That's great ! And how much is the Sledgehammer ?

 

i agree . i see you selling your evo ? pm me with info on it ,and a price im looking for one... should of never sold my first one...

 

you will have to ask Tym for the exact price, but i am guessing probably somewhere in the $50K range.

 

pm sent. it is one of a kind!

 

This car is aboslutely remarkable. 9's with bolt ons is unreal, and to drive it home is even more remarkable. Congrats on raising the bar!

Suman, when will your car be done?

Enjoy!

 

Supposedly lower end is back together. Steve is taking his sweet time. I guess they are busy. Same old story.

That's a great vid.
It really shows the launch and how it pulls thru the gears.
It's amazing how quiet it sounds.

 

amazing shifts!
can Tym share his shifting secrets?

 

The secret:

It's the car. It's the way the car is prepared. It's doing what it is built to do and any competent driver can nail precise and quick shifts in the car. It's all about the combination and the preparation of the vehicle for what it's being asked to do! There's more to vehicle preparation than just making peak power numbers!

Besides... I'm rusty compared to the way I used to drive, lol!

Thanks for the compliments though!

 

Whatever you did you hit it on the nail... it took someone 6 years from the moment the first 996tt roll out to run a 9 second run... you did it about a year....
Congrats..

I flew to Ohio today to meet Tym and check out the Sledgehammer. The clutch takes a few minutes to get used to, but once you are used to it, you can see how insanely easy it is to nail perfectly fast shifts everytime. The acceleration in the car was totally nuts, but I never felt out of control of the car. The temp was relatively cool at 65 degrees, but the Toyos stuck like glue.

It was great meeting with you today Tym, you run a tight ship, and you know your ****. A no nonsense, tell it like it is attitude is what I like. You passed the "Laura" test with flying colors. Thanks again for a great trip, and I will be on contact with you very soon about some upgrades.

David, it was really great meeting you today as well. Thanks for picking us at the airport in your S65, and letting me ride in and drive your Sledgehammer beast. We have very similar tastes in cars! (and watches, haha) Your Sledgehammer is just what you described it to be, a practically unbeatable, full weight, comfortable street car. You are one hell of a stand up guy.
