Spanked a 997TT Bad
Did two pulls in Mexico.
I was behind him on the first run but was reeling him hard. The second one we were side by side at the light and I left him 5-7 cars behind by the middle of third after spinning half way through second on the shift.
He was a cool guy
, we chatted at the next light. He said he had just upgraded from an Exige. I informed him to get a GIAC chip.... He seemed very interested. I predict another addict in the making....
Having seen Vincent's chipped 997TT at the track, I can definitely say that the chip really works on the 997TT (forget about the fact that Vincent himself can drive circles around me).

Ari,
Very happy to hear that the X50 beast is pulling strong. I'll assume this "mexico" we speak of is not really the country down south but a way to not incriminate ourselves publically ? = )
We need to run each other again, I think i'm slightly quicker at shifting now unlike the trip when I've only learned to drive stick on the turbo for a 3 weeks. Hope to have K24 + flash in here by summer.
Best wishes.

For sure. although my car has been fine tuned and is running much stronger now. Steady 1.2 BAR with a split second 1.3 bar in higher gears before the wastgeates do their thing.
I'll give you a nice race.
Go with some ball bearing turbos. They help spool a lot quicker.
Where is that DVD you promised me?

I have the equivalent of an Evo stage 4 minus headers.
Fine tuned at speed gallery = found some boost leaks and bad check valves.
