We need to see more Pcars stepping up to the plate with these TTG's. I don't understand why folks keep these beasts garaged and never let them out to compete. I know of several BIG PCar builds that NEVER come out. Ridiculous.

 

lets put it this way... Todds dyno couldn't keep up lol . He said he has never seen anything like that... I know what you mean but some people like to keep things quiet... otherwise no one but a 1500 hp lambo will go for it because they think they can beat everything...

 

Well, the Lambo's have no problem with the spot light.

 

is this particular 993 the color of red by chance ?

 

being ****y and flashy isn't everyones virtue... ask the 1341whp drag ford mustang from dallas that lost lol and it ran high 7s.. there is a scene behind the scene but it doesn't all get on speedTV

edit: not directing this towards you in any way...

 

We have been working together for a couple years now and on your car prior however I beleive the set up has changed.

Best,
Scott

 

^^correct^^

 

We plan on being at the next event even if we bring Matt's car. LOL! Car was not running right (was puking coolant) so I had the bumper off that Friday. Luckily that fix ended up being just putting a barbbed fitting instead of the stupid stock push fitting on the SMALL top radiator hose.

I've been so busy with the shop last few months I haven't really even paid much attention to the car. We've messed with it the last week or so trying to figure out some issues with boost drops. After we fixed the coolant puke issue we started running into boost issues. While testing some settings on the AMS-1000 to see if that was the issue I managed to run a 4.3 on E85 in this awesome 90* weather (Monday). I think the file should be on the drift box, but its not a new best, just was a way to check how the car was running. During that pull 2nd gear was pretty good but in 3rd I looked like a bobble head doll. Probably going to mess with it some more this weekend. Should be right at a month before we are fully running in our personal shop. So next time I have issues having a lift and dyno to test whenever will be very helpful LOL!

Running down these big HP Lambos will be tough for the watercooled platform. Esp from a roll... It will be tough... VERY tough. Even then it won't be a the big HP ones. The Lambos are making 1500+rwhp without an issue. I do not know of any WATERCOOLED Porsche motor thats making that. I think its possible to make that kind of power, but longevity for maybe more than a dyno pull though... Highly doubtful.

 

your right, they don,t have a chance. the lambo to fast weighs about the same making more power and torque. people don,t race their car because if they lose they can,t brag anymore. so watch it with the 993 the truth will be out lol.

 

Don't understand your point? I don't know many (if any) UR SL owners who bought the car because it was 'flashy'.

And beating a 7 sec drag car on the street is easy with anything that runs 9's.

Glad to hear you're still at it and look forward to finally seeing you run something on the highway. I'm sure there will be a couple UR builds to choose from next March.

Curious, did you ever run your car after that aborted pass years ago?

 

I was responding to Todd's post... that "Gs like to be in the spotlight".. but I said that not everyone does... yet its doesn't mean that the Gs cant be beat... it is hard to beat a car that has 1200awhp that hooks up on all 4s and all you do is press the gas pedal... and I doubt it will be any 996 or 997 on the market... it will take a lot more to compete with the 1500 hp G...
look how hard it is for the P cars to trap 150 let alone 160 or 170...

 

neil, does softronic also do the GTR files ?

 

Highjacker!

 

nice to run some fast street car,very fast. don't understand the second part?
