i kept hearing its fast but when i saw this video i didn't believe my eyes
it have a tune only.ENJOY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJp01CGDSIs

no loser

Yeah it`s Really Fast but dont forget the Turbo is made more power for engine

and with tuning you open the real power for turbo

Doesn't look that fast to me - I do see a km/h speedo in that vid though.

C/D tested the 997.2TT w/ PDK and achieved 0-60 in 2.9 seconds, 0-100 in 6.8, and 1/4 mile in 11.0 @ 128. That's damn fast for a bone-stock vehicle, easily besting the ZR1 that they were comparison-testing against (which itself is no slouch).

Champion Motorsport recently submitted a tuned 997.2 w/ PDK for independent testing on a closed circuit. 0-60 in 2.6 seconds, 0-100 in 6.1, standing 1/4 mile in 10.6 @ 133+. Mind you, this vehicle was just recently released, and most new hardware/software is still under development.

Suffice it to say, the 997.2TT should hold its own against most any other performance vehicle, assuming equal driving capabilities (although the TT should be close to idiot-proof, with AWD and PDK).

+1, if only they weren't $+155 K for a new one. I love the car, it handles great, is god awful quick (even stock) and is super-modifiable!! The Sport Chrono gives it extra boost for about 20 seconds. AWD, PDK, almost idiot-proof. What's not to love other than the price??

How is this new .2 version different than the regular 997.1??

Porsche did a facelift to the 997 models beginning with the MY09 cars. They did some minor cosmetic changes to the body (e.g., LED lights fore and aft) along with some changes to the interior (black finished PCM with a nav system that utilizes a solid state memory vice DVD based, along with other interior electronic gadgets (hookups for iPods)). The biggest change is the engine. The engine has been completely reworked with a Direct Injection fueling system. On the transmission front, they finally offered a PDK automatic transmission, which took the place of the Tiptronic.

c32AMG-DTM

The 2010 Turbo is different in several ways. Perhaps the most significant, the 997.2TT has an all-new 3.8L Direct-injected engine, and is the first turbo with PDK as an available option. Also has some other pretty neat options available.

EDIT: Infamouz nailed it above.

holy ****

2.6 0-60???

a veyron with 1000bhp is 2.4

Despite the impressive performance it recently lost in a head to head test with the SLS.

Only goes to show the potential of our lovely 6.2 power plant.

doos

its a PORSCHE. lol.....

I think the 2.6s is stretching it a bit.
I know they can achieve 3s consecutively .. although 2.6? I doubt it. You also have to consider it's anywhere between 300-500kg lighter then a Veyron. This is the main reason why it can achieve such a great 0-60 time with far less ponies to back it up; respectively, such is true with most Porsche's..

The new DFI motors however are hard to modify, software guys have been struggling big time. The ONLY mod I've seen work on ANY of the new DFI motors is the IPD DFI plenum, other than that nothing else seems to be working very well.

c32AMG-DTM

EVOMS via their EVOMSit tuning, and Champion via their proprietary GIAC tuning, seem to have achieved pretty solid results so far.

AFAIK, the only big question-mark in many folks' minds is "where is the ceiling for this new engine?" - and several have hypothesized it may ultimately end up being lower than the 3.6L GT1-derived powerplant from the 996TT and 997.1TT (which is capable of 1,000+ hp when appropriately modified).

c32AMG-DTM

If C/D can achieve 2.9s with a bone-stock 997.2TT, I don't find 2.6s to be a stretch for the same make and model but with (relatively) extensive performance-enhancing mods. Keep in mind, we're talking AWD and PDK... perfect launches are almost a given, with good tarmac and tires.

Brian GT PRO

I would have to disagree, as there are things happening in the REAL world that people are NOT talking about in terms of what EVOMS (which we are in very close contact with) are having happen with the DFI cars, so I would not go out on a limb and say that they have solid performance yet..Also, as an example, the Cayman S DFI is not picking up any power from any mod whatsoever..Until IPD developed their plenum which woke the car right up.

The new ones use VVTs right? Variable Vane Turbos? No oil lines, V-band setup, boost comes up really quick.

c32AMG-DTM

This thread is specifically about the 997.2TT, a forced-induction DFI engine. No one was talking about any other vehicle. When I said EVOMSit and GIAC seem to have pretty solid results so far, I was specifically referring to their hw/sw tuning results for the 997.2TT, as it's the topic of this thread.

Since you disagree, what is going on in the REAL world that people are NOT talking about, on the specific topic of 997.2TT tuning? Evidentiary findings on an N/A DFI engine, from a different model, is interesting but otherwise not pertinent to this discussion.

Brian GT PRO

I am not at liberty to discuss, their business is not for me to disclose. Once they have everything completely worked out, I'm sure there will be decent gains, however the tuning strategies now implemented by the factory are quite a bit different than in the past as it related to torque limiting tables, FI strategy vs boost and ramp etc. etc.. Only time will tell as to what eventually happens. EVOMS is a awesome company, I know they will get some very nice things in the pipeline for the 997.2 DFI.
