996 Gt2

[DJones]

Yep, I have data from the UR and RS4, but not from the TT, I think?

Found it, this was with the old intercoolers. Might keep up with the Ur now....

Ah, that is right, I was able to isolate some relevant time intervals like 70-90mph from the thru-the gears-graphs.
The 996 had times that rhymed well with other Porsches in the same power territory.
The thing to keep in mind is that the 6MT 996 and 997 TTs have pretty tall gearing.
RPM/MPH in 3rd is 65.4 in the 996 and 63.6 in the 997. However, the 997.2TT with PD has a much shorter 70.0 ratio.
Interestingy, the Carrera GT has 3rd and 4th gear ratios that are spot on with the S2/RS2/B5RS4 (on stockish tyre sizes), so comparing in gear times from the GT is interesting.

Single gear 3rd and/or 4th from 2000rpm to redline of flat ground would be awesome info.
(both G-tech/GPS and ECU data) would be great.

Had some new turbosmart actuators fitted and a remap by Fearnsport at Silverstone, was 1.1bar now 1.4bar and it is absolutely bonkers, god knows what power it's running, 630bhp may be, but my god it's extreme now... In 5th on a pull it's still moving around under you at 130.....

Don't think I will be looking for more....

looks like it was born there...nice photo of the curves of the 996 and the hard angles of the UR

Beautiful

[DJones]

Thanks chaps

Pain in the back side to colour match as the rear bumper has been blown in at some point and was a darker shade of noggy, had to add a spot of black to the blue and do a fade accros the back prior to clear coating....

All good fun though and happy with the finish..

Cheers

Darren.

That looks lovely

Forgot to up date this thread...

Right, final upgrades done...! GT2 wheels (look similar to turbo but 1" wider with a slightly different dish and tyre stretch 315s as opposed to 295 rears).

6 pots done, all painted yellow with 350mm discs all round and Pagid RS29's, its like dropping and anchor...

Bilstein PSS10 now fitted and tracked accordingly.

All the best.

Darren.

And a pic on the grid at Goodwood on a charity day..

The car came third in show from about 500 Porsche's, what was nice is that I didn't know I'd even entered...

Lovely stuff Darren.

Incidentally, do you still have the GT40?, that is something else is that....
