SPEED RACER is infamous around these parts

Drove VRAlexander's 96TT and messed my pants

The car is the fastest vehicle I have ever driven. I was watching the speedo as Alex got on the freeway at 30MPH and when traffic was clear he nailed the throttle. As we accelerated I felt the G's and began to feel light headed. I was expecting him to shift to third gear so I could regain my senses, it took a bit longer because the red line is at 8000 RPM. Alex shifted into third and I was able to collect myself as I watched the speedo climb to 160 MPH. After a few more quick blast past 130MPH Alex pulled over to let me drive.
As I got out of the passenger seat and into the driver seat Alex said to me, " Whats that smell?" I replied " Oh it's just me, I SH_T my pants from this experience." Just Kidding.

I got back on the freeway and gave the car a few flogging's to 135 MPH. The vehicle is truly amazing.The turbos come in very smooth and then at full boost BANG, major seat of the pants acceleration.
I have a 1987 911 protomotive stage 3 turbo cab 600hp and I also own Alex's old c4 twin turbo. I have come to realize that I don't need to waste my $ on fast cars anymore. I will just go to Alex and drive his toys.

Hahaha nothing like a 1khp+ ride at full boost. Is like an exposion with 47mm Tial BOVs. It can make one's legs shakes like jello.

SPEED RACER-
It was nice to finally come full circle with you.....after all YOU ARE THE ONE RESPONSIABLE for all this 996tt mayhem that I am involved with today! It is your fault

...introducing me to Todd K about 10 years ago...and then Todd taking me for a quick jump into Hyperspace with your 911 when we picked up the car in LA...It was over then! I had the Callaway Corvette and thought 500RWHP was awesome.... but no, you and Todd had to show me the dark side!
On another note....yes you can borrow any of the toys anytime! Post some pictures of the red cab that started it all....welcome to 6speedonline...you have been initiated!

PS>I now carry diapers next to the Southwest Airline peanuts in the glovebox!

Vincentdds-
Is that my future viper I see on top in your avatar????

Markski-
How's your baby? Also, you must carry Pampers and Airline peanuts in the glovebox...It makes people laugh before the ride....and then they start holding on for dear life...

Craig-
No problem! I had to make that call...
