Incase anyone didn't already know, hp = tq * rpms / 5252. So when rpms = 5252, hp and torque will be the same.
You're good. i didn't catch that.

Not in the real world when things like driveline loss and gearing come into play.

Come again?

Driveline loss and gearing have no effect on the relationship between horsepower & torque. HP will always be equal to torque * RPM / 5252.

Steve, have you seen Oak's Silver 996 TT / that car gives me a wood!
I have driven the canyons with Oak -- the following are a few pics of our cars (along with others):

Mine is the black TT -- Oak's is the silver TT next to the yellow one:

I saw Oak's 996 TT on Rennlist awhile ago, looks like he changed his wheels. I'm ready for a 911 Turbo, I need to make some more $$$ though...

To be relevant, you should find a 993 and 996 and run them on the same dyno. Also, a 96 with Varioram will have higher peak HP and torque than a non-Varioam 95.

The fact is, the 996 is a faster, better chassis car than the 993. Still, I'll keep mine.

btw your 993 is looking very HOT!!
