"the car's rear-engine, rear-drive layout is actually ideal for drag racing" - Must have converted to rwd.

Impressive car

 

Beast.

 

good call on the 996 reference, especially considering it has the 997 look in the front.

I noticed that there is no wing in the rear. I am sure this was done for maximum aerodynamics, but I wonder how unstable the car is at speeds higher than 1/4? yup, the article answered my comment. lol

 

so this must be the video of the car... It looks identical, right down to the ugly rear bumper. No wing on this one either, so this was a 996tt, not a 997tt, no biggie as they are basically the same car.

I'd love to know the spec's. I would guess there is another going with a stroker crank.

 

the car is light, regeared, and a 4.0L... whats the big deal?
It only takes money nothing else... lots of it...

"The car has also been lightened to 1168kg, and 9ff reports a 9.5-second run to 161mph (260 km/h). Yes, the DraXster is faster than a Bugatti Veyron. Thanks to the lack of adornments, the DraXster is low-key, with very few exterior details to distinguish it from any other 911."

Beast. Definition of a sleeper.

 

Sub 10's make a car a "big deal" in my mind, your car included.

 

sick, sick car.

 

Hmmmm ............. be interesting what a re geared 4.5L on nitrous does.

 

we have some fast cars... and I can tell you that one of them is doing 168 mph at 1.4 bars on the P box... but I also will tell you that HP is not everything.... it does become undrivable at some point...
Hope it finally comrs together soon for you Chad... you deserve it more then anyone here....
best,

Mark,

We are not so much looking for hp ........... but some substancial torque starting around 2400 rpm's. This is the reason for the 81.4 mm crank (.2+L). The ponies will be picked up with the 105.7 mm bore (.6L)

We believe the gears are matched up well to the torque. First gear is a 3.17-1 ratio, which should place the car right at 70 mph in first at redline. All six gears were changed.

And ........... thanks for the kind words.

 

Can you give us any more details? 993?996?

 

Can you give us some details on the car and what is making capable of near 170mph in the 1/4?I assume this is the one that runs 3's 60-130?I am very interested .I think I want one .LOL
