Who would win? Stock, the 911 comes with around 325hp, so I know the odds are in it's favor. If so, what would it take to beat one? Would I stand a chance with my current mods? I'm not talking about the S model either. That thing does 0-60 in 4.4s!

Road & Track had the S doing 0-60 in 3.9, i think they had the regular carrera around 4.4. Itd take a lot to beat one of those. Not to mention they are probably a lot easier to drive fast.

I just looked up the R & T review online. Here's what they said.

Because the awd Carrera is based on the rwd 911, both models share the same interior and also the same powerplants — a 325-bhp, 3.6-liter engine on the base C4 and a 355-bhp, 3.8-liter version on the 4S. According to the factory, the base Carrera 4 goes from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 5.1 seconds, while the S takes 4.8 sec. to reach the same speed. Top speeds are 174 mph and 179, respectively.


Sounds pretty close to a GT...

You're talking about the all wheel drive versions now. You didn't mention that initially, and the RWDs are faster. Not to mention that most of the ones you would come across on the street would be RWD. http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?se...3&page_number=3 3.9sec . I didn't think itd be that big of a difference between RWD and AWD though.

By the way, I love your car. Black is where it's at.

The Porsche would murder the mustang.

Lennyb44

That would be my inclination also.
What are the comps for GVW?

Rebel73

hmmmm,

guess it's supercharger time..

Rebel73

dang, I didn't think it would be that much difference either. I guess it's all the extra weight from the AWD system. Grrrr, know I know where my tax return money is going. Vortech, here I come!!

Oh an thanks, BLACK does rock!!

it will probably be easy to keep up w/ one in a straight line. good luck if there is a bend in the road. for the base carrera most times are 4.8 0-60 and 13.3 in the 1/4

The Porsche will kill you in every arena unless you go the SC route and even then you may not have much of a chance. Those cars are awesome. If there's any bend in the road all you will see is tail lights. But keep your racing on the track please.

They just opened up a new Porsche dealership in my town...I got to sit in and crank up a 911 Carrera S: black w/ tan interior...all I can say is It is the finest car I have ever sat it...the sticker was well over 100 big ones...i think the Porsche would probably beat the mustang

JeffreyDJ

Carrera without a question.

Yeah the Porsche is better but you are comparing a 25k car to a 100+k car.

But i would rather own the Mustang..

Rebel73

Are we talking about the same Porsche? It sounds like you're talking about a higher end Porsche like a 911 Turbo. The numbers for a GT and a BASE Carrera are not that far off. With my current mods, I think I could give one a run for its money. I agree stock for stock a GT will get beat, although not by as much of a margin as you imply, but you're saying even an SC may not even the odds? I doubt it. As far as the twisties, no argument there.

ScottyBoy302

Are you serious? At worst it would be avery close race with a Carrera and a supercharged stang. More likely it would be a win by the stang, the Carrera S would be another story though.

Its all about the weight transfer in the drag. Its already above the wheels in the 911. These are very difficult cars to drive properly though, cause they understeer like a FWD, but swing out the rear like a FR car at the corner exit (oversteer).

Don't forget that all the boxer-engine Porsches sound like 1960s VW Beetles (gack). Boo-urns for a $100k+ car. Rather have a mustang, or a 928 S4.
