Thanks once again Scott. The link below has more information and pictures about the car.

Nice time, Aaron!! I wasn't aware you picked up GT RUS's car...congrats on that. Are you still going to "Sledgehammer" your other 997tt?

 

Best place for you guys is a no brainer, go to the Texas Mile.
Put a V-box in your car and you will have all of your performance benchmarks.

0-100 mph

0-whatever

that is how I learned in the TX heat it took me 27 seconds (with very slow/soft launch to go from 0-300 kph (186 mph).

 

Yes I am, its been in process for a few weeks now. Engine is out of the car, and most of the parts have been built. I believe we are waiting on the turbos now, once those are finished the car should be ready to put back together.

Guys,

Aaron took the SPI 997TT TIP out again tonight in some cooler weather and ran a very quick 6.85 on a 2.6% decline.

Congrats, Aaron! That car really moves!

 

Guys,

Nero (titannero from Titan Motorsports in Orlando) ran an extremely quick 11.79 @ 116.3 in his bone stock 996TT with a 1.68 short time. I believe that's a world record E.T. for a stock 996TT! It's great to see someone with as much dragstrip experience as Nero behind the wheel of a 996.

I imagine we'll be seeing some new (and significantly faster) times out of this car in the future after Nero and his crew have applied thier extensive tuning knowledge to it.

Congrats, Nero!

 

Wow great time for a stock 996TT.

Aaron

 

That must be a TIP record (or at least very close). Great time Aaron!
You should bring it down to Goliad on the 25th. I would love to see it run...

 

That even beats the famous Motor Trend 11.9x from several years ago. That is unbelievable starting and shifting Nero!!

 

That's crazy driving for a 996 TT!!!!! Congrats.


Maybe he can post some launch techniques for the TT since it's so freaking hard.

 

I got a chance to test my 60-130 today with my EVO RS.. On a 1 shift pass it was 5.5.. I am sure i can get it a little better as i started very close to 60.. If i could leave at 50 i would have more momentum i think before the timer started.. Also, i weigh 275 so a light driver might help.. I am going to see what it does on monday with Chris Green in it who is 120lbs lighter than me..

Btw.. this was not my evo in my signature.. This was my RS street car that makes 700whp..

YES!!!! TEACH US TO LAUNCH THE HEAVY BEASTS...

 

He could give them, but your clutch likely wouldn't last long He had the added benefit of knowing he has a Tilton sitting at the office.

Best 60' of the night for him was 1.61 stock, but he didn't expect it to hook so quick and shifted the 1-2 on the limiter slowing him down to a 11.8 on that pass. The car may have more left in it on a perfect pass in cooler weather, we're going to try and give the car one more shot before putting the K24/18G kit on.

Neither of us has had much problem getting the 60' down, both cars are low to mid 1.7s average. Just gotta turn PSM off and drive it like you stole it. Rev the car up to 4200-4500rpms (Higher in the bone stock car), slip the clutch about halfway out leaving, once you feel the car squat and get traction slowly let the rest of the clutch out and give the car more gas. If you just rev it up and dump the clutch and go WOT the car will likely wheel-hop or spin.

Practice makes perfect! We're going to put a bounty program together soon to help promote people drag racing their cars, more details to come.

 

Just posted up my 1/4 slip from last May. Temps were 88F and humidity was 66% with a 10kt headwind. Time was 11.70 @ 121.98. Hoping to get closer to 125 this winter.

Dive, thanks for verifying and posting my time. I must be honest, the time was run RWD. So you might want to make the changes to your list.

 

Will do, Ryan. Congrats on the solid time and I look forward to seeing your improvements in the winter.
