First Trip to Dragstrip with 997.2TT (6MT) - 1.64 60' on Winter Tires
Hey guys. I took my 2012 911 Turbo (manual tranny) to the dragstrip today. I think I did pretty well, considering the car is totally stock and running on WINTER tires. Here are the specifics:
1/4 Mile: 11.422 secs @ 122.34 mph with a 1.648 60'
Bone stock 2012 Porsche 911 Turbo (997.2) with 6 speed manual transmission on Pirelli Sottozero WINTER TIRES (295s in the rear) at 66 degrees F ambient temp.
It took me a while to fine-tune my launch and find the right tire pressures, but the following settings were just about perfect, generating zero wheel-hop and virtually no wheel-spin.
40psi (hot) in all 4 tires
Sport Mode ON; PASM ON; PSM OFF
3,500 RPM launch
This was at Mason Dixon Dragway in MD (elevation: 520 ft above sea level).
Here's the video...
And the timeslip...
With a good summer tire on the car, I'm pretty sure that I can get a 1.5x 60' time and 11.2 sec ET.

I have the same winter snow tires and with the PDK and Turbo S, I could only launch with a 1.7 second 0-60 foot (no track prep). However, I did manage a 10.91@127. A Turbo with the overboost and PDK should do the same.

Very nice! I did an 11.5 at 122.8 with a 1.7X 60ft. At my track, if you runn 11.99 or faster, they will boot you until you get at least 4 point roll bars or you have to sand bag.
