Without a bit of wheelspin, it's way too easy to bog the launch.

You'll probably take him straight line. He'll learn you about cornering if it turns though.

You can take him. On the track, however, he'll clobber you.

The 996 isn't as much less as you'd think. 300-400lbs, thats it.

Default You should beat him up pretty easily from any start point. We

have an S4 and a comparable 911 in house and even with MTM Stage 1 the S4 pulled hard on the Porsche. With further upgrades to the S4 and the addition of an Evo intake and third radiator to the 911 it is still way uneven.

Default you guys have me all pumped up.....

I really can't believe that my s4 can take his 911 from a roll. I am in florida and we have had some super humid days. I will wait for a cool high 50's low 60's night and go to his house. He got the car yesterday and on his way home he pushed the traction control button to turn it off and he said that it went right through the dash and his abs and traction control lights came on and he feels sick to his stomach. For the coin I would have bought a carrera 4s a 98 or 97 those body styles make me want to be alone with myself.

You'd be suprised how many people think they're 2700lbs, not 3300.

Default I thought the turbo was 3400 and the carreras were 300 or so lbs lighter. Definitely didn't think

2700 though
