Incredible driving by David Donohue this year at the 102nd annual Pikes Peak International HIll Climb. This car posted a time of 9:49.429. which was the fastest car in the Time Attack 1 Class and also the fastest Porsche this year up Pikes Peak. This run took 7th place overall. Congrats to David who drove this M-Engineering tuned 911 Turbo R running M-Tuner up the mountain and to the amazing team behind this including Porsche Colorado Springs and BBi Autosport. Looking forward to next year's mountain run already.
The Stage 2 cars make around 20whp or so more than Stage 1. Due to exhaust emissions reasons, we don't normally toss up Stage 2 graphs but we may add some on there soon.
Stage 2 is when you upgrade link pipes on the car from the factory components. A catback portion is not a requirement for Stage 2. We have had the best power gains testing SOUL Performance products on the exhaust side.
We are excited to get our hands on our 992.2 GTS, Mint is going to look fresh! Looking forward to this new platform and possibilities.
What wheels should we do? Gold Advan GT?
I’m sure this has been answered elsewhere… what is the cold start for, and what does its elimination impact for those of us that have actual cold temps in the winter? Anything harmful if it’s removed and you fire it up at -10 in January?
Factory cold start is in place to more quickly warm up the catalyst. Most guys who remove the loud cold start have aftermarket exhaust and link pipes and don't like to disturb their neighbors with a loud car. It's important if you eliminate it that you let the car more fully warm up. This is okay in colder climates, you just will need more warmup time. If anything, a more gradual warmup is better for the engine if coming from a really cold condition.
