the new bedford west time was done by an ex-F1 driver - thats why it was so much
quicker - same with the palmer jag and radical - it's the driver who made the
lap
Laptime at Bedford has to be wrong. There is no way 996T to be 2 secs faster
than ferrari enzo and 4 secs faster than the current 997T. The car also had
450hp and who knows how many other modifications. I think laptimes have to be
better filtered and verified before posted
The Bedford lap seems quick because it was done on the old slightly shorter
config of the track, the current config has a few changes which add around 5
seconds to an average lap.
P.S. if the 450bhp Performance Pack was a Porsche option for the Turbo it could
still be considered stock as its not really a modification if its an original
Porsche offering.
There is no way 911T to be 2 secs faster than enzo.No way. Also i cannot
consider a car with +30hp stock even if mod comes straight from porsche. A new
car has to be created. Also if the course has been changed we have to create a
new track and transfer the laptimes there or just delete them
Why dont you believe Porsche would offer a kit that would add 30hp. Porsche now
offers the optional Carrera Kit for CarreraS and Carrera 4S that bumps power
from 355hp to 381hp thats +26hp. It would be possible for +30hp for 996 Turbo.
The car is stock, it is known and badged as the Turbo S direct from the factory.
Porsche have offered the both the Turbo and the Turbo S model since the early
930 model days. The 3.3 litre Turbo had 300 bhp in Europe and the Turbo S with a
1 bar wastegate (versus 0.8 bar) and larger intercooler had 330 bhp. The 993
Turbo had 408 bhp in Europe and the Turbo 3 420 bhp. Similarly the 996 Turbo had
420 bhp and the Turbo S 450 bhp. All of these were standard Turbo models. This
is of course before we consider yet another standard factoryTurbo model
available since the 993 air-cooled days, the GT2. Which has had an even more
powerful engine and is also rear wheel drive versus the 4 wheel drive twin turbo
models since 993.
All of these are stock.
If you look at the 993, it was standard with 408hp, then there was a factory kit
which was an ECU change(under the dirver seat) took it to 430hp, however this
was still on a pair kkk16 turbos, the TurboS 993 had kkk24 turbos, with an
additional larger front intercooler as used in the GT2. This gave the TurboS
450hp. however you could order a 993 with the larger turbos and ecu and
intercooler so you could have a normal Turbo running 450hp. the options are
reflected on a sticker under the bootlid. So they are all production cars, same
as a car having either leather or cloth seats for example.
Or non-road-legal racing tires?

If in had too guess id say 0-250kmh would be around 23.5, and 0-186 maybe around
51.9? atleast thats my guess.
