Yes Infinion.

It can be slower due to head winds and slight uphill grade. The good part is that it is cooler than Sacramento and because its a night it gets even cooler still. During NASCAR they always shut down the wednesday drags but its open most other nights. Check the web site for details.

I will be up there tunning my 993tt soon.

It would be interesting to see how my setup compairs to yours.

Did I mention just how much I love this thread? Tyson, for realz you'd like Tommy if you met him. Of course he goes through cars pretty darn fast. A TT, then 997S, then straight to a GT3 and back into a GT2. Tommy is a Porsche-lover just like you

I can see him in a CGT in a year. When he gets bored of 700HP...

My GT2

My '03 recorded a 12.15 at 125.5mph with a 60' time of 2.4sec.
My Gt2 has an Upsolute chip and cargraphics exhaust. My run was at 80deg or so, full tank and 260lb's of lard(me). I think his numbers are very believable!

Tommy can drive. Really well too... I know because when he brought the GT2 in he was like "What's all the fuss with this car, it's easy to drive. People keep saying all these horrid things about it etc...". He thinks the GT3 is slow by comparison lol

When I grow up, I want to be a mixture of Robert and Tommy. That way I have all the cars and ladies covered.

With that trap speed, it sounds like you spun half the way down the track (your 60ft indicates that as well).

With just an exhaust, I ran a 12.29 @ 116.25mph in my turbo with a 1.79 60ft.

I love this thread. I was just telling someone yesterday that 6speed has gotten boring, dull, dead. Now it's back on the front page again. Woohooo!

Hey Tom, haven't met you. But I should let you drive my car and see what it can do at the strip. I'm still having trouble with my launch program

Geez. You can't just drive around the hood here and flash people's car on the streets man. It ain't right. You're gonna scare the living daylights out of them old folkies when they drive their porsches.

Around 6pm could've been me, altho I'm not the only silverTT game in town
