new 911 turbo

[jamesA]

It'll be the 2007 Z06, and there are rumors that it'll either be a 500 hp LS7 or a 625 hp 427ci small block.


edit: but I think it'll keep pace pretty well.

a 240sx has 140 hp.
a wrx has 225
an sti has 300

yeah, real similar power bud

I'm sure that the corvette and viper probably have a deeper torque curve down low being larger displacement engines....although I could be wrong because the forced induction helps to even things out. 

And the answer why GSXs get the jump on F bodies all the time is because F bodies are making far more torque thats going to make the tires spin much harder and for traction to be more of an issue.  A GSX only makes 210hp if its a second generation and around the same numbers in torque, F bodies depending on the year on in the high 200's to mid 300's.  That may have been a bad example but still, i dont think very much is lost in traction issues launching in RWD versus AWD.  AWD is obviously far better for handeling but I dont think theres a huge difference in the launches in an awd car versus a rwd car.

Yeah, so the more powerful 911 turbo will still get the jump off the line compared to the more power Viper and Vette too.

And yes, drag racing 911s is stupid.

Not if you have a limitless bank account. If I was like all the other guys racing porsches down the road, I wouldn't be caught dead in an econobox.
