2006 Porsche 911 TT Steps Up to The Plate

The Z owes so many styling cues to the Porsches, it is ridiculous.
I think that sometimes it is wiser to just step back, say "wow, nice car" and leave it alone instead of thinking of a way to destroy one by cramming more boost into your VQs. You guys talking about beating on Porsches and Ferraris with your TT Z's are starting to look like the kids with Civics with huge pipes and wings trying to brag about being so much faster then American muscle cars.
Besides, if you have that much $$ to burn on a car that you are in a market for one, get a Skyline Z-tune and be done with it. I really can't imagine someone being able to afford a 130G car, but not a 180G...
Or stick with the TT Z and be content with being able to beat "only" 99% of cars on the road.

Even if a porshce beats your 400+ Z, your not gonna get owned that bad, the porsh guy will probaly tell you got a hella of a fast car, then when he says whats done to the motor (because you just hung with him, or got beat by a length)...you say "its stock dude, except for my flowmasters"....just keep your face, watch the look on his face, priceless...guys drives off thinking i just spent $$$ to barely smoke a 350z??
I want to go on Sunday drives with the windows open.... I want to travel winding mountain roads with the wind in my hair.... I want to meet new Porsche 997TT's on the road and kill them.

it seems to me that gearing is the Z/Gs greatest enemy.
apparently these cars can produce 400+whp, relatively safely. thats 'enough' power to take care of most cars...but with mismatched gearing, it becomes a problem.
tires and suspension can be fixed.. but at the very least, the final drive needs to be adjusted..

Honestly I don't know why some guys don't employ the RaceLogic traction control system. It's mappable (is that a word??) so you can tune it just as you would an EM or UTEC.
It would be nice if we had SO MANY options for rear gear ratios like domestics and at an affordable price tag..

Yet, please take a look at our website, we do beat TT Porsches and New Z06s on the racetrack. No BS and No Lies...

No the new 911 (997) turbos arent out yet... just the new s models and cayman.

all kidding aside this will allow much faster spool and change in pitch for higher pulls in the top end... airplanes have been doin it for years not a space age technology just finally implemented.
True.... jet engines have variable compressor inlet guide vanes. But this technology in a turbocharger has to be affordable to the public. Would you pay 10,000 dollars for an APS TT kit with variable stator vanes? I guess that's why the base price for that car is $130,000.

wow...
those numbers are just INSANE..especially the torque available from 1950 rpm!!! -.-
DAAAAYUM!!!
but the car got a time of 7"50 on the nurburgring, while the new GTR was aiming at minimum 7"45..(GT2 being their comparsion in mind)...
the new GTR MIGHT outperform the new 911 Turbo^^

Just curiuous, what Porsche was mass produced and when? AFAIK, GM had the first mass produced turbo cars. Corvair Monza Spyder in '64 and if memory serves there was also an Oldsmobile, Jetfire Turbo in 1962. What Porsche was factory turbo charged in the early 60's? I always thought the '74 911 was the first production turbo Porsche.
There is no doubting that Porsche has stuck with Turbochargers and made them work like no one else, however, GM was the first.

Hey, no problem. Admirable to see someone who is upfront like you!!!
I was reading Porsche's stuff and noticed they worded it cleverly....
As much GM bashing as goes on all over the world, I just like to see a little credit given where due.
