Just wanted to say nice work to Tblountman who rocked the dragstrip with his 997 Turbo Tiptronic. His mods are a ECU Flash, Ceramic Coated Headers, and Fabspeed Bypass Pipes. This was his first time out with the car since it was flashed. The tiptronic allowed him to rocket to a 11.16sec in the 1/4mile with a trap of 123mph. Just shows how quick a tip is. I ran a 11.14 at 134mph to compare.

And the play by play...

Brake boost and launch

Happy Guy!

 

Thanks Dan, yes it was a fun and surprising day. I had no idea I would hit 11.1. After a few tries at hitting reaction times I gave up and concentrated on hitting my brake boost launch at the optimum point. We had a fun day. Aaron (acicchelli) had some of his stable out as well. He had the 997tt (Switzer) Merc McClaren SLR, Cayenne Turbo and the macdaddy Lambo TT ( Can you say daddy needs a new clutch). We also had a beautiful Ferrari 612 Scaglietti which he had the nads to run a couple of times. Overall for me it was an outstanding time which I never thought I would hit. Softronic is the real deal and the straight pipes sounded awesome as I let Aaron do a run just to listen. Those pictures are not necessarily in order as it was kind of a compilation of the day. By the way that Yamaha R1 smoked me with a 10.1. The Switzer came in second with a 10.7. I'll let Aaron chime in on his day as he was a little frustrated putting the hp to the ground with his Lambo and ultimately ate the clutch.

 

That is a fantastic time congrats! Your 60ft is great!!

Nice driving.

Mitch

 

ive got a tip how high did you brake boost it to and do you feel its safe to do?

 

Great run, in one of those pics your front wheels look like their about to lift off the ground....awesome.

 

I brake boosted until the arrow appeared in the dash and let her rip. It will only rev so far and I can't remember where it starts to bog but you can't over rev when doing this. I wouldn't do this a ton but the tip is pretty bullet proof. This link has lots of pics of all the participants.
