How fast is my new 991 TTS? URBAN LEGEND ALERT

I think I did but I've posted a lot of vids so I don't know in which thread it sits. And it might have been a non S????

Was it this one?

No but that serves the same purpose. I think I have seen one where that same orange McClaren races a white 991TTS on that same service road. Looks like a local drag strip/street racing spot.

It was only 80 F and so the ET is better as is the trap speed.

1.6s 60ft for 10.9 125.1 mph.

60-130 was 8.89

Definitely better on a better road. Probably shave .2s of ET and add 2-3mph when it's cooler in October.

Adding the standing half mile as well. The place where I ran this is just about a mile long and has a big jump up at one end so I can easily get a 1/2 mile test but not the one mile in one direction. I didn't try the one mile test in the other direction because I picked up the nail after the second run I think.

The other thing about the Porsche is that the speedo is much closer to actual than the M5. When I put the brakes on I was doing 168 and the Vmax on my vbox data says 167.8.

The Porsche definitely doesn't feel as fast above 125 as the M5. When I hit 120 with my modded M5, the car seems to really start pulling harder and I think that could be the CAI. Of course the TTS has the scoops built in, you can see them on the side of the car.

Yes but Dinan is there too as well and of course it's V8 vs flat 6. I am in the process of getting a quote on the GIAC tune. Looks like it's a three day deal. They have to mod the PDK computer too and that has to be taken out and shipped to GIAC.

I saw a 7.9 out of my car at the Pocono roll race event but never bothered looking further back and gave the vbox back to its owner. I know it can do low 7s on race fuel and 5 psi over. Just need conditions to be perfect.

Looks like I need to run into a 991 turbo and break hearts.

Also did you happen to notice the Aventador's 60' time? It was 1.902s. That is what you call a "very soft launch" for an AWD drive vehicle with that kind of power.

You have a fast car...but you are coming off as being somewhat of a "bragger". One video of an Aventador being soft launched and still putting a nearly 6 mph higher trap speed down (closer to 7mph if they are using time lights to calc trap speeds rather than GPS) is not going to convince many people that your car is "faster".

LOL! No, I didn't pay attention to the trap speed but the Porsche won and I know my Vbox numbers were better than the ones posted by the Aventador. It was obvious it didn't do as well as it should have from the start, he might not have used launch control but this is just for fun anyway.

When I get done with the mods I am planning for my car, it will take the Aventador on the top end too. The Porsche doesn't need 700hp to post a higher trap speed, probably 625 will do the job and I am pretty sure I will have that much when I am done if not a bit more.

Car & Driver uses a vbox as well...I don't think you are topping an Aventador above 60mph even with a 65hp bump:

From 60-150mph: 11.0s (14.0 - 3.0)

Right now it looks like you are 3 seconds off that pace.

I will post again after I have the car modded and re-run, you can be sure of that.

After you finish w it William I know it's gonna be a fast one.
