Rolling start at sub 85 probably quite close, over 100 not so much.

It's power band and delivery not peak power. Some modern cars gain 20 bhp on over boost for headline numbers but it's available for 500 rpm which is useless.
An NA with high power delivers later on than a turbo car hence you pull away and then get caught and passed. a 996 in the wet would be hard work, not surprised you stuck with it.

The original 911 996 3.4 was 296bhp and 1320kgs. It was up to 320bhp by 2002 I think (3.6).
Its transmission losses will be no worse than ours (essentially fwd, in reverse!) and it's more aerodynamic.
Even if it was the 3.4, what happened, should have happened!
F****** b****** thing...

Rear wheel drive can get power down quicker (in the dry) but it would be more of a struggle in the wet...which could explain you gapping him in 2nd and him squirming around.

4wd 911 would butcher a stage 1 coupe in any situation.

I don't agree Ive been to a few rolling road sessions were Porsches have been there aswell and they haven't made the factory power and this is normally on the NA's mostly. The only 2 I've witnessed that made more power than factory claimed were a GT3 and a Turbo S both were un modded

We're talking about the 996 here so given that means the following permutations: 296bhp Carrera 4 1500kgs 296bhp Carrera 2 1400kgs 320bhp Carrera 4 1500kgs 320bhp Carrera 2 1400kgs
You wouldn't be far off I if you said the following;
A 280bhp 20v Turbo would match a 296bhp 996 Carrera 4 from a roll, A 300bhp 20v Turbo would match a 296bhp Carrera 2 and a 320bhp Carrera 4 from a roll, A 320bhp 20v Turbo would match a 320bhp Carrera 2 from a roll, From a dig, any of the 996 911s would beat the 20v Turbo.

Why not barnacle? Were they a source of trouble? I have comparisons with a few cars. Civic type R, 944 S2, Celica GT, Corsa VXR, 911, GTV V6......
