997 GT2 1/4 mile time and terminal

[LuckyP]

Just for fun (and yes I realise this is a pointless excercise for this type of car), what are the predictions for a stock 997 GT2 over a 1/4 mile?

Would it beat a 997TT for example?

LuckyP, it will absolutely DESTROY the 997TT in every respect. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it runs 11.2's @ 130'ish right out of the box. It's going to be close to the Carrera GT time.

Hi LuckyP great seeing you at fighting Torque and what a monster you have there.
I think the only way up for you in terms of speed is the GT2 you know it makes sense. The Gt2 will do those times all day long.

You think the extra BHP will outweigh the 4WD?

Was up against a rather fast (202mph)996 GT2 at VMax on Sunday and even though I was pi55ing in the backwash on the main drag, I would say your 996TT and Yorkshires 997TT both dragged quicker outta the blocks

a friend and colleague of mine (Tim Chandler) was recently drag racing a bog standard tiptronic 997 tt up at a drag race event in his 550 bhp Parr fettled 996 GT2. 997 TT had an 18 yr old driving it and was pulling mid 11 sec quarter miles times at 125mph. Simply sticking car in D left braking till revs build up then letting go Thats pretty rapid. Beat Tim on three runs in a row I think.

Will it though. (I mean the time, not the do it all day long bit - I don't doubt that!)

I like a drag and I'm learning to track - would the GT2 be better than the Ultima at both disciplines?

997GT2 has 145kg less weight and 50bhp more than a 997TT so destroys it acceleration-wise once it's going. The only aspect where a TT can win is in launch, as it's easier to launch 4wd Porsches and particularly the Tiptronic, which will do a perfect launch every time with no driver skill. The 997GT2 does have launch control though, so it'll be interesting to see how this works.

Hmmmmmm...don't doubt it.

Should be intersting.

I think between 11.2 and 11.6 s 1/4 mile. A very good driver will probably be able to put it in the 10's. Terminals between 127 and 130 mph. It will blow the doors off a turbo.

I do 11.63 @ 120.06 in the Ult, so it should be a good match. A lot of the higher powered, better aeroed cars seem to come at me after the launch as my weight advantage is reduced and their power aero takes over.

Yorkshires 600bhp 977TT had it all, fast launch, great 2nd/3rd pull. I just keep thinking that there is only so much RWD power that a heavy car can contend with off the line.

We'll have to wait and see.

Black will probably be fastest too.

DEFINITELY BLACK!

Just do it, it's going to be a sick ride. Run 11-flat all day with full warranty and blow the doors off anything from a roll as well. Can't beat it.
