It's like the clash of the titans! One question though for Craig. Why aren't you just handing your car over to Protomotive for an "Alex" special? It seems like you have a lot of one-off fabrication going on whereas you could just go to Protomotive and get the "package".

Is this it. If so it shows the viper with a slight edge to me. All cars are badass though...........Can't wait till they all get clear passes in.

That's not a Viper, that's an RX-7. I agree, it looks like the RX-7 had a slight edge. Then again, we don't know if this is the video from last night because I don't see any fog.

Alex never looses a race. Not with that car. Easy win and he should be hunting other cars instead

i really look forward to seeing results from the rematch. looks like an awesome race - both cars are phenomenal and are really amazing to be street cars at such insane speed levels. i assume the 996tt isn't running just 1.3 bar as shown on the protomotive website from the vid - are those brembo gt-r brakes?

hopefully we can see a good run! be safe guys.

i wonder - is the rx7's ls1 supercharged or turbocharged at all? all motor - big heads and cam on the fd? sounds like a funny question when talking about rx7 . funny that maybe the rough idle could be from a high lsa cam and not a crazy bridgeport or something. illm3, yea i wasn't sure what to expect either, but crazy for a street car to trap more than 143 mph! all the cars are awesome, i'm really glad the porsche won though. if the rx7 won i'd still have the same utmost respect for all the cars - at this speed level it's just astounding to run with any of these.

read the thread


The LS1 RX7's are true beasts, and suprisingly still handle pretty damn well

The first race was a rx7 but the second, third, and fourth race was definately a Viper gts pulling on that turbo. The viper is the camera car.In the third race you can see the fuel cap on the gts if you look hard.

What's the point of running with Viper's anyways? Last two that did that with me a while back ended up wrecking in the turns

Hi HotRod,

Sorry but I don't get what you mean here? I stated in many threads that I am now looking at the Gallardo or 997TT. (I guess I am overworked if it went over my head )

I thought you said over-wanked!

And Fred... you of all people WILL be the first in the 997TT. We know that.. you know it too!
