Default THE best 500+hp 993tt

Please buy the magazine: Total 911

The test was against an old Ruf 930 which was well, old... the other car was a 996GT2 which had had some cheap mapping done to it such that it lit the tyres up every time the boost came in - might appear fast but this very car came to a vmax day and managed a very mediocre 184mph which is about the same as a stock 996GT2.....

The 993 on the other hand, as I always knew, is a very special car








Close up for those like me who are begining to squint a bit

Hey Toby--the article says "580HP(claimed)" -- why didn't you put it on a dyno?? LOL

Great story btw -even if it does sound familiar.

I know..... funny, particularly when the 996GT2 also had a (claimed) 650hp and performed at vmax like a 460hp car

Isn't it like a proud father seeing his son at the football field? I know it is bittersweet for you as that was one hell of a car!

Its not sold yet Gene.....

What I really miss is the close gear ratios, reving out in gears 1 to 4 and still only doing 120mph, attempting the same in the 7 takes you the wrong side of 140 !
