Q&A Porsche discussion

[dingo]

I was discussing the turbo setup of the 996 GT2 with the owner of this car which I spent 4 days in last weekend ( http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...=29844&start=0 ).

He wasn't certain of whether the turbo's were 'sequential' (as in a smaller one for low revs and then the larger turbo kicking in...) or if it was just two identical turbo's both working from the start.

If that makes sense, whats the answer?

BTW, I have to say the GT2 is the most brutal accelerating car I have ever been in - just phenominal. :shock:

....first, i´m more than glad that u were able to experience one of the top products PAG ever released, the GT2 is indeed a masterpiece and not only well-known for its brutal acceleration, now that u know just imagine such a machine on a decent race track
....automotive heaven

to quickly answer your question, the GT2´s two K24 turbos are working parallel but are that good trimmed that there´s hardly any brutal turbo kick and absolutely NO lag, so i can only agree here the GT2s overall engine performance is definitely among the best of all turbocharged engines available...

Thanks alot for the answer.....

Although we did get the GT2 up to an indicated 330kmh (I know its official top speed is only ~319kmh) on public roads it would also have been nice to experience how it handled on a track instead of a straight line all day.

I fully agree. i had the chance for a quick ride with a gt2 3 years ago and it was absolutely brutal - it took my breathe away, i was really impressed of this car. i should have some pics of the car somewhere.... i'll search it when i'm back home.

Does anyone has informations ( pics etc.) about private cars of Porsche family members ? (Wolfgang , Peter, Gerd, Ferdinand , Olivier etc.)

I took the following pics at a 2006 introductory car show. On display were all the 2006 vehicles that are being release. While I was walking inbetween buildings I saw this little honey parked outside. I don't think its a real GT3 because its been registered in California since August. It also didn't have a GT3 emblem in the back. Maybe it could be a real one, or it could just be a body kit. But here are some pics.




I was thinking this could be a GT3 because it looks really close to the spy photo that CAR AND DRIVER took here


Pics taken with the beautiful Canon Digital Rebel XT
Great camera.


Inputs??

Edit: Actually I can see the rubber line missing from the bottom of the hood on the white car.

Great camera sure (hell, I have one ), but not when used at night with a flash

And this is just a 997 with the aerokit by Porsche. I doubt we will see a GT3 with a sunroof

Still difficult to judge, use a tripod next time

[MIHALS]

as I already posted weeks (months) ago, I've seen basically the same kit, but in black. this time, CarreraS

I think the 997 GT3 has it exhaust in the middle rather than 2 on each side..

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

A-W-E-S-O-M-E.....specially the black model, actually very few more beautiful 911 have i seen in the pics....on the other hand, i prefer the previous model of the withe 911 RS......however, the 911 still remains something special for me

[DJF1]

Yeap that's the aerokit from Porsche on the 997. It looks awesome I must say...

[ae86_16v]

[raphaelws]

The dealer wants to sell me back a stock chip for $1400. Anybody hear have any experance with 996 TT with chips? Thanks for the help.

Is this guy being fed a bunch of BS by the dealer, I mean stealer who wnat's to make some coin off him - ?? Or are Porkers really this sensitive to tuning changes that they will "fry the turbos" at the drop of a hat?

I am suspecting it's not really the way the dealer is making it out to be - but I could be wrong...
