Yeah, but remember Pinks? I'll be the first to guess Alex runs in the 8's and is only too happy for us to think it only runs 9's.

(I know, I know, it's a *big* step from 9's to 8's. I'm only about 1% serious)

(but if we ever see an 8-second timeslip, I still get rep points, m'kay?)

 

Haha. Got it.

You know what..........rep point on the way.

 

No timeslip, no video .. no claim. Just talk!

 

Your right he hasent, at least not on the forums

 

Regardless, there is no 9 second run unless it is proven, which it hasn't been. The monster car that Todd Knighton built can certainly do it, it does not mean there was a 9s run. So far the fastest car in the quartermile is the EVOMS GT800 the rest is BS, I do have a run from Alex's car showing trap speed beyond the 140mph achieved by EVOMs, which proves that the HP is there on the Protomotive car, and that is enough for me to say that the engine is up to the task.
Markski, the task to beat the 10s is in your hands now.

 

I'm not trying to be on anyones side... I agree that it can't be official unless you have proof. What I can say though is that he called me a minute after the 1/4 pass to tell me that he did it. I do not think he made it up.
just my thoughts,

Jorge Diaz that whole thread we had, didnt he prove his barely 9 second run?

 

I personally beleive Jorge Diaz ran that 9 sec run. I don't have a time slip but I know people in Puerto Rico that were there and verified it. It is the talk of the island.

 

Man, there must be some super sensitive people here, somebody gave me an anonymous negative rep for my post in this thread, did I hit a nerve?

 

It was a smoking hot that day on the island, they were all wearing hempbands around there heads to absorb the sweat... he ran high 10's...

 

Yes there are 9 second 996TTs, but these cars aren't the easiest to mod for this purpose. The 996TT's strength is on road tracks, and it hides its weight well in this setting.

 

Where?

Well, to clarify, when I say 9 sec, I mean 9.xx which could even be a 9.9x. Anybody that I know in person or via telephone or this forum that has a car which might run in the nines is pretty mum, and the stories I've heard are from credible people, but they ARE ADMITTEDLY SECOND-HAND. There is a crowd here that streetraces in Mexico () for money and they're notorious sandbaggers. Rest assured, some of the cars that are up on blocks, not running, are running somewhere.

It's not important enough to me to pry as to who does exactly what, but if someone did tell me what they've done, I wouldn't share it here. I'll let them tell their own stories.

 

Can you explain the whole 'rep' thing to me, still not totally up to date with it so to speak.

 

I don"t get it...
