Hey guys. So I just got back from the drag strip tonight and I am still grinning ear to ear. This is the first time ever I have taken the 997.2 Turbo S out to the drag strip. Coming up to the tree on my first run I didn't know what to expect. This is also my first time ever using launch control with the PDK system. I read that you put sport plus on, traction control off, hold your foot on the brake and gas, its rev till about 4500-5000 and then let off the brake and it shoots you off like a rocket. It was the quite the experience. When I initially launched the first time, I thought that you had to shift using the paddle shifters yourself and didn't realize till the next run that the car can shift for itself. Long story short i pull up to the booth where they hand you the slip and anxiously i take it and look at it. I see two times, 11.164 and 10.672. I couldn't believe it at first and thought they gave me the wrong slip. As I am looping around I was thinking back to the race. I raced a all motor mustang on radials and he got the initial jump but i reeled him pretty hard so I obviously had the quicker time. Still startled I see the mustang I raced and pull up to him to see if in fact that was the slip from our race. I ask and sure enough he replies, "That was one hell of race, 10.6 for stock car is out of the world". At that point i knew it was true. The Porsche 997.2 Turbo S is hands down one of the sickest and one of my most favorite cars i have ever driven and for a completely bone stock car to run a 10.672 @129.80 mph, it has surpassed my level of expectation. From what i recall the last quickest time was done my Road and Track in which they ran a 10.7 @ 128 mph if I am not mistaken. Anyways I thought I would share with you guys because this has made my weekend.

 

Record or not, congrats on a KILLER run!!!

Check with Mike Bailey on the record. I don't know

 

Dear baby Jesus on his golden throne, your 60 footer is craaaaazy!

 

That's awesome! Congrats!

 

Wow, congrats! Now I have something to shoot for. I ran a couple of days ago a 10.91@127 but I have snow tires on yet and slipped like crazy for a 1.7 60'.

 

Wow very nice!

We're you running stock recommended tire pressure?

When I've gone to the track on mine it seems to slip too much, and I haven't tried lowering tire pressure .

 

Nicely done OP. What were your tires pressure (front/rear)?

 

Wow! Amazing!

 

Haha thanks everyone The tire pressure was what ever normal tire is regularly ran on street set up. I believe i was 37 in the rear and 32 front.

 

That is an amazing run!!!

Congrats!

 

Absolutely hauling ***. No doubt

The pccb's deffinately help you get a good launch as well. Wonder if R&T's car had the ceramics on it?

 

amazing.

I dont mean to take anything away from you, but with PDK and launch control, you should be able to do this 10 out of 10 times right? mash gas, let off brake, and hold on?

Congrats on the run that was very impressive.

 

Haha you would think but the first run which is the run I did the 10.6 I shifted myself using the paddle shifters. The next two runs I let the car shift itself and i ran a 10.8 both times. So pretty interesting results.

 

Yep. Did a 10.7@129 in my 12 TTS one time at the strip and they would not let me do another with out a roll bar in the car. It was in the 80's degree wise and I ran stock psi for an unloaded car 34 ft and 39 or 40 rear( I forget). It was an amazing run at 1800 miles on the clock.
