Down the road, when tuners start building their motors and trannys and running big-boost, they will definitely be in the hunt.

When they start getting built motors and built PDK trannys, they will be. Unfortunately, they don't come with the bulletproof Metzger 3.6L that's used in the 996 and 997.1 TTs and GT cars. They have a new 3.8L DFI engine instead, that's rumored to be much less able to deal with high hp. The max power we are seeing so far in the 550whp range. One has run 7.24 60-130 with exhaust, 5" intercoolers, BMC filter and tune.

The rider of the 'busa (Johnvon) claims he had issues with his fuel pump and nitrous the night he raced Peter's car in the video. I can't confim or deny the validity of this, but I was told that he raced another one of the TTGs with the same power as Peter's car 2 nights later and only lost by a car length. This story seems likely as a 317rwhp 'busa will trap over 170 mph and should be a very good race for a monster TTG making 1500 whp up to 170 or so.
Here's his post from supraforums:

The bike was running 10.2 @ 138mph at the track so I knew something wasn't right...

Porsche put pressure on Getrag to finish PDK transmissions. End result is the PDK does not hold over 600 flywheel hp. At least not for now.
It may be that someone such as Whiteknight comes out with a reinforcement package for PDK.
On the other side, 6 speed manual transmissions should cope with the added power, where the 3,8L engine has to endure the extra loads.
Lets see how 6 speed manual 3,8L 997.2 TTs hold up. They should be fine with reinforced internals.

A "good source from Germany" told me that the PDK's development was not finished 100%. Getrag did not want to supply PDK for Porsche as its tests were not perfect and not finished.

PS. Pretty much all UR customers belong to national forums. If something didn't come direct from a customer, you never know what's "rumored".

There's no doubting the amazing performance of the UGR TTG's on the street. But from a numbers standpoint, has anyone with a TTG dyno'ed their car on a AWD dyno yet? Just curious what the AWHP numbers are. Seeing as how gallardo's are AWD, it would make sense to see AWHP numbers, correct?
