Default yesterday test drove a 997 TT....how would a stage 3 compare?

This car is OUT OF CONTROL! It would put bus lengths easily on my stage 2 s4 ( that I thought was fast LOL!). It is the fastest car I have ever driven. I don't know what a stage 3 feels like but it is hard to imagine even a heavily modded s4 would be able to keep up. On acceleration the car never dies out at any rpm range...it just gets faster and faster and faster while pinning you in your seat. The 0-60 is around 3.7 seconds. Any stage 3 guys race one of these ever? I want to go stage 3 soon and would like to know if a healthy stage 3 would be any match for this car..

there's video of one pulling a Z06 on the highway. I'd say....slim chance, but not impossible.

Default depends on your Stage 3 S4......i have ran a couple 997TT's

one had stock programming, but had Exhaust, Hi-flo cats, etc....and made about 35 whp more than stock 997TT. I was even with it. This was on Racegas (100-101 octane)

I ran another one couple weeks ago......blue 997TT, from a 75 roll to 160 MPH, I was 1/2 car ahead. I was on PUMP gas this time (3-4 gallons of 91 octane with "maybe" 1/2 gallon of racegas leftover). I was running alot of boost though. I was 1 car ahead from 75-130 or so, but from 130-160, he started inching.....but ever so slowly, and I held on till we shut down. On straight racegas, I would pull on one, no doubt...

This is on Tweaked AWE kit btw, OTS would get walked hard

Default this is the one i ran 2 weeks ago................

the guy was a super cool guy, had actually just moved out here from NJ to Cali, had an E60 M5 (works for BMW) that he traded in for the 997TT. I am supposed to run him from more highway rolls again this week

PS. Oh...on the 75-160+ pull that I got him by 1/2 car or so on pumpgas, I had a 200 lb. passenger with me too.
