Martin,
Based on your incessant bragging over the last few years; every car you have ever owned seems to be some sort of "freak". According to your posts, they all seem to be so ridiculously fast that they defy all laws of physics.
You made similar claims regarding your old AA M3, your Stage 2 TT, and now your GT2. Yet...you NEVER back any of your claims up!
You never go to the track, and you never run 60-130's. You always say you're going to, but it never happens. I can't recall how many times in the past you have said you were going to take your cars to dragstrip, only to find out it never happened....for one reason or another.
Lots of talk and lots of claims....but never, ever any follow through. It's quite old.
How about you stop making BS claims and go get some damn 60-130 data for us as soon as it warms up? The link for the P-box is below.
I have no doubt your GT2 is fast, but constantly claiming that it's as fast or faster than other P-cars that have 100-150+ more HP than it does is completely ridiculous, and not believable. It's also extremely insulting to our intelligence.

And it very well can be, but saying your turbo s is faster then a GT2 and not to listen to actual test's done by walter rohl himself is all BS? Isn't very fair in itself.
BTW I must have missed it, are you stock? And the test was comparing a K16 turbo coupe to a stock GT2, not a Turbo S or K24 car!

You are implying a lot , and insulting me now, that was never said. Did I say my car was faster then a proto 700 car? NOPE, I told exactly what happened straight out, dead even and him pulling a little top end before we shut it down. Instead of asking first hand to someone you can readily contact, you continue to flap off at the mouth, we know your a tough guy relax.
I haven't produced 60-130 numbers but again who said that's the standard, especially to real life run ins with people YOU SHARE THE FORUM WITH AND KNOW!!?! Everyone I ever ran with my car's, I shared and YOU KNOW, so don't imply that I am lying and that I have super freak fast car bs..
Different strokes for different folks, you can find me at the road course Scott, I don't like the drag strip!

As far as the 60-130....I never claimed it to be "the standard". But it is the most accurate, verifiable way we've found to detemine how fast a car truly is from a roll.
But again, same as the dragstrip....I can understand why you don't want to do it. You may find yourself in the unfortunate predicament of running 60-130 times that do not correlate to all of the BS claims you've been making about your car. And the fact that someone else is actually verifiying your data...well, I guess that's just too much for you to handle.
We all know that bragging is not a good character trait. But people that brag and attempt to back it up, well...at least they're putting thier money where thier mouth is.
People that brag but don't have the ***** to back it up, well.....you get my point.
I think you've made it perfectly clear over the years exactly which category you fall under.

I don't want to start any flame war, but KPG did send Martin his driftbox before he got his RUF and we never got any numbers. I know, he blew a radiator hose, weather was bad, etc, etc. Although these are valid reasons not to run the car, I believe he had the box for several weeks; plenty of time to get a reasonable run. Oh well, spring is just around the corner.

I just ordered my drift box so in two weeks, it will be here. Give me another week to figure out how to work the thing! I will lend it to all of my friends in OC so this is going to be fun. Thanks for the tip........
I think his small shot is about what my brothers was ~200rwhp or so. If I remember his post the car made close to 800rwhp and lots of torque. If the car hooks up it should give most cars a good run. I think he is also going to have the weight advantage on the Pcar also because if I remember correctly Scott said this car will be AWD. We'll see how it goes though, never know what can happen on the street. I'm sure we will line up against the Pcar (hopefully if we don't blow anything up) with my brothers car that should make ~820-850rwhp and weighs 3200-3300lbs (depending on fuel).
I can't wait till TX2K8!

If you can break 8.5 seconds for a 60 - 130 run, I'll be very surprised. It takes a lot of horsepower to move 4000 lbs.

We'll see what happens come spring, but I won't be holding my breath.
