WOW that is seriously fast!
Can you tell me how many horses the car produces?
Stunning noise as well

 

 

Great job, Todd. That 60' time is incredible.

 

Well done!

 

Yeah,yeah,yeah, someone needs to learn how to spell!!! I know I almost missed that pass cause we were bullshxtin!!

 

somebody has to be first, congrats...maybe one day I can experience that much speed...

 

Thanks Joe, Glad you were able to make some passes. It gave me a photo op to snap some shots of the car launching. Next time, I want to see some light under the front tires Next trip out west we will set some more records....

 

This car produces ~ 610-620 HP on the conservative side. We will not know for sure until we remove the engine and test it on our engine dyno which should be installed next month. At that point, we will know for sure and will be better able to calculate from the AWHP numbers we have from our testing on the AWD mustang dyno. The 1/4 mile times and trap speed would indicate that the power is in the ~650 range however, the tremendous power under the curve and the fact this car can launch ~.3 seconds quicker than a 996TT with more HP would bring it back to the ~610-620 range.


HP and TQ are a funny thing. It is not always about the peak power numbers which is what most people are concerned with. This car is a perfect example. This 997TT makes about the same peak power and TQ as our Stage 4 996TT. The stage 4 996TT will run ~ 11.5 @ 125 in the 1/4 mile. Then you take our 997TT which runs high 10's at 127 MPH. ~.3 seconds is gained at the launch as the 997TT launches much better than the 996TT. Next, the power curve is much broader on the 997TT giving it more power sooner thus an overall more powerful power delivery at any given RPM point.


We are aware that these cars are not meant for drag racing, however it is a fairly easy method that is widely recognized which is a good indicator as to a cars potential. It is also a bunch of fun and there is no chance of meeting officer friendly This is in no way the tell all as to a cars performance. This is only one way we use to give a snapshot as to the cars performance potential. The other ways we show the cars potential is through dyno testing, road racing, GPS runs of specific MPH intervals, top speed runs and soon we will be testing on our new engine dyno. All of these testing methods help us to determine the overall big picture of the engine and cars performance.


Sorry for the long explanation to your short question, but I think it is important to put it all into perspective.

Thanks Joe. You are the Video editing master

 

I definately see light in the future!

 

Come on Wheely Bars!!!!! LOL Awesome run. Congrats!

 

Joe, thank you for the spelling lesson... Next time your in town I will help you out with the camera.. It was nice seeing you again out here in the west!

I see 9's in your future!!!

 

Congrats to the Evo crew on their 10.99! They had this thing dialed in perfectly.

 

Thanks Luis. Too bad the driver took all day to get dialed in
