Title: 850 to 1120 hp Porsches Post by: roy-nexus-6 on June 15, 2009, 03:40:26 PM The speedmeisters at 9ff have taken the already potent Porsche 911 GT2 and transformed it into an 850-horsepower beast decked out in classic Gulf livery that couldn’t be sexier.

Things happen very very fast in that car. Never turn off the traction control unless your in an empty parking lot and never put your foot in it if there are cars in your lane less than 200 yards away. I can't imagine having that much power in a 2 wheel drive car. On a stock GT2 I have eased into the throttle doing about 90 in a straight line and the car stepped out. That wakes you up pretty quick.

That actually sounds like some serious fun ~ JM Title: Re: 850 to 1120 hp Porsches Post by: Porsche Monkey on June 15, 2009, 06:18:09 PM It would have been way more fun if I was still in my twenties.
