tyson,
it will be interesting to see you and chad running together in the Pony Express 100.
Chad
can you average 150 for 100 miles? no need for anything but rollbar, 3" 6 points, race seats, helmet and nomex at that speed??? tyson can you?
you wont need your 700 HP unless you run 185+++ and both your cars should be capable of 200+ with fuel cell, etc, but tyres are the limitation, no porsche tyres available above 210.

Watt,
Michelin has tested a tire for the Porsche 996tt at 216 mph.
Check with Doug Brown at Michelin Motorsports.
My car's top end is only 190 mph @ 7000 rpm's (gear limited). But, what a ride to 190.
Regarding 150 mph for 100 miles, I believe it would but frankly I havn't tried it yet. I may not have a chance to either, at least with this car. Yesterday, I was offered what I believe to be a world record price for a 996tt. The gentleman wants it for the Virginia City Hill Climb next week.

deanger,
You are over rating the Enzo. I already know from first hand experience the cjv/s car go will take it in a rolling acceleration run. Found that out the weekend after the Concourso Italiano in Monterey.
Watt,
The offer is in excess of 320K.
You will have to guess as to what I have into it as to weather or not it would be a loss.

I don't know if I can average 150 for 100miles because I have not tried it before. If your GT2 can do it, why couldn't my Turbo??? I'm only running 0.2bar more boost than you are, with additional fuel.
