Awesome cloud9

Thought Black ones are quicker.......Lol. Epic cars such a big step up on from the 991 tts, and not just in power reminds me a lot like 996GT2 in the way it drives.

I see TGTV has just taken delivery of one. Bit odd that only a month ago he was filming a video on what to spec.... Canceled order maybe?

I don't think anyone works any harder than TGE, I doubt people would want to work his hours.

I was speaking to Stef at Europipe today. Well worth considering contacting if you do want more sound. No cels and only 50 cel exhaust on the market available on 991 and 997. 992 turbo s exhaust imminent.

We've had two and covered 60k trouble free miles between them. Our OPC could not tell it is aftermarket.

He has his own very high Tech Dyno. As stock these are 704bhp.

Ha probably. Must feel like a hamster on a wheel having to constantly buy cars some of which you probably don’t want. So much of the content seems to be about the cost of buying/financing and running cars. Must get pretty tedious after a while.

Ken at 9e has just got one in to tune. He'll have stock figures soon enough.

I don't have it I am afraid. I have seen screen shots of a WP GT3RS, on his Equip showing 537bhp. To be honest I am not surprised its putting out over 700bhp, even the stock 3.0 C2s has been tested to be almost 40bhp over.

It certainly feels at least as powerful as GT2RS, its has more Torque than the 2RS. For me the standout point is not how fast it is or the power, I knew it was going to be fast after the 2RS. For me the stand out points are the chassis and suspension, just how agile, brakes and steering. I have not experienced any other car that feels so well sorted in these areas, including the 918.

Ah makes sense he's a tuner he seemed very reluctant to stick a VBOX in her (Ken/9e asked me to ask him by mentioning you and told me it would be okay). I then asked if he'd like to pair up for a run but unfortunately didn't happen so perhaps you'll be kind enough to oblige me after all black ones are fastest. I think my old banger whilst q car and totally stock engine/gearbox even Porsche cannot tell its tuned is known up there at VMAX now. Moderns with drivers who occasionally tend to be the medallion man trophy drivers avoid me. Even a close friend was getting pissed off with me losing race after race in his brand new 600LT. Very amusing and told him I'd take him out in track in her if he still didn't want the 600LT I'd take her off his hands he's had a lot of trouble with his.

No idea as to why he would not want to run a V-BX. Maybe because he has only had his car 3 days before. I recall from my own 991tts that they all gave there best after around 4-5k miles, and some track use. So your car is stock bhp then? I found it helpful to look at the actual V-BOX times on my 918 below. I have driven a few 600lts, whist the 675Lt is a much better car. The 600lts that I drove I thought were great fun, when they worked.

I was running similar 0-186mph as 918 yesterday on stock engine and gearbox. 918 would have lost to 200mph as electric power cut at 170mph but ask Ken re changes to mine. They're very minimal car drives like stock and has stock engine and gearbox never been touched other the than GT2 turbos and an exhaust smile

Still goes to Porsche for normal servicing.

Mines still a fast comfortable barge just like she left the factory. You're more than welcome to have ago at next VMAX smile

Give me a cool day I'll do 0-186mph in 20 secs. Intake temps at 50c before we even began drag racing as VMAX got it wrong yesterday and had massive tail backs outside gates from 8.30am onwards. Awful day to run with heat yesterday and they didn't even get us on track till 12.30pm so all our cars heat soaked.

Back to the belle of the ball so fat and stubby. Best looking turbo since 930/964/993 for me. Porsche have done a fantastic job of the styling. When you see it in the flesh. All I can think is BEAST








Car arrived late and it was like this lad had just strolled in looking for a fight . That was the visual impact of the styling.
