How do these guys launch the AWD cars in the 1/4 mile ? I'm assuming they come out real easy till the clutch is all the way out ???
I will be taking it to the drag strip a few times a year. Can the car go 11.50's with the ECU and exhaust ?

Not too many guys run their cars for 12 hours straight. When was the last time you ran a car for 12 hours?
Do you do alot of road racing or do you do mostly informal "canyon carving"?

I have run cars for 12 hours when on long trips up the state or across states. More importantly, the point is that if a motor can last even a 12 hour enduro, it means it is very reliable, and will be a 100,000 mile motor without needing a rebuild. That's the point.
In answer to your last question, I do both. I get to the track about once a month now, maybe twice if I'm lucky.
I don't wish to argue if Porsches are superior to Vettes, because we all know the answer to that question. After all, it appears you voted with your wallet.

Another honest question, at the shootout how many runs did you make and what were the times of each? I am assuming the 10.7 was the trophy run and the others were probably in the range of 10.9-11.4.

I don't agree with you regarding the T04E setup being too big for the street. This is hardly the case, as I drove the car in the city, through the canyons, and even a whole track day and never noticed too much lag. In fact, the only real difference between the Turbo and my new GT2 is the power difference, the boost characteristics are very similar. If I had the newer GT30 series Turbos, it would spool even faster.
As for the Shootout, the 10.7 was hardly the trophy run, the car did 2-3 runs prior and the one just before the 10.74 was a better launch and better run (you can ask Sharky, he was there), but alas the computer equipment failed to record the time.
The car performs very consistently, and one run with a poor launch yielded either a 10.8 or 10.9 after the 10.74 run. Car never ran into the 11's.
I wish you could have checked out the car and driven it, Chad. It really was quite a piece of work. Even the S-Car-Go guys couldn't help but be impressed!

I am sure an MTI motor could handle a 12 hour drive.
As to the Porsche vs. Vette thing .... you got me there. If I had more room I would get another Vette though. A C6 Z06 is calling, but I have also caught the Porsche bug. I have also caught the Viper bug and the Lambo bug and the M5 bug and ....

So how would your Z06 perform on a race track against something like CJV's car or even a GT3 Cup car? This is interesting, because even most full out Le Mans race cars (including the C5-R) don't run 9's in the quarter... so it makes one wonder? I would think that a 9 second Vette would not be very well balanced on a race track, especially with Nitrous???
I have never pounded my car in an enduro for 12 hours (would like to one day, however), but I have seen modified 996TT motors and GT3 Cup motors go for 24 hours of full out racing. I guess Vettes have too with the C5-R, but I would argue that the C5-R motor is further from a stock Z06 than a Cup motor or modified Turbo motor is from our cars.
I have caught the CGT bug... unfortunately, I can't justify spending half a million on a car just yet... New M5 looks interesting, but the I-Drive and the exterior turn me off.
At least no one in their right mind would dare compare their Z06 to a Carrera GT, unlike our 911's!

Just drove my car 11 hours, ran it at the track, 9 sec passes and drove home with the a/c on.

Tyson, I would give CJV the definite nod on a road course. His car seems to be very well sorted out and has a ton of well thought out mods.
My Z06 was very a very fast well balanced street car. I am not going to claim it was some road course burner but it could go fast turn and stop extremely well. But it now belongs to someone else so I guess it does not matter anyway.
I feel your pain on the M5. I think the M6 may be more interesting. I just need to hold my wad and wait for it.
