yea, went rwd, added LSD during the trans rebuild. I haven't launched it yet, just got it back last week and want to break it in. It will get sideways quick, but it would do that awd too. Traction loss is def there, but i also feel the car is a lot stronger as i think i had a number of boost leaks prior.

I ended up replacing ALL rubber that was in the engine, as well as basically replacing anything replaceable.

You need a Dragy ...

I suspect your 996T is probably in the upper 4s / lower 5s for 60-130... car rips!

seriously though, I know those coyotes with a whipple will destroy a V...
and the V was fast as fuck.
So if a squared plus b squared equals c squared then I surmise
your car must feel fast as shit.

Had a run in with a new GT mustang with a whipple supercharger running on E85...guy lays down 750 rwhp apparently. Did 60-140....put 2 cars on him. He then found me on instagram and did a "holy fucking shit what just happened"
