SS 1LE v's 997 Turbo S

This is happening. My mate has a 997 Turbo S and I have a 2018 SS 1LE. He is stock and I will be running an LT376/535 engine with exhaust, cai and E85 custom tune. The venue is Virginia International Raceway in June and fastest lap time take home bragging rights and free dinner. I suspect we are similar in driving ability at this stage and both will likely be getting some HPDE instruction between now and then. We are a little competitive...….

On the assumption that drivers are equal, suspension, tires & brakes stock. Who has the edge?

Idk but let us know how it goes. Stock for stock, the ss 1le has laid down better laps times at LS and VIR for reference.

Stock for stock the SS1LE and the non S 997 Turbo are a dead heat at 1m 37.8s @ LS. At least per fastestlaps.com

Question is will my uprated engine and mods overpower his extra 40hp from being an S?

I doubt you will stand a chance in a straight line. The turbo S is only for 997.2 and only offered in pdk. This is when 911’s first got seriously fast. 0-60 in the 2’s.

He’ll beat you in the straights and you’ll beat him in the turns. It’s a drivers race.

I think with a pro driver behind the wheel of each your car would be quite a bit quicker on a race track.

According to fastestlaps.com the 997 turbo s did 1:40.11 at LS and 2:57.50. Slower than the ss 1le, though not by much.

I saw that they did have faster laps matching the 1le for the non s 997.2 turbo, the original non s 997 turbo had slower times also though.

His car is probably easier to drive but you're extra power should help if you can harness it.
