There is no shame in getting smashed by a 911 Turbo.

AMG_55

no, there isnt. once my car breaks in i will do it again, by myself this time.
plus the tt is moded

FishtailnZ

I'm not all that up on Porsche's - what kind of power difference are we looking at here? I'm sure yours is a decent enough performer in it's own right, but wow that TT just flat out gets up and runs, not walks, away!

AMG_55

mine is 355hp 3200lbs
tt stock is 415hp about 3500lbs

but there is a huge tq diffrence, well over 100lb ft.

plus that one has an exhaust (on turbo cars its a substantial hp increase) and i think its chipped, first he told me it was, then he said it wasnt

FishtailnZ

Well as the old saying goes..."torque wins races, horsepower sells cars". Sounds like the guy was keeping a few things up his sleeve too.

Thericker

Ouch! cool vid!

AMG_55

he's my brothers friend, he was just ****ing w/ me, that car sounds bad ***

AMG_55

thanks, after i get some more mi on my car and do some mods itll be a lot closer, i just hope he doesnt start working on his before i finish


this dude used to have a 600+hp s4
then a e46 m3 w/ coilovers, brembo's, cf roof, hood, trunk, ac schnitzer 3pc wheels, etc....

Thericker

Yeah I'd love to see a re-match after "You properly break it in " It should be a solid performer...

AndrewAZ

Looked like a slow motion race.. You guys should get some AMGs to speed it up.

TeutonicCarFan

Turbo has AWD...helpful on a launch if not rolling

JAY55

yo, did u run that dude at the Carlsbad meet?

AMG_55

yeah, that was him.
you see the cyn. run vid?
its in off topic
"997S on Piuma"
you still wanna put $ on jangy?

jangy

I definitely do. I've said it before, but it will take a car with a minimum of 400hp to take me. Other than that, it is all useless. It may be nice. But it is still useless.

I promise you Jay still wants to put money on me. I wish he and Jeff had shown you their $$ that day. they really did expect Raw to show up with his.

Break her in as we need no excuses...

AMG_55

i dont get it, do you just drag race from corner to corner? slam on your brakes at the last second, get around the corner however you can and then floor it again. thats not canyon driving.

you cant do that in our canyons, i dunno about canyons in sd but here there are many elevation changes, transitions, decreasing radius corners etc.....

i dont wanna drag race or see whose brakes are better(mine)

JUST CONFIRMED:
that turbo in the vid is pushing at least 550HP

jangy

What isn't to get? Of course i try to minimize the turns and maximize the straights. How else could i compete? Call it what you will. Maybe I don't canyon drive. Dunno. all I know is I can go up and down Palomar at some good speeds. Never claimed skill or a fast car.

All cars are driven differently, and if you think I drive my E like I did my M3 then you are way off. I definitely floor it on the straights and slam on the brakes as late as possible and then just try to old speed in the turns.

All the more reason to put up, aye?

AMG_55

yeah, i guess whatever works, just dont try that in la canyons, i dont wanna attend another accident related funeral, been to 3 too many

egxpimp

Damn, nice run... now we need some twisties :whip:

AMG_55

yes, we do (hehe)

egxpimp

haha give me a few months to get use to my car and i'm down for sure !

AMG_55

you car is just like a video game, just play gran turismo
point and shoot

jangy

That is definitely how mine is. The only things I pay any attention to are brake and acceleration points. All else is butter.

AMG_55

those brakes are horrible, i cant stand em
when do you wanna meet up?

egxpimp

I have yet to drive it so i odnt know
