Sarge, that is most impressive and deserves a round of applause for the shop.
Now you've "up'd" the pace for everyone here w/o giving us enough notice; just curious, are you done with engine/drivetrain mods so we can plan to play catch up? ;-)
Holy Shniky, it is truly an accomplishment that wont be matched easy. Dyno numbers are secondary, would be interesting to know how she performs should you keep her as a daily driver.
And what do you expect to haul with this thing, the U.S.S. Enterprise?
I envy you for this adventurous ride and I hope you'll enjoy her for a long, long time! Congratulations!!!

My buddy has an R8 arriving soon. Can't wait for that :-)
The allroad will launch better and once in third and fourth, no contest. The drag is not a significantly differentiating factor until probably 100+, and the additional 200+hp should overcome that issue up to speeds beyond which this car should be driven.
The best time I've seen for my stock 997 C2S was 3.9 to 60 by C&D, and I don't think I've seen anything much better, or even matching (that I can recall) for the GT3. GT3 is a better performance car, for sure, but has less torque and the same available grip for straight line performance. It walks away from the C2S past 60 or so, but not much before, if at all.
The GT2 would be an interesting race though...
And while I really admire the R8, the allroad will take that down very handily too. I can't wait to see the V10 twin turbo version of that car... I may have to ante up for that one.
I do anticipate having a lot of fun with all the F430's, P-Cars and other 'spensive toys running around my hood. I love the 'wolf in sheep's clothing' aspect of this car, big time.
