Daily sports car?

Do you daily your car? And is it awd or rwd?

I daily it during the months where there's no salt on the road. It gets use in light snow, rain etc. when I'm in the mood.

The 911 Turbo (and Turbo S) have been AWD since the 993 (1993-ish). It's "good" AWD in that it is highly rear-biased and it's possible to slide the rear of the car around under power. Mine's a 991.2 which means it's practically a spaceship on wheels ... dynamic roll bar stiffness, dynamic suspension damping, dynamic steering effect, rear wheel steering, three levels of traction control (one is off), dynamic aerodynamics, even dynamic engine mount stiffness.

Gets 8.1-8.5L/100km on the 401 (depends on road and wind heading of course) even with steamroller 315mm rear tires.

In case people don't believe that...

Thank you!
I know Porsche tends to run wider tires in the back but this is good to hear.
I will for sure be running 315's in the rear next time around.

Lol...I consider myself lucky to get 16L/100kms..

Not bad!

This was post tune (460hp/550tq). Pretty happy with these numbers in a dual turbocharged v6.

550 awd Ft/Lb torque....G*damn!

I couldnt find a Hellcat with the manual transmission last year so I ended up picking a Scatpack with the 6 speed that I now want to build up.

Both of my prior factory allocations with Dodge got cancelled mid last year.

I narrowed in on Champion Motors in Scarborough as Rob seems pretty approachable and doesnt have a chip on his shoulder like CJR Performance appears to have. Granted, CJR performance is the only Mopar performance shop here in ON.

Once I have enough to purchase forged pistons, a maggie TVS2650 and fuel pump I'll be asking around again. Comp cams have been backordered for the longest time now and I'm still waiting for my kooks long tube headers to arrive next month

congrats!!

Car wars. 690hp/700tq ... and 7.4L/100km at 90kph.

Not a hint of boost at that speed.

Also,

ECC has tuned the C43 world record holder, since you seem to be heading towards a big build.

To be fair, yours cost about quadruple the Merc. Both are cool cars, just differently cool.

Woken up today by the neighbour pulling out his GT3 touring. If you had the money to burn, that appears to be another great option.

To be fair, mines daily and I'm not wealthy enough to start blowing stuff up. Thankfully the motor responds very well to gains from a simple stage 1 tune. Enough for me!

If it blows your hair back, that's all it exists for anyway. Cheers.

I was always under the impression they had the quiet mode start up option.
iirc even some Mustangs had that as an option..?

It isn't loud but louder than most of the other cars in the subdivision. His R8 has exhaust cutouts and is much much louder. The subarus with exhausts are much louder than the GT3.

Yeah i have performance exhaust on mine, button to control the baffles. If i hold in one of the paddles as i hit the start engine button it always cranks with the baffles completely open. I now have a smattering of meme moments when i jump into other peoples cars and hold the paddle. "Dude what are you doing??"

lol

Yeah. Brake dust is pretty lame.

Next year I'm thinking a wrap and new wheels. We shall see!

At least I could sleep in the wagon.

Profit!

Lets see how the used sports car market is next year as more mortgages become due for renewal at higher rates.

I expect the used sports car / toy market to tank very quickly. Not good for anyone selling motorcycles, boats, toys, secondary properties.

Very good for those that have cash on hand, access to credit, etc.
