Raced a 2001 911 Turbo Stage ?

A friend of mine wanted to race my e55 against his buddies 911 turbo. I was told that it only had a can tune. I later found out that not only does it have a custom tune, but it has upgraded turbos, and MORE! It actually gave me a run for my money and I even with all my power I couldn't beat it.

BTW - nice surge tanks. i almost went red but went black. i also had the raised "AMG" hi-polished so it looks virtually chrome and had the bolts that hold the surge tanks chrome dipped. worth doing for almost no $$...

Your worst nightmare...
Strong 996 for sure!, they are no joke once tuned and properly running. I raced a 700 + package once with my stock CL65 and it left me standing.

It isn't just the power that the P car making, it is the fact that the 996tt is suited perfectly for racing from a roll, gearing, weight distribution, etc. I would bet that the P car is stock internals with upgraded turbos, etc and it was driven by someone who knew what they were doing. The e55sucks from a roll. Gearing is way to lax.

If Ben told you that car (the porsche) has built internals he was lying to you. You are totally misrepresenting the modifications of the car. That car is making 550whp at best.

No, The porsche never raced the Z06. I raced the z06 when I had less power, no TB and no retune.

Im not sure if he had internals, but he did mention that he had upgraded turbos, they were not stock. He said he had all of his stuff done at Motorwerks here in Houston and he was about to get another tune/mod in a few weeks.
