Pt vs 911 targa
|
Can't Post
|
|
I come from a family where we own fine cars. this is my 4th diamler chryler product. I think this may be a car to last me. in addition to this I have preaveously owned
96 Mercedes Benz 300E
99 Chrysler Town&Country LX
03 Dodge Stratus R/T xtreme coupe
and now my PT.
I plan on modifying the engin a little bit (it's a GT turbo already) and taking it out and racing it against my other car a 1973 Porscha 911. If I am able to beat that I will post the mods, speeds and times, if not well I won't say anymore about it. Any ideas for mods, both engine and body wise, would be appreciated!

I dont know how much you'll need in mods to race the 911. 
I really like the looks of those old Porches.

What model '73 911 Porsche? The power ratings were 130 hp (97 kW), or 140 hp (104 kW) in the U.S., for the T, 165 hp (123 kW) for the E and 190 hp (142 kW) for the S. You've already got more hp than the 911, but I don't know the weight of the 911 for a hp to weight ratio. I would think that Stage 1 would give you an advantage for a straight line race.

It's a 73' Targa top turbo. I purchased it from my aunt, who purchased it new in germany in summer of 73'. She brought it back with her but placed it in her husbands name (he was an ER doctor, and therefor has never had a speed limiter on it) The engine has been modified by my cousin. We had it tested at 0-60 in 3.8sec. In addition I have added a cherry bomb muffler to it and plan to add one to my PT Cruiser. To put it simply, I out ran my cousin in dallas in the porsche (he has a 03 Asont Martin DB9)

 As it sits, we know it won't stand much of chance against the 911. You gotta admit though, it will sure be fun trying>
