Top speeds are somewhat strange, one or two car lengths could well do it, or could give you exactly the same speed.
Soph and I had 3 grudge match races and we went through the beams within a cars length of each other on all 3 runs and all 3 times she posted a 1mph higher speed regardless of lane, it was so depressing to get the big "L" from her on the way back to the start.
Kav, your car really is a weapon, I'd love to swap rides with you next time (in whatever I bring) and a Turbo S is so on my list now ( Damm that salesman in OPC Reading who tried to sell me a GTS when I went in for a Turbo PDK)

I noticed how quick she was Jez, was afraid to ask her for a run TBH !! I'd thoroughly recommend a Turbo S, so much more than straight line speed. With PTV, centre diff lock,Dynamic Engine mounts and Ceramic breaks they are stunning around tracks also, you can carry just so much speed through corners . Great pair of cars you guys have got and next time will be my pleasure to swap rides, thats if you don't end up buying an "S" before then !

My two penny worth....

Kav – I love your motor and saying “banging on” in the other thread I wasn't being hostile, I love your enthusiasm

Re the turbo S engine. Cargraphic for the last 10 years (at least) have bought all their tuning packages from RS Tuning who developed them on their engine dyno.
Rs Tuning tested the new Dfi turbo motor and blew it up at the 550hp level. They have subsequently built a Dfi turbo motor with rods etc and I understand whilst holding together it has been problematic so they do not offer tuning for the turbo Dfi motor.

Cargraphic has partnered with someone else to develop the Dfi turbo tuning, I don't know who it is, maybe DMS

If we are skeptical that RS Tuning (despite their history) got it wrong re increasing the power of the Dfi turbo then ask yourself why the GT2RS doesnt have this engine ? My information is that the GT2RS was delayed many months whilst Porsche engineers tried to make the turbo Dfi lump reliable for the power needed - they couldn't.....

I still want to know why Kav1s exhaust was so black, with black soot on the bumper, there is too much fuel being burnt, this is not a good tune in my experience but hopefully with some data logging we can suss out what is happening

re Kav1s comment
at vmax you'd need a minimum of 700 bhp to pull more than a couple of cars on it at any speed

You have to get you head round the PDK and the awesome job Porsche have done with making it work with a turbo motor (like on the GTR)
If you look at the data trace I posted on the other thread you can actually measure the time it takes during a gearchange to go from full longitudinal G in say 3rd to full longitudinal G in 4th (longitudinal G is the full shove in the back you get once the new gear is home and boost is back to full) the time is between 1.2 and 1.5s !!

So for a run up the main straight (starting in 3rd) a turbo s PDK saves about 4s compared to a stick shifter - this is a massive amount and hence why the relatively modest power can produce such relative acceleration.....

Now to comment directly on needing a minimum of 700 hp to pull a couple of car lengths...... at vmax 700hp in my 0.71 CdA vs Kav1s 0.6CdA (don't ask other can of worms) Porker, means that the 700hp car is travelling at 200mph (GPS ) 340 metres before the traps.....

All good stuff and food for thought

Great reading guys, who really has the biggest c0ck then?

Check out times on this beast

I have asked the question. All tuning so far has always had RS tuning on the DME. Will come back to you once I have confirmation.

Ken

SureThe Americans really like Switzer/Evoms though this could be more for price.

btw Speedart do a 650kit for pdk

When they do a 1300nm tq kit like MKB does for the tiptronic then I will be interested. There are kits out there but CMS have been working this one extensively using different materials for the clutches and so on.

Now they have the right material and there are control unit issues because of the way 7th gear works apparently.

I am sure someone will because the GTRs do not have the same issue - you can upgrade to over 1000hp, running 3.2 seconds from 60-130mph and 2.7 from 100-150mph.

And then there is Underground Racing with the Lambo tt who just set record of 3.04 seconds on e-shift from 60-130mph - count that in your head - 3.04 seconds and that includes shifting.

The modifying game has moved on and Porsche are getting left behind.

Yeah I remember when AllanLambo first did his build on his Gallardo think it was Heffners with adjustable boost.

That's an incredible time, Ken how does your car stack up against VRAlexanders 1000hp 6t at one time it was the quickest out there?

Frank, and that was on an incline!
