So basically all we need is a Cobb tune and save your money with the other stuff :-)

Good runs John.

 

Until we see how nasty COBB stage 3 is on the track

 

And Stage 4 soon too! There is plenty of crack to co around lol
Good times

 

C'mon Sam! Shhhhh!

 

That Can only mean a VTG upgrade. Bolt ons are pretty much maxed out now

 

Yes, I had the #200 black 997 turbo S, we were in the Yellow run group. I run in the Blue group now w/ NNJR!

 

Wow so a Cobb Stage 2 win vs a Giac Stage 2+ and with IC's??? Man I can wait to install my ByDesign IC's and make a awsome custom tune

 

You are correct that the Cobb Stage 2 car beat mine once. And I beat him once but that video will never surface unless someone from the crowd independently recorded it.

I also learned from reading here that I screwed up several thing at the runway. I didn't turn the traction control off which I now understand slows down the run a bit. I won't make that mistake again.

I made another mistake. On the run that I lost against the Cobb car I had a passenger who is about 150 pounds (my son) while the Cobb car was empty. On the run where I beat the Cobb car both cars were empty of passengers. The driving force club event is just a fun run kind of event as they're not taking any times or monitoring the start line for jumping and red lighting people. Members regularly take passengers from the crowd or from their friends.

And I made another more mistake. I didn't put my gopros on my car until the afternoon and the runs against the cobb car were in the morning. As a result all the Cobb fans ignore the run where I beat the Cobb car and act as if it didn't happen. The owner of the Cobb car had his camera on his car during the runs as I recall but says the video is not available of the run where I beat him. I suppose it's my bad for not putting my cameras on in the morning.

Once I put my cameras on in the afternoon I recorded every run and posted every one of them including my one loss (to the Huracan--I won the other two or three races against him) rather than just posting

My final mistake is that the second run with the Cobb car (the one I lost) was near the end of the morning and my car been running constantly for almost 3 hours straight. I didn't watch any races from the sidelines (as the owner of the Cobb car said he did) and instead constantly cycled back-and-forth as I viewed it as a fun event rather than a competition. Even with upgraded intercoolers running the car constantly for three hours while sitting in idling for the next run had to result in some heat soak although I did not experience the major heat soak I did in the first runway event I did in May.

The Beauty of the Atco day is that we will have unlimited runs and only about 20 cars to 25 cars which will allow people to have as many Cobb versus GIAC runs as they want.

 

I say this with all the respect in the world as you are an active member in the 991 Turbo forum and leading the way in mods for all of us to benefit from, please don't take this too seriously. These are just cars and whether or not the video of you winning ever surfaces, we are all winners to be able to enjoy cars of this magnitude. There are millions of people that can't afford any type of car.... I love your passion and clearly your car is important to you.... enjoy it in the best of health. There are days you will lose... always someone faster... have a great day!!

 

Agreed! I do like the process of modding and trying to make the car faster.

 

Here are some of the videos which didn't have any useful information. Either there were traction issues or something wrong. One guy seems to have just given up.

I have 5 more videos of my door trim since I forgot to put the window back up. I'll upload the videos of my door trim for you later Scott. Maybe you can hear the other car and tell if it's yours!! . I'm kidding BTW

Huracan:
Lexus LFA:
C7 Z06:
C7 Z06 again:
No races against modified GTR's or anything like that. I tried to line up with cars that I was curious of the outcome. GTR's just don't do it for me.

 

You probably you tell it was mine from the catless exhaust noise. LOl

I enjoy racing the GTR because it's always a battle. I found my car was a pretty good match against the E85 one. It was a lot more powerful than the gasoline FBO one.

Nice kills. My friend Gordon's LFA is amazing car. But not fast off the line.

 

What happened to the Z06? I would think those would put up a fight.

 

Poor guy. His traction control shut him down the first run. He pulled out the manual and tried to shut traction control off, he realized he had to change it from "race" mode to "sport" mode. We raced again, but he just spun his tires lol

 

From everything I read about The Z06s they're just not made or sorted out well. I know some of the ones that car mags have had have not always worked properly or produced the full 650 hp

But even if the car was working perfectly it would have a lot of trouble with the 991 turbo from a dig it from a low speed launch due to its RWD
