Looking forward to hanging out with my brother Mark again next weekend at a private 1/4 mile drag event at Famoso - although rain is predicted


With both cars switching to rear MT's, I'm sure it will be closer than our Sunday Shift Sector race:

 

Another great run Longboarder

 

Hey Long, hope you go with everything on place, your gonna need it with the Porsches that are racing in the event

 

For this event the car was on factory original plugs and coil packs @ 37,000 miles and it was misfiring. GMG installed new plugs and coils just in time for my event with them at the Thermal Club this Wednesday. This is a track car by the way. Just happens to be pretty quick in the straights

 

Perfect, I just saying that hopefully your car will be 100%

 

Can't wait for next Saturday, I hope it does not rain, Adam FYI It looked even worse from my drivers seat lol

 

Wow.. Your 997 is mental..! Sorry if I missed this but are both running stock turbos? Are 997 turbos bigger that 991 turbos? Curious why the 991 can't get 600 whp to match when both running stage 2 tune?

What's 0-60 on these beasts?

 

Long have a couple of mods more than this 991... In a 1/2 mile if both have same mods they made more or less the same mph.

 

Correct. Longboarder has water meth. The GIAC Stage 2+ 991 Turbo S did not. Water meth makes a big time power difference. But on Sunday at Shiftsector these two cars posted virtually identical traps

 

Thank you. Yes stock turbos on both. From what I understand, the 997.2 turbos are bigger than the 991’s.

Mine was getting out of the hole quick. At the same event I beat the Porsche 918 up to around 100-110 mph until the 918 started running away.

My 0-60’s on the street (with Toyo R888s) are generally 2.5 to 2.6 second range on the vBox but I have quicker numbers on the drag strip. 0-100 mph times are mid-5’s. At this Shift Sector event I was doing 0-60’s in 2.7 to 2.8 and 0-100mph in high 5’s. It’s harder to launch at Shift Sector since there is a lot of rocks, sand and debris on the launch pad, not to mention painted surfaces to guide the planes for landings.

 

How ironic....Matt takes the 720S out for a test drive and guess what.....yes...does one launch and CEL comes on...I'm sorta surprised he still posted the video..
