I don't understand all of this **** talking that goes back and forth here. Why not just take the car to a track and get some real recordable numbers that no one can dispute?

I'm not trying to spoil or offend anyones fun, it might just be me but I find it all a bit boaring racing straight line sprints, I prefer to hit the track where it demands a high level of concentration and the driver does the work just as much as the car. We can all sit in a car and push our foot to the floor, might be a case of SHOW ME THE MONEY!

If you were able to run a better 1/4 time than a 10.7, that would be enough.

Good luck Rob. Whatever kind of race you do just post a video? Just remember do the kind of race you are comfortable with and be safe. When you do post the video people will still bash so don't worry and have fun.

Exactly!

First Build it, test it, get your numbers, then talk ....We all know your car will be fast! Nothing slow comes out of that shop! But let the car do the talking. You will get so much more respect for it...IMHO

blah, blah, blah...more talk. Where are the "EVOMS eating" numbers that you promised? Where's the low 5 second 60-130. Where's the low 10 second pass with a high 140 trapspeed? Where's the dyno where your car makes "200 RWHP more than a GT700 in any place"?

The only thing you're beating is your meat

Bull****! When he goes out and actually backs up his claims, then he'll get the praise, NOT BEFORE. The only bashing that I've done is by calling him a poser, because that's what he is. I've complimented Mark's, Scott's and Marty's cars, so don't give me that "people will still bash" ****. The guys I just mentioned have actually made accomplishments with their cars, this dude has done nothing but talk out his *** about what he "might one day do", I'm all about results, of which he has ZERO.

I am with RENN on this one. Talk is cheap, very very cheap. You guys keep posting this crap stirring the pot about the "tuner" wars, blah blah. No numbers or car yet but talk talk talk

I'm with you on this one, but not many have the skill to take cars of this power-level to a track. Sad that the big bragging righs comes down to roll-ons. Think about it for a minute...almost sounds like a muscle-car forum...or the "more money than skill" forum...

I agree with you guys, Porsches were made for the twisties! 1/4 miles and 60-130 are the only tests that are a true test of the car and not the drivers' ability. It kind of puts things on an equal playing field. I just completed the Masters' Course with the Porsche Driving Experince and I prefer roadcourse to dragstrip, but I love the fact that the Porsches are versatile enough to excell at both.
