Chipped RS6 vs Stock 996 Turbo

[NWRS6]

Had a great time this early morning with
my buddy. Thought you guys would be interested.

My buddy drove the RS6 while I drove the 996 Turbo (6-speed):

Stock RS6 vs stock 996TT

Acceleration from rest: 996 pulls half car length in 1st gear, 2 car lengths by second gear, and 4 car lengths by 3rd gear (80 mph)

From 30 mph roll: 996 pulls away from stock RS6 EASILY. By the time we shut down at about 100 mph, 996 is at least 15 car lengths ahead and still pulling away.


Chipped RS6 vs stock 996TT

Acceleration from rest: 996 pulls half car length in 1st gear, 1 car length by second gear, and 2.5 car lengths by 3rd gear (80 mph)

From 30 mph roll: 996 cannot pull away convincingly. By the time we shut down at about 100 mph, 996 is ONLY 7-8 car lengths ahead and CANNOT pull away any further.

Conclusion: I got what I paid for and I'm very happy with my 520hp RS6.

Wait, can you even fit a weeks worth of groceries in the Porsche?:D

Used the GIAC flashloader.

GIAC will be coming out with the flashloader for the 996TT within the next 60 days.

Looks like I will need to do the ECU upgrade on my 996TT now since it can't run away from my RS6 ;)

And NO, you can't fit anything in the Porsche. When I first got my 996TT, my buddies wanted a ride. There were 4 of us. Within 5 minutes, we had to turn back, let the 2 guys in the back get out lol.

Don't get me wrong, I love my 996 BUT, I love my RS6 just as much. :rs6kiss:
