I voted yes in the poll. It doesn't specify the nature of the 944. I assumed tube frame with CF panels, no roof or windows.

lart951

like the GTR for sale on eBay?

Yes Lart, like the GTR, except you take a sawzall to the roof to reduce weight. No contest. For Ford GT money you could have one fast 944T, but I'd just buy a GT3 and happily go slower than both.

Wait, you mean you don't know about this 5th gear racing stuff? It's all the rage apparently.
I would owe sid money if he posted that he was ***** out starting in the proper gear, racing and beat him and I said no that can't happen. As it stands we are talking about a dude with 380hp racing in 5th gear in traffic claiming he paced him easily.
Yes quite a bit more and he could indeed pull a stock GT. However even sid wouldn't be able to pull off what Mudd was claiming.
Yeah I bet sid would be low 130's with ease in Texas. That car moves out.
I'm not underestimating ****. Need I remind you I flogged at 300hp 944 then a 360ish one. I never got any real chance to data run the car with the last setup at 22psi so who knows, but considering the general concensious was mid to upper 300's on 18psi and pump gas who knows what it was on good fuel and psi. I'd say easily 400+. I can't believe someone with your background would believe a 380hp 944 could pace a F.GT that was racing in the proper gear hitting it hard with the 944 just keeping the car in top gear. It takes big big power over an opposing car to be able to just not even gear down.

Do me a favor next time you got a clear stretch of empty road. Start at 60mph and hit it in 3rd gear full boogy. Then do the same from 60mph in 5th gear and you tell me which one actually accelerates hard. Both have full boost why is 3rd so much faster? Oh gee I dunno perhaps gearing plays a part.
You keep ducking and bringing up that my behavior isn't your flavor. I didn't pioneer ****. I have run plenty of stuff to know what's what, and even if I didn't it doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that gearing really matters. Me stomping it from 70 in 5th and 70 in 3rd in ANY car with any setup will have very different results.

I'm offering this as a way for you to prove your cars muscle at the Track. You know where people actually go to run their cars and find out where they stand for real, no traffic, no 5th gear bs. Oh I suppose that could be fun too. Why don't when you get to 60mph at the 500th-ish ft mark just throw it into 5th and race the rest of the way in that gear. Since clearly your car is so powerful you don't even need to be in the lower gears to put a hurting on cars.
Hardly loaded. I offer money because track isn't free, gas isn't free, and people need to be paid for their time. It's only fair.
Again sid's car is the fastest trapped 944 I've ever heard off. No doubt he would take a stock F.GT. Of course he himself would also have to start in the correct gear
Lmao at that guy running a 13.1 at 114mph. He was out of it after the 1000ft mark. Perhaps he realized he had already lost the race to the ford and didn't feel the need to push it. Do you think a stock Ford GT traps 115mph?
That's what I'm talking about
bwahahah well played sir, well played.


I believe Sid has the fastest 944 in the community(trap speed wise). He has a real shot at running mid 130's if he gets good DA and has a nice setup dialed in and I would gladly pay up with a smile on my face. I'd love to see a 944 actually run a hard #. I would also love to see a 944 put up a hard number at the mile.

Here's A Challenge... Porsshhhh951... I'll give ya $50 if you can quit being so god damn negetive and let people just enjoy their cars and good positive conversation for 1 week. How about that?

95ONE

Soooooooo.. How long is this wager good? You only mentioned 944. You said nothing about it's conditions. Is my V8 944 allowed in?! I'm hoping, very much, to start her in about a month. The 1/4 mile will be one of her first tracks. No nitrous this time, I promise.
Hell, you can come with me John!!! You're only hours away. Nothing but fun - as long as nothing breaks.

Up here that is all they do, the FGT definitely didn't let off - I guess you don't understand how much altitude affects cars.
So here is some more "heavy hitters" (Viper, ZR-1):

porshhhh951

Lol OPPS. I suppose I should specify that the original block needs to be used. Hey it's already open enough for those 3.0-3.ltr guys. I bet a 3.0 car with a big turbo running boost dialed in could run hard. Bet will stand I'd love to see someone run mid 130's. I think Sid can really do this

Of course non of that validates this guys crazy *** story about being able to pace a GT on it while he just casually leaves it in 5th gear with his 380hp 3.0ltr beast
Yes DA is huge. That just means that sid would be running a much lower trap speed as well. Any car needs the right conditions to run hard both the GT and the 951 are FI cars. Air temp/density will greatly affect any car with FI.

lart951

Tell Swanders we found special tool for I am sure he is the one driving all those those fast cars.

I don't know if John understands the concept of high altitude, the higher the altitude the less dense the air equals less performance . It's like when you go to a mountain it's hard to breathe, or a plane pilot needs oxygen for high altitude flying, Oh crap Texas doesn't have mountains,

porshhhh951

See post above.

That also might explain why when I moved up north I started acting funny or it could be that I'm just weird

V2Rocket

Down on earth (0-1000') an FGT is a monster at any speed, from a dig or a roll...but at altitude a turbo car will have the advantage over the SC, you all know this (provided similar levels of rated power output/weight).

After watching one keep up with an Enzo on the highway, they are not to be trifled with when the air is correct.

Rogue_Ant

...Sid's runs were at the same track as the videos I posted. He ran ~127mph at the exact same track as that ZR-1s and FGT which run 110-115mph.

He also proved that the car gets faster at lower altitude when he went down to a ~6000DA track, compared to our normal 8000+DA.
