IWC Big Pilot Top Gun

Spyerx

"Big pilot"
It's for blind people to tell time.
Or used as arm weight


Cool watches.

mooty I don't suppose you'd have a BP le petit prince? I would really like one of those cheap

Good to see some humour on rennlist

Paint the porsche emblem on the hood to save weight then put a brick on your arm to tell (lap?)time? So racecar.

Nizer

on the plus side, it's clear he doesn't spend time on RL. If he did he'd know that those Mg wheels can had for $20k a set aftermarket. Filing this guy under big hat, no cattle.

So BP stands for Blind People who cant read the time on their IPhone.

Got it, fascinating I'm hanging on your lips..

I wonder what the mod community is going to do with this car. I personally have been looking to get individual throttle bodies to increase response. She already has the power.

I love ITB's on NA motors - does it really make as noticeable a difference on a turbo motor? I would have thought the turbo lag would swamp any response changes of the throttle bodies...

Petevb

It makes an even bigger difference on a turbo motor, as for small throttle adjustments the intake plenum can stay pressurized so it's only the small space between the throttle bodies and the valves that need to fill.

I would not try that mod aftermarket on this car, however- the tuning can be very hard to get right so the car doesn't seem jumpy, particularly since the stock ecu is pre-programmed the anticipate the lag. Even the best aftermarket tuners can't match the factory for drive-ability, so if you're going to do mods I'd probably go the whole hog and start with something else. A used base turbo with a 2wd conversion, 4L, suspension mods using many of these parts, etc would likely be faster and cheaper, though I believe you would sacrifice some drive-ability.

GrantG

Cool, didn't know...

GT288

They have something called a quick spool valve as well. Not sure the flange of the factory turbos. But it'll definitely help for those looking for larger turbos. That, coupled with triple ball bearing turbos would be insane!

If I were to modify this car, considering budgets… I would take a 911 turbo $120k used, then lighten, reupholster, rebody to your hearts content with carbon fiber and Alcantara, and then build a bespoke engine with 1000 hp… You'll still come in at 200 K, with a much faster and more unique car. This GT2 is just for the collector and the cars and coffee set… won't get modified

GT288

Well nothing hardcore but basic upgrades. Exhaust, intake maybe a ECU tune. But I agree those larger turbos, fully built motor etc. should be on a 911 Turbo. No not on something like this.

Petevb

That seems a bit harsh. You could also just bolt on Hoosiers, "win" every DD, hillclimb and autocross you enter, then quite possibly still sell it for more than you bought it for. Sure that won't be as much as if you'd kept it in a bubble, but I'd be awfully tempted to drive the crap out of it. More so than a 911R I'd have to say- even if in concept I like the R better, the 2RS is clearly the ultimate tool for a number of jobs.

Of course it's CGT money from just a couple years ago (oh how painful to have missed that boat), and if you could do that instead...
