Hey Guys,

I've recently just raced this guy in his stock 2008/9 Porsche Carrera S.... he told me it was a 3.8 flat six

and 'auto'.

But yeah I was just wondering how i ended up beating this guy over this 400m /ish track from standstill??

By time i got to the end and was braking, i was roughly about 2-3car lengths infront... I mean he was giving his Porsche a good

going, i head it behind me.. and it chirping as it changed gears from 1-2 and even 3rd?!

'also note.. this was all done in a controlled enviro too,'

p.s admin if this needs to be moved/removed please do 'so sorry in advance'

Clearly granny shifting and not double clutching like he should........

Ahhh double clutching, incredibly important, especially with todays synchro gear boxes. And you just can not stress enough how important it is to double clutch in an auto or tip-tronic car, absolutely vital.

Lol, i love fast and furious dramatism

350 - 375 hp at the crank,

less 30% loss pf power between crank and rear wheels, a bit more for the AWDs.

I was talking KW's.

I think the Carrera has a viscous diff also?

HAHAHA! Beat me to it ;) Probably blew the welds on his intake manifold?

Carerra S would win hands down on this one. Problem is, guy either doesn't know how to drive it or is affraid to drive it to it's full potential.

There is one other thing to take into account here guys....

what was the road surface like? if rough with stiff springs then he would not get great traction and not use the power...

was the road slightly wet? near oil at all?

tyres any good?

there is too much to say who and why someone would win... i have beaten supercharged big blocks to peoples surprose purely down to traction issues with too much power for the road we were on...

In controlled conditions, not on public roads of course? :)

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
