Well there you have it my car is now the official World record holder its been a long Journey those of you that have had 991's for years know the story. 3 years ago before any of us had turbo upgrades this was the fastest stock turbo car in the US and we ran 10.19. Then 8 months later we set a record again at 9.71 with Tial 68's ( the US record was Jeffs car with nitrous at 9.70 ) and then we smoked the PDK clutch before there was PDK tuning, Sam and myself then went down the rabbit hole of aftermarket clutch and engine build we did a lot of R&D with this car and we have come out the other side. Sam has been by me on this 110% and I want to thank him and Jon Bray and Cobb for there awesome platform and there are many other people who helped with this project. I have been out testing more times than anyone can possible fathom but its all come down to this I have run 4 events in 2 months with zero issues first 1/2 mile event we ran 178.5 gps, second 1/2 mile event we set the US VTG record at 180.1 this last outing we just ran the 9.38 1/4 mile world record. For those of you that have seen my video post I also ran a 9.49 while testing the other night these cars are awesome. Oh ya I hung the wheels in the air

Congrats on the accomplishment. I know there has been a lot of hard work and patience to make this all a reality. I can honestly say that effort tat Sam has put into this car and the drive of Mark to see this project through is truly astonishing. I have witnessed Sam's customer service first hand for the last year and his ability to manage his customers needs and can truly tell the world that I have never met someone in the aftermarket performance business that tries harder and puts more of an effort to satisfy their customers needs than Sam does. Mark has also shown a tremendous amount of dedication to see this through as well. You two make a great team and your times are a true testament to what this car is capable of.

Again, congrats to both of you guys. It is well deserved.

Congratulations for pushing the limits of the 991 Turbo S. Crazy a 9.30 is very fast in the 1/4 mile for a road car. I love the picture of the front wheels leaving the ground.
