even if it wasn't hennesey's whose reputation is considerably less than sterling, hell no.

btw, anyone really think they've done the R&D necessary to make a reliable product - or at least know it is?

I dont think they have. The presentation seems pretty slapdash to me. Isn't that picture of the red CGT a picture from Porsche? You think they would atleast have a picture of the kit to make it more believing. But, the numbers are amazing. Its mind boggling. If I had a CGT, I wouldn't dare hand it over to them. No way.

the numbers are horseschit as they were with gemballa and their abortion offer. both companies merely extrapolated out numbers based on power/weight, etc in the hopes of trolling for a sucker to offer up their CGT for molestation from these hacks. fwiw, the CGT motor was detuned from 800 hp "NA". i'm sure we'd all be amazed at what just the elimination of the pre and post cats (4 total!) would offer in the way of power increase and weight savings.

Ya, I don't think I would hand my Carrera GT over to any company. So far, no company has offered any kits or parts that seem to be worth it or have any validity to their statements. Seems like no one can improve what Porsche has created, and rightly so.

Also, due to the design of the chassis and engine compartment of the CGT, wouldn't it be a major operation just to install an aftermarket exhaust system? Seems like theres not much room to spare because the chassis 'wraps' around the engine.

I know a guy in Houston that had his Viper worked on by hennesey, they truely F'ed it up bad and never took responsibily.

no, a cat bypass would be easy. in fact there is a company in S. Cal who is stating they can do it while not triggering the check engine light and still passing CA smog. i'm tempted.

I remember talking to a tech from Sportec in Switzerland. They had a Carrera GT there for tuning. The owner wanted more power and theoretically, it wouldn't be a problem. But Sportec advised against it, especially using turbo chargers because of the ceramic composite clutch for example but other reasons too. So they just fine-tuned this car, a few horses more the classic way, the suspension stayed the same ("there is nothing to improve..." ).

Personally, I think most CGT owners should learn how to tame the current HP they have on the original car before they're thinking about a 25% power increase. Ouch.

And Tuners who do EVERYTHING for money, aren't serious in my opinion. There has to be a limit, a technical one and a moral one. You can add a 1000 horses to a car but what then? I mean look how many problems VW had with the Bugatti Veyron during development. And they invested hundreds of millions in this project. Now imagine a Tuner with a testing/development budget of a couple of tens of thousands of dollars...IF that much...

I would never "touch" a Ferrari Enzo or a Carrera GT, this is a sacrilege, the most dumb thing people can do. They not only destroy the original setup, they spit on the passionate and intelligent work of some of the finest development engineers worldwide.

I don't get it: people are intelligent enough to earn a lot of money to be able to buy such a fine car like a Carrera GT and then they're dumb enough to throw away another tens or even hundreds of thousands for destroying the work or art. This is like buying the Mona Lisa and changing her hair to blonde, making her lips red and adding some sun glasses to it, not to speak about a boob job.

Sorry for my angry words but some things, I really don't understand.

No, it's not! It is well known, as said before, that the CGT engine is rather on the safe side in terms of reliability. If using this engine in the ALMS or at LeMans, what it was originally destined for, it would have to endure 24 hours at the very limit and would still have to run fine. So it is pretty obvious to me that they COULD do more if necessary. I applaude Porsche to stick to their philosophy and remain the power output on a solid level - I could imagine they also did this with an eye on the transmission! I could imagine the tempation to bring it to Enzo power and performance numbers must have been tempting in Stuttgart!

I am not sure if this would be a sacrilege since tuning a 996 Turbo engine is developed by the very same passionate and superb engineers, isn't it?

On the other hand RC is definately right that most people (me included) should first learn to drive the CGT before starting any modifications (if any at all).

I'm aware of the fact the engine could handle more then 612hp but people are having a hard time 612hp...imagine what people will do with 700-1000hp...this car is a beast...tame it first then ask for more.

I like ben's idea of getting rid of the cats, mostly for weight, but u could gain maybe up to 30 ponies by deleting them. thats not messing with perfection, thats messing with stupid government imposed crap regarding emissions. I really wonder what it would do to the sound tho, and sportec claims they can get u 740 HP....dunno...but it would be tempting hahaha, ben, u gonna go for it:)
