you should've told the officer that he was off by about 0.3 seconds and asked him to clock you once again until you hit 3.2! lol

I briefly considered asking him if he'd mind clocking my 0-100. Then I came to my senses

simply amazing how much potential this new 997tt is capable of. I am already quite satisfied with the Ecu and exhaust. It already have plenty of power to take down 99% of the cars on the streets......but too bad i dont street race nomore...ahhahahaha

On the last pass I turned left on to the main road (2 lanes, no side streets, 35 MPH), ran up through 1st and 2nd, braked down to 40, looked up... and saw the 2 motorcycle cops parked on the other side of the road

We pulled back into the parking lot, the cop pulled up behind me, asked to see license and registration, and then uttered the following words:

"I know this is a *****in fast car; I just clocked you at 0-68 mph in 3.5 seconds. Please try to keep it down while we're around."

... and let me off with a warning!

My coworkers were giggling hysterically, and my reputation as a hooligan was suitably enhanced. I love this car!!
that is awesome! Be safe man, keep the stories coming and get up some pics and videos

I took a different pair of coworkers out this afternoon. This time I took it very easy on the surface streets and we played with acceleration on the freeway. The rain has stopped and the roads are dry, and low 50s outside. All I can say is DAYUM - wheelspin in 1st gear on all 4 tires the moment the boost comes up, and 2nd and 3rd go by in a heartbeat. This car gets to 100 MPH like nobody's business... I can't wait to get it to the track and see what's going on.

Alex, I can't join you this evening (got a hot date ) but I'd love to borrow your datalogger and use it to clock some acceleration passes. The TT is *easily* pulling harder than my RENNtech SL65 (11.2 @ 127) at this point. If I get the opportunity I may do a side-by-side with the SL in the next week or so.

There is another gentleman with a Protomotive ECU tuned 997TT that has
dipped into the tens. If the admin ever gets him approved I am sure
he will post his time slips...Oh, this is a 10.7 or so.
