Markski, I am bit disappointed in you. Why try to take anything away from EVOMS' impressive accomplishment? You are better than that. FWIW, I have repeatedly complimented your impressive times (Scott's as well).

Well said Kevin!!!

Excellent Chad! Can't wait. you know with my car in the workshop for over 1000 days I DO understand.

 

Joe,
I can not compete with anyone's shop car - period. I actually looked up to that 10.37 evoms run and not down on it. So when we ran low 10s I was very happy. You see.. to me it was huge accomplishment because I and Bobby( not protomotive) ran faster then the fastest Tuner car. To me that was an accomplishment... not hatred. It took an extra $15K of my own money to run that 10.03 time. That is why it was special to me. I never bosted nor bragged about it. I didnt have a sig. stating "worlds fastest 1/4 996TT". ( no harm intended Joe). I think my humble approach speaks for itself.
Actually, I am going to visit Evoms next month....
Congrats to Evoms again,

markski

 

This 9 sec run is no news to me. I knew they were going to do it. I really dont mean anything negative towards Evoms... As a matter of fact Todd Z has been helping me with my axle issue ... I actually have a good relationship with Todd Z, Sonny(customer), Mike M, etc... next month I will be visiting them in AZ.
I simply do not have the means to break things- and they break.... so when We ran the 10.03 it was a huge perosnal accomplishment becasue it took thousands of dollars to just do that and my car ran faster then the faster Tuner car at the time... that was an accomplishment not hatred. So now the bar is raised again by a tuner. I will give it one more shot hoping my tranny/axle does not explode...
...of all the people on this thread, I am probably one of few that knows what it takes to run these crazy times.... Unfortunatley 99% of us do not want to submit our cars to such abuse.
Congrats to Evoms.

You're 100% class Mark. Everyone knows that.

 

Proto doesn't have a shop car, Joe. Just us customers.

And NO...I'm not hating. Just clarifying.

 

Excellent post,

Congrats to EVOMS, quite an accomplishment!

 

Great Numbers ! anyone that can get this things into the 10s and make 500+ hp has done a great job!!

Now I want to see the first water cooled to break the 9.17 of the air cooled

 

Yeah, it must be 9.59 run!,

 

I thought Todd and Evoms had been pretty quiet lately. In fact I was getting a little dissapointed with all the wicked Proto cars being built lately. Not hating just love the friendly competition (plus I own an Evoms car)! I personally thought Mark or Scott would have the first 9 second car and then bam out of nowhere Evoms gets it done!

Now Mark, Scott and even Craig let's have not just one but four tt's in the 9's!

Get er done!

 

Before this "shop car" thing gets too out of hand, I moved to AZ about a year and a half ago. Prior to them moving locations (in Dec), this so called "shop car" was sitting outside under a car cover without a motor. (the whole time= 9 months) It sat the same way (now indoors) for possibly 5 out of the 6 months in 2007. They have not put nearly as much time in their "shop car" in 3 years as some other tuners "customer cars" have had put into them in the last 2 months. Just a little food for thought.

 

Playing the devils advocate and not intended at all to take anything away from such of Great accomplishment !!!!

BUT to be able to claim that 9 sec pass (or any other pass for a matter of fact) should you have 2 runs back to back on the same day to be able to "Certify" that pass ? and a 3er pass to claim all the glory ?

Im just asking

 

I just looked through the "Getting a Porsche into the 9's" handbook and could not find such requirements.

 

Sounds like they did make more than one 9 second pass but we will have to wait for the official information.

 

+1 Agreed

Although thats an amazing accomplishment and my hat goes off to EVOMS, now who's going to have the first Porsche go into the 8's?
