BLKROKT, presumably you have an uprated clutch? Which one? How long does it last when being used on the dragstrip and what's it like for normal driving?
A few of my mates go to the local dragstrip (York) and they keep trying to get me there but I'm frightened of stripping the standard clutch and looking like a right prick.
How easy is the 996tt to launch? Do you just rev it up and dump the clutch or what?

Carbon/Ceramic disk with upgraded Sachs plate and LWFW. It's a bitch to launch right now as LuckyP can attest to. 
Starting to soften up a bit, so I hope I can rip off some good launches tomorrow (I hear they're giving the track the full race-prep treatment).
Once you start increasing the power, the stock clutch goes goodbye very quickly.
Stock clutch => Bring the revs up to 4k and slip it hard. Managed a few 1.8's and a 1.7 60' time stock.

Good to meet you guys out there today. There were some great cars out there, and nice to see the P-cars being put through the paces. 2 944T running in the mid-14's at damn close to 100mph, and a bone-stock 997C2S (against which I ran my best time of the day) running 12.6's @ 111mph. That chick can drive! 
And what a day it was for me as well. Ripped off a 11.65 @ 123.33mph. Best mph of the day was 126.50. Beat my previous best by 8-tenths and 13mph. And the best part is this is on stock wimpy K16's. Can't wait to upgrade to bigger turboooos [drool drool].
Ready to line them up LuckyP?

How much boost are you running on the K16's?And what a day it was for me as well. Ripped off a 11.65 @ 123.33mph. Best mph of the day was 126.50. Beat my previous best by 8-tenths and 13mph. And the best part is this is on stock wimpy K16's. Can't wait to upgrade to bigger turboooos [drool drool].

Actually just dug out my time....Reaction 0.121
60ft 1.972
330ft 5.032
1/8 ET 7.564
1/8 MPH 97.89
1000' ET 9.702
1/4 ET 11.629
1/4 MPH 120.06
Should be close!!
It was a C2S. I know, I lined up against her twice and had a nice convo with her and her BF (car owner?). BONE stock and a tip to boot. I was shocked - that's a fast sucker out of the box! It would give a stock 996TT a good run!
Boost = 1.1 bar. I've got a couple of mods which have really worked out, and finally got all of my minor issues sorted. To the best of my knowledge this is the second quickest K16 time recorded (the only quicker I know of is 11.44), and the best mph (126.50 best mph).

Please share the mods that really worked out with your k16 brethren. Boost = 1.1 bar. I've got a couple of mods which have really worked out, and finally got all of my minor issues sorted.
