thanks scott. your 60 - 130 time may be in jeopardy. we are going to do some real world drivability tuning next week and will get the driftbox connected! hoping for 4.66 seconds in a AWD 997 Turbo with one shift!

The exhaust was blowing out of the tips so hard that the "Z" in Switzer blew off the building. So now it is Switer.

Remember that....

Scott has a 4.0 BAR program that creates "time warp" in his 996 so when you see him behind you.... it's only because Scott finished the run and is catching up in order to pass you again....

It's his "back to the future" file....

Well, i think the car has only been there for 3 months or so. But i will drive it as my daily driver and put 10K - 12K miles per year on it. we just need to wrap up a few additional options. we are in unchartered territories so it does take some additional R&D time to get everything dialed in. but believe me, i will drive it! this car will not be a dyno queen!

I've driven my car in the rain in backroads, highways and even at the track So that wouldn't apply to me, but I will not take it out in the rain JUST TO take it out, no fun and dangerous.

I wasn't talking about you, I know you drive your car but I can name 5 others off the top of my head.

I've been at the track, not doing street 60-130 pulls besides I don't have a drift box. If someone can lend me theirs i'll def. get some runs up... Although I did just run an R1 and pass an M6 that was running my friends LP560 and etc from 10+ cars back at 185+ like a freight train (Member "Slavik" here on the 6 was in car)... These videos are running around on exoticsrally.com, and so on

I am just in awe that the stock internals have held up so well. It speaks volumes about the quality and engineering of our cars.

Congrats on the new numbers. Has Tym done anything to control head lift at these higher boost levels, or are the head studs still stock? I have been following your project and have been impressed with the quality, I would love to see the car in person sometime.
