Last I heard Akram got kicked out at 1am last night for staying too late setting up. 8pm was suppose to be the cutoff Nevertheless, I believe the booth is landscaped (literally) with fountains and ready to go. If I get some extra pics I will share.

Dang John, I wish you would have given me a little more notice. Tomorrow will be nice and cool, although it will be windy.

I will definately make the Feb 60-130.

TT, I love your signature. RWH Live at Cibolo Creek Country Club is by far one of the best albums I've ever owned.

What's in the works?

Lets put this in perspective: 2300lbs/850hp= 2.705
996GT2 with lightweight stuff say 3000lbs/2.705= 1109 whp is what the lightest 996gt2 or TT would have to have to equal your power. amazing
Can you even get traction with it. With slicks you probably look like a dragster.

Rear tires are 355/25/19 Pirelli's stretched on the rims, almost too small after narrowing the rims by 2"...so traction is an issue, as are wheelies when it grips. This is a car where I can really never go full throttle. A 996tt with awd will whoop me most likely, but I don't want to hijack this guy's thread.

The 1009hp run is OUTSTANDING...and its a real well behaved monster, I like 'em loud but this thing is sick Congrats.

No worries, I am not that kind of person! We could get together sometime if you like?

Robert, I'm planning on it! I'll be home late June early July for a few weeks before I go back overseas, I HAVE to see your car! It'd be great to meet up.
