So, is a supercharged 928 a match for the 911 Turbo? Seems to me like the weights have crept up in the 911 - the new car weighs 3505 pounds - closer to 3600 with the tiptronic!!!!

Man is this going to be good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The turbo will pick up more women.....

drnick

which turbo? posted 0-60 times for the displacement type blower are comparable if not better i think than the 996 turbo. the turbo is suposed to be a great drive in all kinds of weather (with 4wd) but less involving, i think i prefer rwd only with a lsd more GT2.. but then there are the looks to consider!

Let's assume a 996 twin turbo, Make it an S with the x50 pacakge if you like. Assume 928 supercharged, suspension upgrades, big brakes, etc.

Looks!!!!!!! like the shark needs help in that department!!!!

..... not if they're our age! .... but sometimes younger is at least different, if not better ....

I have followed a ~1980 930 around, onto freeways and off a while ... as he tried gettign away from me. He was VERY powerful as his engine spooled up, but at initial take-off and top end, the S4 had him beat ... it was only during his apparent hig-rev-range that he was able to pull away a little, and not much. That was my n/a S4.

Soon she'll be supercharged, and I expect at least that 930 would be left in the dust in a very big way. I have also been trounced by turbo 996's .. like I was standing still. So I don't know what effect the SC will have ... who has the numbers?

The turbo has better traction( rear weight bias) but especially a late 4 wd version. Finding a stock early 930 that is willing to race would be rare with many 930s having had all kinds of upgrades. There is something very addictive about forced induction and after a taste EVERYONE wants more ! The question of which is faster probably depends on the kind of race, 0-60, 0-100, 40-120, straight line, twisty, very twisty , parking lot autocross............... Bonneville salt flats, but in many of these the drivers ability makes a big difference . And we all know in an Open Road Race , 500 hp or so can get a stock body 928 up to 200 mph or so .

Funny you should ask.....last nite I was replacing my s/c belt and took the car out for a run around the block. My shop is in an industrial area and after 6pm there is not a sole around for miles. As I came to a four way stop there was a black 996 to my left just waiting by the side of the road with his lights on and engine running...as I passed by I couldn't help my self and punched it as I got to his open window. He smiled and punched it as well, but I was gone. At the next stop I turned rite and he followed so I stoped and rolled down the window. He said " that thing is fast" I said yep! he said he had heard me going around the block the first time and wanted to see what kind of car it was. His was a new to him 911 turbo, when we were done talking we just happened to leave at the same time . His car was fast but he went from my side window, to side view mirror, to rearview mirror before I got out of second gear!! not that we were racing or anything like that.

... niiiice ....

Maybe, but you can fit more of them in a 928 at the same time.

I happened to be a passenger in a supercharged 928 during an encounter with a 930. Coming out of a corner the 930 punched it first. The supercharged 928 then did the same. The 930 got very small in the 928's rear view mirror very quickly.

Below is a G-Tech run from an '03 twin turbo with the X50 package.

Well I will have a few opportunities to test that theory very shortly...

I hope quite well. Modern max performance tires (SO-3's), Bilstein/Eibach coilovers, and awaiting delivery of a Murf Supershark kit. Performance should be close, except for traction issues. The 993 and 996 turbos have AWD, and 996's have PSM/traction controls.

Well according to that g-tech run I have him beat in my '87 s4 auto with only 7 psi on 0-60. And that is at 60+ pounds above stock weight. At 10-11 psi I would match his 1/4th. If I dropped some weight I could take him at both 0-60 and 1/4th mi. Thats just talking acceleration. I wont guess on handling.

I'll add that Shane is only .3 second off his 0-60 and .7 off his 1/4th in Heidi his 86 auto SUPERMODEL.

PJ's '87 S4 auto SUPERMODEL with 220,000miles is .8 sec behind him in the 1/4th.

Give me time and I'll have those times beat!
