In Finland, our maximum legal road speedlimit is only 120km/h
..but fortunately we have some special happenings like SpeedParty.
Purpose of the competitive is get as high top speed as possible on 1.8 km distance. Braking happens after that distance.
Here are few records from result list:
Car Best(km/h)
Toyota Supra JZA80 BLITZ 1994 303
Fiat X 1/9 Bertone 301
Porsche 911 Turbo (996) 293

I know that here(RL) are also very fast 993TTs. Can some of you test your car's high speed with that distance? ..just wondering what kind of possibilities I will have on that competition. My project will be ready for summer..
Best Regards

Fiat X1/9 Bertone----> 301 Km/H??? I used to race them and beat them with my skateboard when I was a kid (about 2 years ago)!

There are some tests for a mile run (1.6Kms) I don't know of any showing 1.8Kms..

Stock 996TT went 293 kph
and

Gemballa 996TT (GTR600) went 265 ????

Fiat Race car on acid looks like quite the "ride"
Fiat race car shown above with ??? engine == 0-178 in 30 seconds (very fast)
Recent 0 - 1 mile test that compared several street cars, tuner cars and a couple race cars:
RUF R Turbo (driven 4 hours to test site) == 0-180 in 28.6 seconds (1 mile)
Lambo Murcielago == 0-168 in 30.9 seconds (1 mile)

Vortech supercharged mustang == 0-179 in 30.4 seconds (1 mile)

Jean: I have understood that you have very quick 993TT. Can you, for example, make this 1.8km acceleration/topspeed test? It should be easy with that AX22 device? It could be good reference value for fast 993TT..

Kaizu

The 996TT was X50 with mods.

The Gemballa is not a 996TT, it is a 996 GT3 with Gemballa's GTR600 motor (that kind of car did a lap time of 7.32.x (same as CGT!!) at the Nürburging in 2001 (driver was Wolfgang Kaufmann)...
Anyway I was told and I've seen a small vid that the car at the speedparty did only 265km/h because it was at the rev limiter! (I have no idea why it would have such short gear ratios installed...guess it accelerates crazy)

js-911, can you tell me something about your car (got a modded 996tt in the garage here in Finland) via PM or mail

Jean

js
I don't have any such acceleration run unfortunately. I also never try top speed runs as I do not really believe in what they prove. If you have the complete runs we can benchmark other measurments in between?.

Hello

One more from Finland joining.. The Gemballa GTR 600 should definetly have joined the top of the list, but as mentioned earlier the car is Uwe Alzens old GT3 with Rear wheel drive. The car has had some problems with the engine electronics... can that be the cause?

I´m also intrested in your cars specs js-911, post some info! Will you get the car running the coming summer? (summer, well snowing at the moment and the first autocross is due in 2 1/2 weeks...)

Jean

If the car was Uwe Alzen's, most likely it needs an engine rebuild, not just electronics!

Seba911

It was in good order when brought to Finland Due high taxes on cars it was first brought here and then registerd and taxed as a C4, whichafter shipped back to Germany for the rebuild.
