Correct. It was a Porsche GT2. The Widowmaker. No traction/stability control, no electronic nannies whatsoever to save your ass. 6 speed manual making 600 rwhp on pump. 800 on C16. It is much lighter than the Stinger, but the 6 speed does not shift as quickly, so the cars would be similar in straight line performance if they made the same HP numbers. The Metzger has a fairly large powerband and also makes good torque, not quite as good as the Stinger but better than say the 2JZ which needs high rpms. A 600 whp Stinger whp would be competitive in a straight line.
However, the Porsche is very different from the Stinger GT2. Perfect weekend car if you had the Stinger as a daily. Here she is in action: tx2k10 gt2 vs gt2 - Yahoo Video Search Results
I am lying about her never being dyno-d. She was making about 765 in the video, and 800 after I installed a full 3 inch cat-less custom made exhaust.
It is also worth mentioning that I like the Stinger every bit as much as that car. That is correct....a $50k car brings me just as much pleasure as a $200k car with another 35k in mods.
The Stinger is THAT good!
