I ran some roads with Bill S., and let me tell you, Ruf's 490 horses must be on PCP and steroids.

The 0-150 time for his Turbo R in about 15 seconds is about right. Trust me, I've witnessed it.

I must admit that I am bias for saying this. But I think for the money the hands down winner for performance is "EVO" and the price is right.

Heya Chad,

I ran 11.6 @ 124 with the stock pirellis, with just a chip and a K&N filter. Going to sport cups actually slowed me down. Made my launches worse, probably because they require so much heat to get sticky. Since our cars don't do burn outs, I wouldn't expect good 60 foot times with Sport Cups. Now the DRs on the other hand, will fair better for you...

<strong>Duane,

I have no experience to make a guess. However, according to two magazine articles the 720 hp AutoThority did 11.8 @ 129 mph and the 650 hp Enzo did 11.1 @ 133 mph. Both cars were on regular street tires. Not DOT legal Cup's, Corsa's or drag radials.

Does anyone know how much quicker a car should be with a good driver on Cup's or drag radials versus regular street tires?</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">

ROFL ok let me rephrase that, most 996TTs don't do AWD burnouts

PS I am sure you will get better 60 foot times with the BFGs. Sport Cups performed worse for me than PZeros for that purpose... But I love the handling capabilities of the Cups. Turns, turns turns!

What do you mean by "our cars don't do burnouts?" Tell that to Dave Colman. <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" /> </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">
