I think I understand the gist of your question. I’m sure it’s “possible” but I doubt that many would want it to be done if it was.

Sounds like a snowflake overreaction. Go Bruins did not call the OP anything - just provided a definition of OP's handle. Just my 2 cents...

Agreed. If someone shows up with the user name NAMBLA, that might draw a few comments as well.

No. He wants to drive in 8th gear and be able to floor it and make the car accelerate like a bat out of hell from 2000 RPM or something. And now this last one takes the cake. Sofa King crazy.
Agree with you. Insanity running wild here.

To clarify I did not get offended or anything like that. I did not think he called me a "pedo". However I do appreciate you potentially calling it out!

I didn't call the thread starter a pedophile. I just pointed out that his name was an English slang term for it. That fact, coupled with his interesting photo avatar, and the odd question of spending lots of money for an S or GTS, then detuning it with the goal of making his own 911 T, made me think he was playing us all for fools. That's what trolling is (among other things). By the way, notwithstanding Mr. Nonce's protests to the contrary, it still seems that way. All that being the case, this thread is amusing.

OP's question is why Porsche built the 911T in the 991 generation (a base 991 engine with some doodads from the higher C2S/GTS trims like adaptive suspension, shorter 3.59:1 final-drive ratio, a limited-slip rear differential, sport chrono package that keeps the dynamic engine mounts and steering, etc.)

So even though the OP may be pranking all of us, there is a market for his (assuming the OP is a "he") query.

Sure, you can detune the engine. I do it all the time. In my town the speed limit is 25 and I do it every day - imagine that - I can go barreling down at 100+ mph but I apply less gas and the engine makes just enough power to move me at 25 mph. And I am proud to say I spent no money on this neat trick. Just a bit of coordination with the right foot.

Or you can just put in 87 octane fuel.

Yes, a few tanks of 87 will do it.

And get a 250-300lb friend in the passenger seat.

You can't achieve what you want with a tune, at all. The feel comes from smaller quicker spooling turbos.. Go buy base model turbos, install them, then tune it like a stock base model. You need the hardware. Software only won't work.

Also, what strain of mushrooms/psilocybin are you on? Hit me up.

Yes, this is a waste of time. No one prefers the "base" to the S. There are plenty of threads where people think the base is enough, and it does make plenty of power so that's fair. It all comes down to how much people are willing to spend and what they are willing to spend for.
