You my friends are down playing my car.
Where these other cars running shorter gears....probably. I still had 2 full gears to go. Whatever......I'll post some GPS stuff at some point. Its too bad its not mac compatible.

Yes i know your car well. I know almost all the RMS car's and how they originated. Have you guys seen the Supercharged Z8 video? That car is rebuilt just like Philly's and has supposedly made 680rwhp and its 60-130 mph video is in the high 10's! Now they claim that the video is 6000 feet altitude.

I have many many 60-130mph runs with my Viper TT. And I can confirm what it will take to get sub 7sec with 3400lbs car.

No. Longer gears. Ive been in countless supras, TT vipers, rt12 etc. When a 800hp supra goes through 3'rd you cant grab 4'th fast enough; your car i could drive with one hand, check my watch and order a pizza by the time 4'th rolls around.

Most 800rwhp+ Supras have 10K tach which give you plenty of time between 3rd and 4th.

Have you done sub-7 second 60-130 mph in your TT Viper? What is your best time?

yes they have a 10k tach, whats a tach has to do with the redline?

most redline at 8.5k which is on a high side, a few can do 9K. I have built many and have drive/owned many, i know how fast things move at 42psi.

edit: also i timed a 60-130 run in a 1100rwhp supra and it took 5.3sec, as i mentioned earlier.

You think??
Like I said before... its not the fastest. But you don't have to be a dick. I will get more "proof" this spring. It is in the 7 second range.. like it or not.
If you want to get tech....look at the outside temp in the video...85 degrees. Michigan summer, 90% humidity.

Look at the video posted earlier racing the high 11 second eclispe. That eclispe was matched up with my stage 2 Porsche TT. My car weighs 4000lbs. has Nav, Heated seats...etc. Tires spin through third and into 4th. No nitrous was sprayed into the intercooler on that pull. It was heat soaked. 1 extra passenger....Not ideal conditions. Next time, I will have all these things in order to present a faster video.

Also...at that point in time it was sucking 1 qt of oil every 20-30 miles from the supercharger sucking through the catch can and from the crank case.. also there was a bad ring in cylinder #2. All have been fixed.

All those things were going on in that pull. I will make sure the next filming spree the car will be in dry, cooler air, nitrous bottle hooked up.

Graig, honestly I don't know for sure what my best is without the AX22. That's why I am willing to drop a $1K to find out.

Cool! Looking forward to hearing whether a TT Viper can break the 6 second barrier.
