wow that 964 Kevlar engine bay looks the goods. Is that how you are planning yours Macca? Love that and 400hp all the better

 

Graeme. I do wish but that Kevlar finished engine is a real work of art and absolute one off.

If I hit the lotto numbers I would be sending the engine to USA so it came back looking like this-

Dyno is for a 964 engine on pump gas running air con. Picture is the 993 3.85L version which output 410 bhp and 317lbft torque.

Note all dyno figures are from an engine dyno at factory specification thus absolutely accurate crank figures. Rothsport have their own engine dyno room and its a a very beautiful thing!

 

I wish I could have taken this afternoon off and done the Uncles secession.....amazing weather today..........

Looking forward to Saturday and Sunday..........

 

Just looked at the long range weather forecast - it's raining on Sat and Sun - burger!!!

 

Macca - what does an engine like that cost??

 

Sub $60K 997..........they are coming down............

(I know it's a UK import with highish k's - but still......)

No problem, that's where the turbo comes out to play

 

Hey bud,

Lovely engine. I had noticed that you had deviated away from the 9M package a wee while ago. Why do you favour the Rothsport more over the 9M packages?

 

I saw that - bit of a new benchmark being set. If its in good nick that's a hell of a daily driver for $57k.

 

You must be talking about the 996T, your 964T is violent in the dry, never mind the wet..........

 

Agreed - another 12 months and this will be the norm.

I have watched this one drop from $95K to probably sub $70K (after negotiation) over the past 12 months. It gets serviced at the same place as mine. Silver over black, NZ new - C2S manual - should be quite desirable??

Yes, the Turbo 3.6 is not a wet day car, even less so with 10 yr old tyres. Right now, it has donated its seats and hydraulic pressure switch to the C4 so no chance it would be out even if dry. Lets hope it is dry because I can't incrementally improve if I change cars all the time. Mind you the 996tt has new pads and SRF so should make me look good. Pedal to the metal and go. No need to take hands off the wheel in the whole lap.

 

Yeah mate - you should be into the 1.19's by the end of Sunday?

 

Lotto money. The 400 bhp version running on Motec M84 with the 997 Cup dual centre exit exhaust would be 55k usd excluding freight in and out....

Jamie. I spoke with Colin. I called Steve Wiener and spent 40 mins of the phone with him and now Im talking with Jeff at Rothsport. Its taken years to udentify perhaps these three. Will take years more before anything happens too!

 

Yeh right. I spent last night writing course notes based on Peter's fastest lap, but it all boils down to a simple strategy. On the throttle for longer, brake harder but carry more speed through turns 1,2 and 10.
