On paper, a Porsche Carrera is 1500KG and 230KW-260KW at the flywheel, depending on the model.

Now, I'm wondering how an R33 GTS25-t with 200-220 RWKW would compete, given the cars are approximately the same weight. The R33 has suspension, etc also. What other variables will come into play? How badly will I be beaten?

The Carrera is supposed to run 0-100 in around five seconds. Where can I find a quarter mile time?

I don't believe those specs!

Since when does an R32 GTR take 14.0 secs down the quarter, and more to the point, since when is an R33 GTR (13.9) quicker than a 32?

An RZ SUPRA stops the clocks @ 13.6. A standard Supra Versus a standard GTR does not end in the Supra winning by 1/2 a second.

yeah i dont believe half of those "specs" either, i doubt there even from a reliable source. ( e.g one time at caulder i seen a ferrari get 17 seconds thats heaps slow to any factory specs, quarter mile times depend on the drivers as well, not just the power and weight the car has, coz after all the car doesnt throw itself down the quarter mile does it... ).

the only way you can test to see which car is quicker is to actually go and line up on the quarter..... just coz it says one is quicker than the other on paper doesnt mean much until you've actually gone out and tested to see if its true or not.

new ones are 0-100 in 5.2 I do believe (and that's not the S model) he'll be able to launch @ much higher revs, doesn't have to wait for boost..

mate's dad has a brand new 997 carrera (within the last 2 months).. and damn it's quick..

I still think the porsche would win - having 11" wide rear tires + a thousand tricky gadgets in it that stop things like wheel spin, downforce..

grib levels on a porsche are pretty decent..

here you go - this is for a carrera s -

year - name - 0-100 - 1/4mile

2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S 997 (6 spd Man) 4.1 12.60

1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 4.9 13.40

From my humble experience the carrera will monster the skyline at the very last moment, they have very high mph for some unknow reasons,

Also 2 average drive in the 2 cars mentioned, the skyline will win around a track.

2, experience driver in the same 2 cars, the skyline, be lucky to see the porsche tail lights.

LOL...who cares, ill take the Porsce thanks:)

...but a modded GTST or GTR dont have too many problems against std Carreras at the track...but it depends so much on rubber and whether the Porsches have std exhaust / susp etc.

GT3s and GT2, 996 Twin Turbos etc are another kettle of fish...:D

A mates uncle has a 1996 Carrera 4 NA with exhaust, good rubber, modded comp and intake mods.

I have given him a few highway runs and can walk away from him with about 250kw@wheels easily. The porsches have great top end tho but I am usually 2 far ahead for him to catch me.

I am trying to get him to come to the next sandown or philip island wang day.

Also 2 average drive in the 2 cars mentioned, the skyline will win around a track.

I disagree.

The Porsche is much more tractable than the skyline and the chassis, brakes and suspension are second to none.

I have a mate with a 996(911) Porsche. I had at the time a Supra with 280kw@wheels(running 285 tread) which is much quicker and handles better than a GTSt. I found his car so much easier to drive fast because the traction and handling were amazing.

It's just my though on the car, and my mate didn't have one, but I did, a 2004 carrera 4, also I currently have couple of skylines. I drive them all and knows their handling very well.

Try and put down 300+hp on a carrera on a negative camber apex is like ice skating with roller skates, you look good at first, but, it wont belong before you split your head open.

I've been around a few cars, that I think I can cast a fair judgement, but I would rate my driving ability as average. Where as you might be one of the better driver I'm talking about, and that your ability is actually better than you think.

  • 2 months later...

straight line wise, i had a really good run with a previous model carrera (current model at the time) 2 years back when i still have my R33 (175rwkw)

20 - 16xkm/h is dead even. but rolling start again at 130 he beat me within seconds

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
