GT2 Can Play That Game: 9ff and Switzer each tune out 800+hp Porsche 911s

I didn't realize that they stopped making the Carrara GT What a shame, that is a beautiful car. It's interesting that they are using GT30 turbo's instead of 35's. I'm guessing it was to keep the spool quick.

Just looked at the graph... It's extremely linear (Like they said the the article). To us, it would almost seem like too large a turbo, but they way it holds power up top and the trq curve are very nice.

IMHO the 911 is a much more attractive car than the Carrara GT (horrible engine placement notwithstanding ).
I was never a fan of the GT myself.

Mr.Kleen speaks like a heretic. In any event, I have recently found renewed appreciation for Porsche. For a long time, I was very lukewarm on them, but now I want one again.

/doesn't help that a friend took me out in his '89 Turbo

I guess it doesn't help my case that I supported to switch to water cooling.

It certainly is a power-band any large turbo Subaru or EVO would love.
The whp and torque peak at the same spot (5,750 RPMs) the hp stays to the 6,600 RPM lift and the torque drops about 100 lb/ft.
Very impressive. However, I think I'd want to see some clear track time improvement before I dropped the kind of coin Switzer is surely asking for. Occasionally, big gains in power don't add-up to big gains in performance. Porsches are a bit notorious for this.

honestly I just love the Gulf livery, especially on a car as sexy as a 911.

I don't think I'd even know what to do with an 800hp anything.

Beautiful cars though. I also agree with the good Dr.

If it were socially acceptable, I would paint every vehicle I own in that scheme

P.S.
I just passed an orange GT2 on the street. woohoo!
