met up with Irish 996 (although he drives a 997) and a couple of friends this last Saturday for another episode of out run.
This time the cars were:
*Yellow 997.2 4S car that belongs to Irish996
*Silver Evo 10 highly modified belongs to another RL member (forgot his username)
*Burgundy Maserati Coupe
*Black 991 GT3 (my car)
Sharing some videos and pics. All videos and some pics are courtesy of Irish996, thanks!
My poor little Evo broke piston #1 trying to keep up. I should bill Porsche for not giving me an R allocation and forcing me to take the Evo on this drive
Anyways i enjoyed the trip while it lasted and I'm building the Evo to be faster and stronger but no more running with Porsches at 170mph for a sustained duration. The Evo was seeing 8000RPM at 5th gear trying to keep up.
Had another cruise yesterday. This time we had only 3 cars but still it was loads of fun!
The cars were:
1. GT4 (Irish 996's new ride)
2. 991.1 Turbo S (not sure if he is on RL, not the same Turbo S that joined the previous time although same exterior color)
3. 2015 GT3 (my car)
It was the first time, i see a GT4 in action. I was totally blown away by it and it sounds lovely stock! For the price, i am not sure what else is in its league (i do love the GT350 and GT350 R but have not seen them in action, i do think they are great valued cars though)
At the end of our spirited drive, we lined up all 3 cars and did some drags. Some from a stand still and some were from a roll.
GT4 always came last when we dragged whether it was from stand still or from a roll. On our spirited drive though, it easily kept up and several times leaded the way.
I would say in terms of dragging, at least from yesterday, my car and the TTS are tied
Yes he beat me more times in total when we dragged from a stand still but i still beat him a few times.
Yes i beat him more times in total when we dragged from a roll but still he beat me a few times too.
Attached video was filmed by Irish996, he was signaling with his hands then we took off, so in this one i had a much better reaction time. I stayed in front till we shut it down, i was not ahead of him by much at all and for sure if we did not shut it down, he would have passed me but we were already at speeds of 200 or pretty close. I was told that gas here is horrible and affect turbo cars much more than NA. Either way, i am happy with such results and without the DMS Race Headers, i doubt the outcome would be the same.
Would be great if Irish996 can jump in here and give his unbiased opinion on how the cars matched up against each other, enjoy the video and pictures
