Good question. I have all the bolt-ons except for the IPD Y Pipe and 68mm Turbos. I might do those...but I want to try for 9's on stock turbos/street tires first. No one has done that on a drag strip with a warrantied car. I think the magazines did it with the $1.5 million P1 and maybe the 918 on a vBox, but I haven't seen it on the drag strip. Champion did their 9.8 on drag radials. I'm no drag racer and I have to wait at least until December/January when the weather cools down at the one track we have in SoCal (Famoso). It's not a great track for times, so a sub 10.0 will need for the stars to align.



Truthfully with all this power LC was just spinning my Pilot Super Sport tires. I tried LC twice that day and ended up doing poorly. Now with my r888's broken in, this thing can handle LC again....and with 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, the launch is just brutal

The bolt ons for the 997.2 are a bit pricey but wow they are worth it.

Haha so does my 4 year old! (He's the only one who can fit lol).

 

haha me too!

Your car is a beast Adam. Don't forget to mention that you drive it to and from these events 100's of miles each way.

 

i appreciate that this was done from a dig and in a safe environment. hate seeing vids were its a roll on race in traffic at nite. so dangerous. thanx for a great run!

 

Nice job on that race I've seen some of your videos...you have a strong turbo...torque wins races ....that's the beauty of having a motor like this couple of mods and you can take on 2014 super cars....have a friend that has a r8 v8...he's always talking about how much better he's car looks...gave him a ride in my car...he's face was the look of defeat...

 

IMO, not sure if the 68mm turbos are worth it on the stock rods and fueling.... the gains (~50whp) are negligible for the dollar spent. As for the ipd y-pipe, not sure what the gains are there as well. The only other bolt-ons i'd look into are turbo inlet pipes and meth injection (somewhat of a band aid fix for the fueling issue). Some have reported good gains with a meth kit.

 

Good choices....

 

Great run. I might've missed it, what supercharger is on the R8?

 

Direkt-Schalt-Getriebe or Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe?

Just the word Porsche makes it faster.
