Still waiting for my CG kit parts to come in, scheduled for tomorrow. Can't wait to feel the results myself
Alex you already have the CG exhaust right? The kit has the software and exhaust and what else?

Who offers CG tuning in the U.S.? Since I have the Plenum and CG exhaust if I decide to do anything else I will add the software, most likely Revotechnik if I can't get CG.

.. which means that the cargraphic stage 1 is not 544ps.. but more. It would nbot surprise me, ecu and exhaust should give much more, especially since most stock cars are more than 480hp to begon with. (Mine was dynoed at 499hp in normal mode with 100kms on te clock!). My info says that ecu and exhaust can yield 580hp if tuner is knowledgeable (rs tuning is definitely)

the ultimate comparo of tuned Porsche 997 Turbos by sport auto magazine
Cargraphic 997 Turbo RSC 3.6
544 PS at 6,200 rpm
798 Nm at 3,770 rpm
151.1 PS/litre
1550 kg
357 bhp/ton
MSRP: 176,757 EUR (with options as tested)
vs.
Gemballa Avalanche GTR600
600 PS at 5,000 rpm
840 Nm at 4,600 rpm
166.7 PS/litre
1720 kg
345 bhp/ton
MSRP: 360,000 EUR (with options as tested)
vs.
Speedart BTR-XL 600
600 PS at 6,200 rpm
800 Nm at 4,000 rpm
166.7 PS/litre
1654 kg
357 bhp/ton
MSRP: 243,215 EUR (with options as tested)
vs.
Techart Turbo Cabrio
600 PS at 6,400 rpm
800 NM at 3,800 rpm
166.7 PS/litre
1717 kg
345 bhp/ton
MSRP: 225,000 EUR (with options as tested)
Acceleration
0-100 km/h: 3.3 vs. 3.7 vs. 3.5 vs. 3.5 secs.
0-160 km/h: 6.8 vs. 7.8 vs. 7.1 vs. 7.5 secs.
0-200 km/h: 10.4 vs. 11.9 vs. 10.8 vs. 11.3 secs.
Vmax: 316 vs. 320 vs. 335 vs. 339 km/h
18m slalom: 72.5 vs. 69.8 vs. 68.5 vs. 69.2 km/h
Hockenheim short track: 1:10.3 vs. 1:12.1 vs. 1:10.7 vs. 12.6 km/h
The verdict:
the Cragraphic 997 Turbo RSC 3.6 is the winner of that comparison even though it has 10 per cent less power than the others but thanks to the perfect suspension and an effective engine tuning, it is the quickest at the handling track and Hockenheim short track. It is the less expensive in the test, makes it the best buy out of these tuned 997 Turbos
the Speedart BTR-XL600 and the Techart Turbo Cabrio come in 2nd place, Speedart because of the slightly difficult handling of the 20" wheels and being less a daily driver because of the low front spoiler lip, the Techart 997 Turbo Cabrio because of the high weight.
the most brute looking Gemballa Avalanche GTR600 Roadster, also the most expensive on the test grid, comes last, the whole package needs some more süice here and there, it is the fastest in top speed but shows some weakness when it comes to handling.

Well I think the mods for the CG car were (my German is not good):
* Increase in output incl. exhaust
* Bilstein Coilovers incl. stabilizers
* Wheel set
* Something to do with the sport brake lining
So I guess they saved weight on the wheels and 5kg on the exhaust. And given the pic, also on Porsche lightweight racing seats. The brakes are red though so probably not ceramic.

This testing seems to confirm the excellent experiences many of us had with mild reprogramming, exhaust restriction removal, and suspension enhancement. I just wish Porsche had made all of this available as the stock configuration from the factory.
