Ive seen Eddie Bello run, and he was incredible. Nothing can touch him. He would pop weelies in the 1 three gears. His best time was in the 8's, at almost 170mph. Best thing about the car, is that he could drive it on the street, and all his times were on Toyo street tires.

You can run 8s on street tires? I thought even 9s were pushing it on street tires. I read a lot about this on other high hp forums, you simply can't get the traction necessary in a 9 second car. Not to doubt you but do you have any proof of this? Just curious what the tires were, and if they were drag radials or not.

What RPM's does she come on at? Does it taper up in each stage or is it a quick shot per stage? I just heard NX came out with a new system that tapers up from 50 to 200 per stage.

Where's V-8 George when we need him. He's the fastest Porsche in the world ... I know so because he said so.
So, are any other local Porsche's thinking of showing up at this Ferrari gathering? or would we unwelcome? I always love to look
