Ringmeister,


Not all the GT3 were rated at 380, the first GT3 launched was rated at 360hp...

 

GinuwineEvo8,


$110000 sounds excesive to me. You can get a new GT3 380 hp for $99000 and needs nothing because it comes with better suspension and better engine.

Your father's friend probably installed a lot of silly accesories and upgrades to account for the $25000 price difference .

 

Hmm gotta ask him again how much he spent on it ...

Also the dude is 28 .. so I think hes far from a kid ..

Also - dont confuse me with the dude who's pops has the 997 s here hehehe ...

 

Naa The evo and sti both can do 12.4 stock, car and driver drag test earlier this year.

 

who cares? I'm sure his dad worked hard enough so he doesn't have to worry about money and just bought the damn car with his money.

Why do you people criticise the american way of life?

communists. lol

 

i think you're missing a second there. they did it in 13.4 for both cars. actually 13.5 for sti, because the extra gear.

 

I ran a Porsche Turbo on the highway and that sucker pulls!!!!! Only way to find out how it'll do is, to just do it.

 

For the record, the 997S usually can be had anywhere from 85,000 to 95,000 depending on options.

A stock Evo isn't anywhere near the 997S - I should know; I traded my 326 WHP Evo in for one.

 

so who won?

 

Pcars dont have launch control, there TC would be off for race situations, and they have the same primitive tranny except with 6 cogs.

The reason they launch so well is that the weight of the engine is behind the rear wheels and that creates great off the line traction.

 

997s is a sweet car, but for that $ I'd splurge another $10k/$20k and get a TT with the x50 option...

 

no way would you get the turbo w/ the x50 addition for only 20 extra grand. the 997 base is 69,300.... another 20 is only 89,300... base turbo is 118,400.... x50 is an extra 18 g's!!!!

 

Many Porsches are underrated. The 996 GT3 (380hp) can put down 350 rwhp on a dyno. The new 997S is pretty quick too, and off the line traction isn't too bad on rear-engine car with fat tires.

 

A 997 S is a nice car, and without going nuts on expensive options (a Porsche affliction), can be had for $87,500 plus tax and license. That's about $96,000 OTD in Calif. You can buy a GSR, an RS, AND an MR for that money, so I hope the ******* Porsche is faster than an EVO.

 

I was talking used...I should have specified. The x50 does not carry over that $18k price into resale.

As far as the base 911 for $69k, I bet you can't find one on the lot for less than $80k.
