I totally agree there isn't anything that you need to prove over there
you guys just done legit 234,6 mph .let now everyone else top that speed.talk is cheep.
Congratulations Todd

 

Well done EVOMS. You have a lot of R&D invested in this car and it shows. Looking forward to seeing you crack the 240 barrier - and having Porsche join the Supra, Gallardo, FGT, Camaro ranks!

I disagree on all three 'metrics'.

The Mile is of course about HP...but just as importantly, it's also about safety, aero, gearing, etc. Other than being a very good test of engine durability/parts, little R&D is transferable/usable to the typical 6speed enthusiast.

1/4 mile is all about the 60 and who can flat foot shift. Again few drivers can replicate a 'shop' car ET/trap that many times is accomplished by abusing a car beyond what a paying customer would ever be comfortable doing.

And the Ring is as meaningless to 99% of all drivers as it gets. It's only good for bragging rights for 'Cars & Coffee' participants....

Although I hate to admit it....most highway racing mimics 60-130 performance - accomplished by average drivers needing little skill. Very few folks on here routinely run their cars above 150...so IMO its the 2nd/3rd/4th gear performance that most 'straight line' drivers care about.

 

While you all are pondering the specifications of the planet I saw this clip and decided you all need to hear this...

Besides the f'n TransAm that appears to need an Air Conditioning belt you have to hear the EVT1500 MAYHEM launch and run from OUTSIDE the car!

This is what your dog hears at 200+ MPH!!! I'm not sure if their tongue could stay in their head.

And, finally I found that picture of the Cliff Notes on the steering wheel...



Cheers all,

Ha Ha, Nice video Parvin!One cool thing about the EVT 1500 is the effin motor revs like a Super bike!Sounds so sweet!

 

I guess the duct tape used on the space shuttle held up on that camera...LOL The car sounds Bad ***..

 

That car sounds awesome, guys. Very aggressive!

 

For Mike Paridis, our European Partner, a special license that comes with special privileges.



For Zuccone, still wanted in 6 of 8 southern states.



And Mike's real deal. We are lucky to have a partner with no kids or wife. It was a great tip Mike, see you in a few months!

 

It's official, that 997 turbo is fuhast!

 

Not to go too OT but could you say a few words about Boillot's GT2? Mods, results ect?

 

"American attitude"

Hey Mr. Bailey,

Parvin here... I'm just editing some footage for Chris right now... he told me his best was 191MPH... he was running on Saturday when the heat was horrible. I'm not sure how much he ran on Sunday. Friday I think he only did a warm up run.

I know that RodZ was working with Chris for new clutch package and some upgrades to the GT775 Performance System. I'll text RodZ and Chris to get on and add to the thread. I'll post his runs on vid when they're done of course.

- - - a few hours later - - -

Here is Chris' best run...

Thanks Parvin!
I appreciate you posting the run. Todd told me his car is setup very similar to mine. I was wondering what differeneces there were if any. Thanks for looking into his mods for me!
Mike

 

A Corvette shooter was nice enough to put up this edit.

I feel bad for all those Corvette clips and American Muscle clips that I just delete...
