How the hell did Subarus get into the discussion? I love my WRX, but have been a huge Porsche fan for much longer, and would have a tricked out turbo if I could afford it.
Why have i not seen a 997 GT2 in a cool blue color like that. I know the GT3 model comes in some nice exotic colors, why not the GT2. I would think someone out there has gotten a custom paint job but i have yet to see it :(
@monoblocks just for the record Tiff is probably the most talented automotive journalist out there,he is a former touring car driver and he has also driven sports prototypes at le mans.do your research!
ive never driven a porsche but i hear that it feels very heavy in back and light in front. idunno if i like that. porsches are my favorite cars but that kinda scares me. is it true and do you guys like the feel?
The engine is in the back so YES, the back is heavier , but it's more an advantage than an inconvenient: you can brake later and harder and the car is more stable under high speed braking. You can also accelerate earlier at corner exit, you also have a quicker launch, the only thing which is strange is the understeer in slow corners but you can correct it by apply brakes during turning on the first part of the corner. Porsche are not built as others cars so you don't drive them as others cars!
On tarmac that is. A friend of mine (or a friends friend, rather) has a porsche 911 specced as a rally car, and during braking it is incredibly unstable. The back goes mental during braking, due to the necessity of having stronger rear brakes than front brakes. But that said, if you know how to drive it, its incredibly fast. I've never tried it, but I've been sitting in the co-drivers seat and the first thing that hits you is the acceleration, which is just savage.
First time I see this, I've never driven a 911 unstable during braking! He should try a braking repartitor, I think there is too much pressure in rear brakes (which are always less strong, even in a 911)
when you're driving on gravel you need to be able to get the back out without using more power. I suppose you know this allready, though.
Whats a braking repartitor? Do you mean the knob with which one can adjust where the braking should be the strongest? In that case, I'd say every tuned rally car most likely has it.
As said earlier, I've never driven it. I've only been a passenger on gravel, on tarmac I've no idea how it behaves :)
Ahh it is unstable on gravel! We misunderstood each others! I'd say it is quite normal in this case, maybe he has to soften the rear suspension....And yes, I was talking about the knob, I'm French and here, we call this a "répartiteur de freinage" so I translated wrong maybe! and not every car have it, unfortunately for the drivers because it is very useful! And on tarmac, a 911 (993, 996 or 997) are just incredible on braking, especially on high speed ones!
This is from back in the late 90's I think in the Old Topgear series. It's filmed at an Airport to the south of London I think and they are always pulling old planes apart for parts etc, i'm pretty sure but I could be wrong.
Tiff Needell did use to be on the old series of Top Gear though. Love 5th Gear though :). Fifth Gear is on Five as well not BBC so it's from the old Top Gear series.
Called the 993GT2 'EVO' as the 'EVO' name was referring to the 'evolution' of the further motorsports development of the GT2. A special version was built by Porsche containing around 800hp, but never made it to the track due to new regulations. EVO cars were producing around 600hp. Serious machinery!!! Love the 993GT2! Best cars ever!
@simon172172 you smartass, with some simple adjustments porsche CAN compete in the wrc, in the past a team used porsches 959 in the dakar twice, and they won twice so don't gonna think your subaru is a fast car, it's a freaking toy
Tiff is the best! His enthusiasm is fantastic and he's a damn good driver. I have a similar custom Evo - built on a 1977 chassis with 700hp 3.4L turbo motor pushing 2200lbs. Big adrenaline rush!
easy, only 12Hp less but about 200Kgs lighter, a race gearbox and massive downforce...guess who wins? the 993 GT2 with no doubt, but only on a track with a big ball guy, forget to drive it on the road! lol
very ridiculously sized spoiler and very serious performance but the only real complaint I have are those racing seat belts, could you imagine the pain you'll be in once you get a hard on down there, especially if the belts are strapping between your crotch
ok, first off, you've obviously never seen a le mans prep'd car. And you clearly have never driven a purpose built car...because the last thing on your mind while your tires are breaking loose around a bend is your cock...
for ever what dont know... this evo version , have the 911 GT1 engine , the most brutal 993 ever made
