Switzer P800 now available for Tiptronic Turbos, 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds

It tops out at 253mph? I didn't realise that...

it says 2.8 !!! not 3.0 or 3.1 obvious some GTR fan...

No actually I'm a huge Porsche fan. I just get annoyed with tuning companies claiming numbers from 0-60 rather than 0-62.

Who cares lol? Its like the same thing. Oh yeah and FIY, Turbo 911's can take boost pretty good unless 9ff gets its hands on it so no worries of a blowup. Oh yeah and that isn't even a bad deal for a transmission like that.

@Dragos I take it you live in an area where performance figures are based on 1-100km/h are readily used? Well...Switzer is an American firm so 0-60mph would be what these guys deal with 99.9% of their time. It has to be understood... Usually the two figures are nomially close though aren't they?

LOL! Believe it or not, I enjoy your comments. You are right, we should post 0-100, 0-200 times, etc. along with 0-60. As for blowing up, the P800 is a mild tune for us, built to run safely and effectively at 800 hp on 93 octane pump gas. In all our packages, "P" stands for "Pump fuel", and designates "daily driver" status ... the R911, for example, is a 900+ hp car on "Race" fuel (109 octane or better). Sometimes you will see P800/E900, which indicates power levels at pump and ethanol, etc.

YES!! The office is actually split between "GTR" guys and "Porsche" guys pretty evenly.

The new version (PDK) is a much lesser car than the 997.1. The 996 tt and 997.1 tt were based on the old GT1 engine program, and the case, pistons, rods, etc. could take ENORMOUS pressures before being stressed to a breaking point ... we have several 1000 hp cars to prove this. The new 997.2 motor uses some software tricks to get the most of the power it is making, and is essentially a blown version of the "corporate" flat 6 used in the Boxster and C2 ... nowhere near the durability of the 997.1 ... these power levels aren't feasible on the 997.2 for this reason.

thanks for the link, Jo. i know about the GT1 engine, but i didn't know it was that tough. i thought the new direct injection engine with the faster gearbox would have more potential. this explains why Porsche used the old 3.6 engine on the new GT2 RS.

i don't want represent anyone, and don't even like porsche or nissan just reading some posts and cannot believe that poeple say stupid things like making things look bad if they hate some car...and outside the US, measure acceleration from 0-100 km. 100 km is roughly equal to 62 mph. It's easier to convert 100km to 62mph so that's the way some report it...btw i didn't answer and that doesn't mean is don't know the answer, you are also OFFTOPIC! -with correction of 62mph or 100km/h again you got the same numbers because it is difference just a fcking 3km/h
