That was a shitty, quick picture. I've been dealing with having half my house gutted from the freeze bursting a pipe over my kitchen so my side yard hasn't been properly maintained and it's a little embarrassing to take a pic of the car in pathetic surroundings. Nah, that makes sense. Good luck with your house! Thanks man. Looking like 6mo before finishing. I needed a remodel anyway

Here is a scan of an aged Instamatic 110 print of the first new Porsche I bought. 1974 914 2.0. I was 21, single, and had a good job. I think it was about $6400.00 but maybe was a couple hundred more - I forget.

So, admittedly, I’m new to the 911. Every expectation had been exceeded.
That said, after watching countless YouTube videos, how does the 911 continuously outperform cars on the track and drag strip with 100-200 more hp? There are many theories that Porsche under reports hp and torque. That’s the only thing that makes sense. Or, is it purely power to weight and hp to the ground? |

Personally for me it was the ease, and confidence of the car. Drove a 458 and a Cayman GTS around a track back to back and the Cayman was FAR easier to navigate around a corner. GT3 was the same way a year later it gives you the confidence to push it JUST a bit farther. |

There are many theories that Porsche under reports hp and torque. That’s the only thing that makes sense. Or, is it purely power to weight and hp to the ground? It's a fast car in the real world. I had mine out last week for the first time since they salted the roads (four times since, but the first is always special). My daily is a Mini Cooper JCW, which has significantly more power and torque on paper. Driving home from work, every time I put my foot down the back tires were stepping out. It's really muscle memory from daily in the JCW, but the SC just lays down so much more torque, the tires get spinning. . The only mods on the SC are exhaust, tuning and some judicious lightening.The 911 gives more feedback through the wheel than anything I've driven. There aren't many cars you can steer with the throttle on the street without getting completely anti-social, but that's my 911. My last sports car before the 911 was a pretty hot TVR. On paper, the TVR looked good. Pure 0-60, it took the 911. (It was my only street car that would lift the front tires off the pavement leaving a stop). Maybe a better driver would be faster on a twisty road or track in the TVR, but I wasn't. The TVR always needed mechanical (or electrical) attention - the 911 has been a tank, reliability wise.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Lost-Drive-In: It's a fast car in the real world. I had mine out last week for the first time since they salted the roads (four times since, but the first is always special). My daily is a Mini Cooper JCW, which has significantly more power and torque on paper. Driving home from work, every time I put my foot down the back tires were stepping out. It's really muscle memory from daily in the JCW, but the SC just lays down so much more torque, the tires get spinning. . The only mods on the SC are exhaust, tuning and some judicious lightening.The 911 gives more feedback through the wheel than anything I've driven. There aren't many cars you can steer with the throttle on the street without getting completely anti-social, but that's my 911. My last sports car before the 911 was a pretty hot TVR. On paper, the TVR looked good. Pure 0-60, it took the 911. (It was my only street car that would lift the front tires off the pavement leaving a stop). Maybe a better driver would be faster on a twisty road or track in the TVR, but I wasn't. The TVR always needed mechanical (or electrical) attention - the 911 has been a tank, reliability wise. Same for me. Backdating the exhaust was by far the best bang for the buck upgrade I’ve done. It completely transformed the car. Here’s a video I made trying to convince a buddy to do the same thing.  Porsche 911 SC 3.0 with SSI heat exchangers and M&K sport 2 in 1 out muffler. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By vetmotox: So, admittedly, I’m new to the 911. Every expectation had been exceeded. That said, after watching countless YouTube videos, how does the 911 continuously outperform cars on the track and drag strip with 100-200 more hp? There are many theories that Porsche under reports hp and torque. That’s the only thing that makes sense. Or, is it purely power to weight and hp to the ground? Mainly traction, grip and braking (specifically excellent brake bias, suspension, geometry and weight distribution out of the box) - Porsche do not under report their HP and tqe figures, their engines are run out using very tight HP/tqe tolerances. This has been shown many times when cars have been put on sophisticated MAHA dynos that look at run down (sometimes called towing) losses. If you want an accurate perspective look at the German literature e.g. Sport Auto. Currently run a 991.2 GT3 RS in national level tarmac rallys and give away up to 300 HP/300nm torque. The most important parts of driving fast are training and seat time not HP and tqe. |
