Switzer 997 Sledgehammer - dyno pull

hi guys, tym just wrapped up the dyno tuning session on my 997 turbo. i had a chance to drive it on the street. all i can say is holy moly!!! this is one badazz ****. the car literally starts to drift into the other lane in 3rd and 4th gear pulls as the awd system is trying to lay down the power. anyways, enjoy the video. check out the flame it throws out of the exhaust tips at the end of the pull.

Did they just disconnect the driveshaft to get that car on a rwd dyno or? Get that bad boy on an awd dyno! But congrats on the #'s looks/sounds like an absolute beast.

if that is the 997 turbo, isn't it awd? factor in the loss of the front wheels on the dyno, did it overestimate your hp and torque? nice hp still. so, your evo 8's 700 hp is it from an awd drive dyno or is it the same set as that posted?

we disconnected the drive shaft and dynoed it rwd. my evo was on the same dynojet, but dynoed in awd.

my favorite was the Carrera GT which i recently sold. Currently, it would be a toss up between the GT2 and this 997 Turbo. As a daily driver, the GT2 gets top marks. however, when i want to drive for fun on the weekend, the 997 turbo is unbelievable!
