Their kit is very nice! The parts they make not only look like a piece of art, they function great! I would place switzer as one of the best when it comes to fit and finish! I haven't received my car back yet, so I can't comment on how it drives...I'm sure it will be very fast and probably scare me a bit!The r911 kit should run in the 9's in a 1/4 mile and should run 4's in the 60-130 section...This is extremely fast! Their cars have a great record and are truly ran hard and seem to be holding up very well...

9s? That's a bit optimistic no?

Not at all optimistic.
Considering 560-600whp cars run solidly in the 10's, what can an extra 200whp do at the strip?
Just comes down to how hard it is launched, though I would guess most owners won't want to beat the car too hard without at least upgrading axles, which appear to be a weak link at that level.
Forget the e.t., I'd be content knowing my car could trap in the 140-150 range!

Both the R911 997TT and R911 GT2 have trapped 141+ on 93 octane, it is an incredible street package.

Just remember, to run lower then 11.49 you need a minimum of a 5 point cage/roll bars and for 9s technically you need a 8 point cage. Also to be legal you need an NHRA license. I went thru all of this with my GTO. I had to take a drag racing school to get licensed. I had a 6 point with swing outs for the door locations. Some tracks will let you get away with a 4 point cage and a harness but not too many.

Enjoy it!

Doc, you can always make one run before they throw you out. I got away with that twice before they remembered me.
