996 Turbo X50 1st day

[bluesatin]

Well all I can say is that I had a great time emptying the tank today.

First impressions are a well sorted setup with the springs and dampers being nicely balanced (this is a first)resulting in a great turn in and predictable ride balance out of bends. I will need some more time to get used to the turbos after the linear power delivery of the Maserati but it certainly goes over 3,000 rpm with 0.9 bar(should this be higher?)but not quite the same mad power delivery of the Ultima.

All in very impressed with the car and the way it behaves. A day at a Bruntingthorpe is what a need next!

What you need next is 525 BHP & 580 Lb-ft... I recently delivered an X50 back to a client after doing this. It is a brave man that turns off the PSM in that car.

Enjoy it a 996TT is an immense car

Blue,

Nope, 0.9 bar is right. If memory serves it's 0.8 on the non X50 cars. Still enjoying the way mine delivers the power when the boost comes in

Have fun
