Yep:

996FLT6

^ have u done base laptimes with car? With such a short wheelbase is it easy to navigate thru a track? Mike

my god, that car is so sweet !

I'm presuming you used the NASA race scales to scale your car ?
If so I wouldn't count on the corners being correct only the total weight, and even total weight will vary slightly from scale set to scale set.
The "official" race scales are just used for compliance for racers meeting min. weight. They never level them, they constantly are moving them,and the surface they are on is not near level. Any one of those will thru the corner weights off, all three combined and who knows where it really is.

Is this the 912 that WEVO was working on for so long? Never saw the finished product before. Thanks.

Sorry for prolonging the diversion.

I don't have it dialed in with baselines at big tracks yet. So far it hasn't done a full day at the track, and all that can be said is that it's faster on street tires than the 911-spec cars are on RA-1s.

911 Spec cars run 2:00 at Thunderhill, 1:48s at infineon- 2400 lbs, limited to about 210 hp at the wheels and 225/245 RA-1 tires.

I'm at 2x that power to weight, 30% better tire to weight, and I have a GT3 Cup rear wing for better aero at the big track. The car is obviously considerably faster than a 911 spec car, but exactly how much isn't yet known.

At the autocross I'm generally a couple seconds quicker than SCCA SuperStock GT3s, and somewhat quicker than a 500 whp SCCA 996 GT2 (w penskis, etc). The car is still being sorted, however, and is admittedly still a handful.

The main difference I feel between the 996/997s and this car is braking, turn-in and corner entry. The new cars turn in much better and yet have infinitely more stability at entry, especially under trail-braking with ABS. This car, if it's set up to turn in decently, currently does occasionally attempt to kill you on entry, and you can't carry the entry speed due to that. We're working on that now with some revised suspension geometry at the rear, but it's only been out a handful of times so far and it's going to take a year to fully sort I suspect.

Yes, this is the WEVO car.

Thanks for the pic Petevb, that's quite a sight.

I was curious as to what weight a 996TT would compare.
2001, Full tank no driver, with spare tire and rear seats removed. OZ 18" wheels
FL: 679 FR: 592
RL: 1035 RR: 1079
Total 3385

+190 (me) = 3575 lbs
