Default Can I take a 911 Turbo?

It looks to be a late 90's version 911 Turbo, sounded stock. This punk kid drives around my area quite often, so tonight I rolled up next to him, smiled and threw a rev. He said "It wouldnt be worth my time, bro." With the typical stuck up attitude and a smirk along with it.

I just smiled again and said that i might give him a good run. We were in a busy area so neither of us could do much. However, at the next light he ducked out and got into the tuning lane, so I just left it at that.

My question is could I take him? From a dig? Roll? If I see him again I might press the issue further. One, for a good race, and two, to shut him up. I dont know **** about porsches primarily because they are out of my price range, and I will never have the pleasure of owning one.

Mods are in sig, running on DR's

Take Care, and thanks.

they are AWD and trap 116+

depends on what your car runs.....

id say go from a roll because that thing will rip in 1st and 2nd having good gearing, AWD, and rear engine

If its a late 90s its an air cooled 996 and not all turbos are AWD. Either way it shouldnt be much of a race for a full bolt-on stalled LS1 from a dig.

I think it would depend on drivers and how much traction you can get. If you wanted to make it definate, you could do what everyone here ALWAYS suggests and put a nitrous kit on for very little and embarrass him. If it is the newest version of the turbo, I think they are rated at like 415 and the Turbo S at 444. Both are AWD.

You don't have enough, at least if its a 996 turbo, you don't. They run pretty close to a Z06(have seen races go either way), and you would need around 400RWHP to hang with either of the two. They can trap somewhere in the neighborhood of 119, I believe, and with a skilled driver can be taken to high 11's. As much as I would like to say you could take him, I really don't see it happening with your mods.

I think you would fair alright from a dig if you hook. A cammed/stalled/ bolton LS1 from a dig is nothing to sneeze at.

I should be at 400 with my mods. I made 360 locked before the LS6, ASP, and TD's

I agree, about 400rwhp should be good to hang with him. Those cars are suprisingly heavy.

I have seen a single turbo 996, looks stock, with 680rwhp on street gas. You better watch out. The exhaust does sound funny on the high HP 996 and 911???
