A V8 supercar driven on the limit only does just over 270 despite exiting turn 18 much faster and tipping into turn 1 much much faster Perhaps aero drag has something to do with it. Big aero lots of down = force fast corner exit but slower straight line speed. It’s a balancing act for car setup. “Usually” more downforce = faster lap but slower max speed on straights. Races are won in corners not straights. So 300 can not be ruled out based on comparison to a V8 Supercar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero is part of it but the corner speed differential would be more to do with the tyres in this case. V8 supercars' power to weight is also >50% better than the turbo. I stand by my comment. It will not do near 300. I have lapped SMSP thousands of times over the past 25 years in many different cars, street cars and race cars.

mc968cs Posted 10February, 2023 Report Share Posted 10February, 2023 It has expanded a lot since that first raceway was built. It now has - 4 circuit configurations and ability to run two circuit at once, -skipan - drift circuit - off road training area - decent cafe area too but the new name just isn’t very memorable is it.

What happened to your anything over 150k for a manual 997 turbo is unrealistic in order for some movement to happen. Is that a typo in the ad and its a manual not a tipper.

smit2100 Posted 17February, 2023 Report Share Posted 17February, 2023 3 hours ago, on_booost said: Tipper Import in Meteor Grey 🤑 just listed.... $158K...... Based on a ratio analysis using'@911virgin's pricing guide, thats got some sizeable monthly cuts before it gone in 60 seconds. 997 .1 oz delivered manual turbo 150k adjustment for tipper= (20) yes the brackets is a deduct Adjustment for rusty import (26) [130 x 0.2] But reality is probably less rusty than those oz delivered locally beauties holed up in Bondi /Manly. Benchmarch price for a sale = 104k @Joz In terms of how low will they go, based on the above, clear down grade to a 996 tipper so thats (20) from the 130 ( yours oz delivered right) and your rubber bits and splitter are suspect so thats a another (5) deduct. I'd get ready to offload yours for a trade up at basically no extra cost. 3 hours ago, on_booost said: Tipper Import in Meteor Grey 🤑 just listed.... $158K......

t888 Posted 17February, 2023 Report Share Posted 17February, 2023 So while we're doing calculus, what's this 996tt tiptronic cab worth? The ad doesn't say whether it's an import or not (vin seems to decode to europe market?) Currently up at $108k after a few price drops. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2003-porsche-911-turbo-996-auto-awd-my04/SSE-AD-13778121/?Cr=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
