Enough said ............... she will be done soon enough, we'll make a run and then I'll let sharkster give his eye witness report. Have a good evening.

I'll probably be getting another PM from VR telling me to settle down again.
Now that's why I'm gonna do my motor!!Ouch!!!

60-130 or 100-200 kph (62-124) is a fantastic
way to measure "Porsche Power to the wheels"
this way a persons' lowered track set-up or non-drag radials
will not be a factor. No beating of car required,
Just a little "romp out in the country"...
I cannot wait ! (to set a baseline) and then improve upon
it.

CJV, by the way, were those stock rods ???

Only two very disturbed HP junkies would try to one up each other by reference to who bent more rods. Kind of like alcoholics debating who has a worse drunk log.

Craig,

I believe those six rods established the limits for the stock 996tt rods and saved alot of people alot of money.

If that happens, I will make shure that the video gets some national TV coverage (I am friends with a BBQ sauce producer..it would make a great commercial for their brand)......

On another note...CJV..settle down

Actually Alex, with the response on the 60-130, 1/2 mile or 1 mile being so poor ............... I face the truth. For the most part, the guys just enjoy talking. I'm through with the talk. I'm going to just listen and moderate in the future. KA is a figment of my imagination.
