Default Shout out to Kevin @ UMW....what did you do to my car?...sincere thanks

2005 tts cab and tip

My 996 has Kevin's tune and catless, that's it....stock otherwise. A creampuff driven 90% by wife with kids.

I drive a 2013 Shelby GT500. Stock with drag radials only. A 662 hp from factory freight-train.

Did some 40mph pulls on a vacant highway over and over and the 996 not only beat the GT500 but repeatedly annihilated it almost like it was standing still.

How is this possible? Anyone wanna buy a nice GT500?

(GT 500 at dealer now/checking it out....really)

thanks
Joe

Tune and catless makes huge difference haha

Porsche always good at doing more with less. Efficient speed. Very impressive that it pulls on GT500, not a slow car...

GT500 is a beast but they can't put the power down like the 996 can... traction issues. The magazine times they get in them are a FAR cry from the real world with non-professional drivers. (or I'm an idiot and your car has the flu)

It happens to the Ford at the track too, go to 2:40:

Not sure what year the one in my video is, but it had engine mods, suspension mods, cage, was running Torco and NT-01's.

Our cars are capable beyond what many expect from something 17 years old.
Especially after work with Kevin at UMW

Went out again. Trying to make sense of this. This time I was driving the Shelby No clear winner dead even. Guess im done "breakin the law"

Shelby was at dealer for state inspection, no codes so she's not sick.... What is "sick" is this 996 TTS more than holding its own in this new climate of modern ultra high hp supercharged V-8's

.......and from a dig? Fogettabout it /all Porsche.

There are few cars around that can stick with a flashed 996TT.

Imagine how how ridiculous they become with new turbos at1.3bar or more.

Im not surprised with your outcome. It's just math. These cars can make big power and deliver it well.

Kevin's tune was the best investment I've made! Add exhaust and it's just keeps getting better!

my flashed car with 16/24 hybrids (should be similar power as your 24s) with basic exhaust and cats has been dyno'd three times. 625, 650ish and 712 at the wheels. Realistically ithe 700hp dyno was probably very high. Who cares about the gear but a stock 996TT is close to 200mph. Your flashed car will probably do 200+.

Why is that hat a mad world?

.....just that essentially a 20 y/o design flashed 996tt can make a modern Hellcat or GT500 virtually seem foolish at exactly their own game they were built for...madness in a good way tho.
