Scott,
Nice job!
Nothing broke, you had a good time (albeit shortened), and did an incredible
trap speed. 148 mph is nothing short of amazing. Congrats to you and your
engine builder!

very nice trap speed scott, definately 9 sec. power. you need some sticky rubber and no banging off rev limiter.not telling u anything new.
hopefully when you get grip nothing will break on ya.
good work and enjoy that fast freakin car.
ps. i finally bought a 996tt, a 2004 with some nice mods and pccb. i work at a bmw, porsche, audi dealer, so they purchased it for me so i can get it certified. i will have it in a couple of days, after we fix an oil leak.
, so i will post pics soon.
thanks for all your help and advice.

Congrats Scott! Great trap and at that weight!?! WOW. Can't wait to see your 9.
Did you try building any boost off the line with it? I'm sure you have the potential to cut some sick 60' times once you get it hooked!

Scott,
Congratulations on a great trap speed! Using a simple acceleration calculator and taking your trap speed and weight it would equate to around 1066 hp!
AWESOME! I love the run in full street trim, my ultimate goal would be to run full weight, street legal tires and 93 octane to a 9.9 quarter mile. Now that would be impressive!
Congrats again!

Here's another video. This one shows my first run of the day (the 10.50 @ 145). This was taken by a Cobra owner, buddy of mine.
The 2nd run was my 148 trap, run.
The last run was the run where I mis-shifted and just ended up letting off the throttle and crusing through the traps.

Scott, congrats on a great car and a great run!Looks like that setup translates perfectly from dyno to the real world. I am glad to hear nothing broke and I assume you were launching at a relatively sedate RPM. What are your plans now? Are you going to try for 9's and 150 or just enjoy the car. Just plain awesome..... Kevin

That means you can replicate your times on the street, if and when some unsuspecting driver insists "Lets get it on."
Kudos my friend. You should be VERY proud!!!
