Sorry, you said your car was a 1981 924. I found this:
1981 Porsche 924 and the Porsche 944
Despite the 944, the 924 was far from finished. Indeed, an even more special Turbo appeared in 1981 to carry Porsche’s flag among production sports cars in that year’s running of the famed 24 Hours of LeMans. Called Carrera GT, but also known as the 924 Turbo Carrera, it sported an inter-cooler and other engine modifications that lifted horsepower to 210, 33 above that in the roadgoing European model.

The Porsche 924 Turbo Carerra brought new style to the 924 line for 1981.
A more prominent hood scoop was provided to feed air, and larger spoilers appeared at each end for better “airflow management.” A lower and stiffened suspension with 911 Turbo wheels and tires nestled within bulging add-on fender flares. Performance was formidable: Motor in England got 6.5 seconds 0-60 and 150 mph tops. To many, the 924 now had the performance it should have had all along. Not surprisingly, perhaps, price was equally formidable at about $30,000, some $7,000 above the standard issue. Today, though, it’s a prized collectible, as only 400 production cars were built to complement a handful of racing versions.

The car weighed 2,471 lbs.

You must have boosted your car beyond the max to have beaten the ZO6 in the 1/4 mile, unless of course the driver of the ZO6 was not able to get traction off the line.

Ummm....yeah... I'll be the first to call BS on this.

Its a troll. Someone who is bored as hell. Look for AMAF and his twin turbo 924 stories back in 2003. Just ignore it and it will go away

Damn, look at you kid now you are a serious man.

Thanks. I was scratching my head over this also. I kept thinking my son's 2004 Subaru WRX would be a better match-up, although his only has a stock turbo along with the upgraded exhaust and intake.

this 944 turbo will be more than a match for a Z06

I dunno if you guys are going to believe me but I have become a politician.

As I said, there are a lot of fast cars out there. I really didn't want to get into a mine is faster than yours thing, as I was originally just pointing out that there is ample seating room for a sports car, and the basic difference between the feel of a ZO6 versus a C6.

I love all cars, particularly the ones that have proud owners.

whats with the 924 again?

Heh heh heh... subscribin' to this one...

IMO, the strength of the Z06 is that it's so easy to drive, so easy to put all that torque down. Very linear, very predictable, you don't have to work up a sweat to put the car at the limit and hold it there - even though the limit is absurdly high! The ZR1, by contrast, even though it doesn't sound like it's got that much more power - it's a LOT more work to pedal. I'd take a Z06 over a ZR1 any day, for the road course, cost no option.

PS - my 924 only has one turbo, so I can't compare...

my stripped 924 (2200 lbs) with an 80's era 1.5 l BMW F1 turbo motor, circa 1000 HP on toluene is faster than a C7 Z06 :P

I'm sure that is quite possible, as there are many modded cars that are very fast. I'm just amazed how fast my stock '09 ZO6 is, and still comes with a 100,000 mile/5 year transferable GM powertrain warranty.

What happens when your car has problems from too much turbo boost?
