Info on Supercharged 968
Discussion
Dear All,
I am a Porsche fan: my father has several 911s in the 70s, he had some 944 in the past and was often borrowing a friend’s 930 Turbo and 928 and he now owns a really nice 993 (my parents live in France, at the German border, where I grew up).
I live in London and own a 5L TVR Chimaera (5L V8): over 310 bph, lots of torque and only 1040 kgs. It out accelerates pretty much any Porsches except the recent turbos / RSs…
Anyway, the TVR has not been used much for the last 22 months as I have a 22 month old son and it’s now missing a seat (prior to this it was being used as weekend / holiday car as I commute on my Vespa). About a year ago I was considering selling it an buy a 964 / 993 / 928 or 968 and I voted against it, as I knew that I would miss the TVR terribly (the uniqueness / style / performances / driving experience and noise is just too good) so I have decided to keep it and buy an “interesting family / weekend car” in which I can go away with my mrs and our son (we have a family car for the “normal drives”) once I have the spare cash.
Anyway, I do not yet have the spare cash, but hopefully soon and I am more inclined to go for a 968 (good boot, room for 4, much cheaper that a 911, has ABS and airbags, good weight distribution for track use (if I was not going to use the TVR, etc…) but also know that after a while I would want to get more power out of it.
I know that one of the solutions is to put a supercharger.
So here comes my question: what would be the cost of a good supercharger installation on a 968 and what kind of power / torque / 0-60 would you get out of it…?
I am not looking to get the fastest 968 out there and still have a car that is enjoyable to drive, that my mrs can drive, but I would like to get more poke out of the already good 3L 4 pot engine…
Any information on the cost / set-up (make of the super charger, I think you gusy yur Rotex, righ?), company doing the installations, performances would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Frenchie
