed this upgrade to and yes they are out driving . I believe we have done one here in the US, I know I saw the order in the system one day, don't know if it has been completed yet....
ZLP: I spoke with the head programer in Germany and he said you would not believe how much Porsche limited the engine. Said there was a lot of power to be had, but I guess they had an idea that this car would be too powerful for people as it was so they limited it. Like I said, our tune is still very mild compared to the amount that can easily be had just for extra safety/reliablity conerns...
Buddy: A lot. $9,995. 700HP is no problem, but we can't gaurentee reliability/driveability at that point....
