hi guys a friend of mine has M5 wants to test with my 996 TT so whats my chances, mine mods r exhuast & headers
we will race from 30KM till 280KM maybe or about 800 meters so whats 996TT chances ?

There's a video of a 996TT vs a new M5, where the TT loses pretty easily: I assume it was a stock car. M5 pulled about 1/2 a car length for every gear he was in until 5 or 6 when he pulled about 1-1.5 car lengths. Not sure what exhaust & headers gives you. A re-flash would probably be more than enough, but it will be close & expect not to win.

Well, it was an M6 (lighter), not an M5. Still, the M6 got the car worse than I thought in 3rd/4th/5th gear, so i'd expect to lose by a margin.

With equal skill, I'd bet on the new M5. Unless you are a shift genius, the paddle shift will gain the BMW a few tenths on each shift.
Isn't 30KM still first gear? You'd need to shift in about one-half second, which is pointless. You will lose a full length right there.
Our cars stock won't even pull peak boost until 3rd gear. The speed range that would work better for you would be the middle of third gear to the middle of 5th. Anyting slower than 60 mph (about 100) is a disadvantage for you. Anything that uses 6th is also pointless. Make sure it's cool, and you have good fuel.
I'm not a modder, but why do the exhaust and headers without a re-program? Seems that the re-program is the effective and cheaper part of the equation. Maybe get that done first, unless it's hard to get in your part of the globe. AS

Sorry, If it's the standard shift M5, I misspoke. I'd still avoid anything using first gear. AS

Standard stick shift not yet out on the M5.

Chances are that you will begin to catch up when he hits the speed limiter.

This thread is getting dangerously close to sounding like a conversation on the Subaru/Mitsu pages. "my STI is modded to max and I kicked a ferrari's *** racing thorugh NYC". It's your car to do as you please but doesn't a tt deserve better than street racing?

Get your Ecu flashed like mentioned above and do not tell your buddy.

I think he is talking about the old M5 not the current.

MarkRobinson

Old M5, you'll get him good. Those dyno about 340 & weigh 4000lbs.

LuisGT3

thanks all well i might keep the 996 TT for another 10 days to sell it hoping if i can get the new 997tt and i wanted to have a happy ending for this amazing car
yet am not sure that an M5 can beat 996 TT maybe that m5 at m5board is modified as i know C6 is slower then the 996TT and this video shows this M5 couldnt beat the C6 here is the link

C6 is NOT slower than the TT, it has been discussed before you need at least 550bhp to keep up with a C6 and only a 550 RUF (approx. 590bhp) and upwards will kill an M5.
