Man, where to start....you can check my sig for a few ideas..

Later on I might consider getting some more HP but for now I think I'm pretty well set all the way around!
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello everybody.........
This is my first post here.
I am dealing a 1998 996 Coupe, manual trans. 25k miles.
I drove the car, it is in good condition overall.
I really like the car, the ride, the handling, but wished it was a little bit faster.
What are the best mods for this car? (engine, suspension and brakes).
Thanks for the info.
I currently own a 1998 Viper GTS which I like very much
but I am getting the 911 because I like it and also because it has 2 "extra seats".
I already had a Porsche 944T and enjoyed it very much and it had a very strong top end.
How fast is a SC 996?
996 SC is sort of like a 996-Turbo..... But don't expect to have the Viper power you might be looking for. Remember you also won't be at the pump as often as you are with you 8.0 V-10 (12 MPG)
-Eli
I am getting less than 12mpg for sure.
I know it wont be as fast as the Viper but I want to have an idea of how
a SC 996 is like.
Porsche guys dont drag race their cars as much as Viper owners but some of
you must have done it.
If possible let me know performance numbers.
Congrats with the purchase and welcome
To gain real HP figures, supercharging is the only way to go... Modifying ECU, intake, exhaust, headers, cats, etc will get you about 20-30HP
I thought about getting the Viper before picking up the P-car but after some thought I figured with the amount of driving that I wanted to do it wouldn't be in my interest to do it. Later on I might consider getting some more HP but for now I think I'm pretty well set all the way around!
-Eli
Uh-oh... this could get ugly..
Karlooz, post your dyno sheets!!
ps- in the past, there has been some heated debates about the actual gains these mods give...
It's not the horsepower alone. If my 300 hp 996 can stay up with a 500 hp viper at Road America. He leaving me on the straights and me catching him on the curves, thus staying together round after round. Fun!!! Suspension, etc. counts.
Welcome to the board. That's a very nice pair of cars- 996 and viper. As far as mods, the stock 996 is a fantastic car- put a supercharger in it and the fun factor will multiply.
