Porsche Carrera (approx.)

1600 kg, max torque 450 Nm, max power 370PS.

 

Aero, power / torque to weight, drive wheels, tyres, weight distribution, not to mention the driver, all have a bearing on acceleration and top speed.

 

Much as I love the Octy, and as apathetic to Porsches as I am, unfortunately there's no doubt that even a "standard" 911 would trash even a reasonably well-tuned Octy. Unless the Porsche driver wasn't trying.

Sorry, dude. Hear what you're saying and don't doubt you, but a Cayman is not a 911.... Have you got the same figs for a 911...?

OK the 493bhp Porsche 911 GT3 costs £113,857 and weighs slightly more than my Octavia and produces its 460NM at 5,000revs instead of my car's 2,800revs. It has the 4.0 litre normally aspirated engine which will rev to an insane 9,000revs.

Rear drive and 300ish width tyres will put the power down better...

 

At the end of the day, we drive front drive family cars with decent engines. They don't have track-focussed competition components in them.

365bhp and 1,600kg gives power to weight ratio of 228bhp per tonne. My Octavia has 220bhp per tonne. I never said the 911's were new cars anyway. They were 2006 to 2008 cars with between 325 to 345bhp.

Have you watched the 75 year old chap on you tube who drives a 64 plate Golf R dsg WITH a huge turbo technics uprated turbo, intercooler, airbox etc. It produces just under 600bhp and has raced his son's Audi RS6 at Santa Pod. Check it out for a sleeper.

Plenty of folks on this forum with 220/230 have probably been in a modified Octy with around 300bhp will testify that when you are moving at 30mph and accelerate in 2nd gear (upto 70mph) and then 3rd gear (upto 100mph) the experience usually surprises your passenger so much they don't know how to describe it. Standard MK7 Golf Gti car drivers cannot understand why my Car leaves them trailing behind.

Hi Tim have done all those mods you mentioned before and if so what were the results. Sorry you found my comments so boring, this wouldn't be the case if you were sat in my passenger seat rest assured.
