The TT Porsche Cayenne Turbo-S and the TT AMG-Benz SL65 don't want anything to do with the TT Z06 Chevy on the straight track. The TT Chevy dyno'd 755 RWHP and 676 RWTQ.

I emailed the two pics to you Scott...can you post them for me? I thought I knew how, but apparently not.

Attached, Steve. :thumbsup: The links looked good, but the Yenko board may not allow hotlinking attachments from their board.

Man, what a collection of cool cars!! I'd love a ride in the TT ZO6. :)

Very cool Steve. That TT Vette is sweet. Have a buddy with an SL65 and even though it is an awesome machine, still prefer the Vette. :thumbsup:

Gil, at NRP, assures me we could get another 100 HP by installing a .710 lift cam and a couple other do-dads, but I told him we'll just leave it be with factory cam...the 345's can't hang on with 750 HP, let alone 850 HP. It's sneaky quiet, viciously quick and behaves well in traffic. I sold the yellow supercharged C6 Z06...it wants nothing to do with this TT version either.

Thats awesome!

But the question is, which would win in the snow! :D Oh right...Vegas weather!

Is the vette a factory package or a demon of your own doing?

I would love to see the shoot out numbers. Cool trio. I've heard the turbo cayenne is a pretty cool drive.

Steve, did you ever do the RennTech tuning for the SL65? If not, it's a must do. Huge difference in the smile on your face when you drive the car.:unibrow:

I have ridden in a Cayenne turbo. Now I'm a big dude (as most of you know), let me tell you that the Corvette Z-06 unturbo charged feels much safer to this rear end than the Porsche did. Now the Porsche would fly, but comparitivly speaking, its like a ride in a seriously fast Mini Van with really good handleing. Not great mind you just really good.

I can't comment on the Mercedes. If it's anything like gettin' in Stu's wicked Mercedes, I'll need a bucket of Crisco and a good running start to get in it. It was a fast ride and I enjoyed it. 'Course Stu's borderline insane and he drove that car like he had stolen it.

Thats still a sweet trio of rides Steve. You da man.

Charley said he had no regrets with the RennTech stuff on his 65, so I'm very tempted to try it myself. I saw a video somewhere of a RennTech 65 running around a new Vette like it was tied up. AMG-Benz spent millions $$$ engineering and designing the SL65, then we go tinker with it...when will I learn?

My goal some day is to be able to buy a used SL65. The first thing I will do is pull the computers and send them to RennTech. I've ridden in his stock and after computers, and the mod is the only way to go. :thumbsup:
