Once my new fuel pump is in which will be soo I'll be at 900 rwhp on pump gas and god knows what after that. I'm not turninn my car into a drag car but I like the power, the porsche is for the twisties.
Do you own (pay for) that 997 in your garage, you havent refferenced it as mine so I would think your some rich little kid living at home with a large amount on your credit card. Your little M3 doesnt scare anyone and if you are talking about running meth, and that much hp on a stock block you wont make it one lap around a track with that.

689rwhp 11.5@130mph isnt a great figure... With that much power i would have broken 10's at 135 at LACR..
My friend owns a 427 Procharged Z with about everything on it and he made 900+rwhp at A&A. I know what they are capable and what they are not..
I actually do pay for the 997tt, nice try though.
I made what i did on the stock block, i ran it hard on the streets and track. Not 1 blowing incident, i bet your car was tons less reliable. Its cool though, its getting built now.

FYI i am not saying your car is slow... just stop doing bench racing and coming on 6speed and posting HOW MUCH FASTER YOUR CAR IS THAN A GT2 or TT alike...

Never did i bench race, times/dynos/videos can be found of my car. Ive had tons of races and i know what the car is capable of against others.

My car was offred 80k+ awhile back. This car has cost me a good fortune though, I never said it didnt.

i just don't get people like you... i never said the GT2 costs 240k... you made a incorrect statement... and by the way... a stock M3 does not cost 80k... more like 50k and 4x that is 200k (a new GT2)... you need to get your fact straight and maybe learn your math better... good for you if you got offered for 80k... you better take that deal... or else you might just have to live with this OUT DATED M3 for years to come... and besides its not my fault you put so much money in to a M3... i will never put in 100k in an M3 (assuming thats what you payed till date) i think with my head not my ***...

Lol and i would never pay 200k for a glorified 996tt.. Whether its outdated or not its my preference. Geez you have some issues. I have dated cars and outdated cars, what is your point? If i have money to spend on a hobby such as car's i can do so. It doesnt mean my head is in my ***, im not even going to comment on what i think of your head...
and thats all too good for you... maybe you should sell your two Pcars sitting in the garage and buy 10 more M3s to mod... just incase if all 9 blows up you still have one to brag about...

Not on 20's you wouldnt have, and your second time driving the car. Dont get ahead of yourself, I drag race for fun, not to run nine's but my car is certainly capable of it if I want to risk the rear end blowing up which I do not. My car can easily run 10's and I may strap the DR's on one day but havent really wanted to just yet.
Not from what I've heard.
LOL and even your time may have translated to a 11.5 using an aggressive correction factor, your trap speed would be 130 which is the same as mine. I could go at least .7 faster with DR's and 7-10 mph faster and if I showed you the vid you would see why. I didnt have the turbo spool down yet and got out of the hole decent but coasted to the 330' waiting for the turbos to spool. That wont happen any more. My car with a decent launch and better shifting would have been on the mid - high 10's easily.
Dont get ahead of yourself, my time is a big time underacheivement but it was only my second time at the strip in that car. 5 total runs. Your wouldnt have beat mine then and wont when you get it back, you can bet on that. If the time and opportunity presents iteself I can turn my car into a beast, just havent had the desire to do so. Not a chance in hell you will be able to put something on that car that will stick 1300hp. Your wasiting time and money with that.
In fact your little 3.2 unless it's somthing comparable with a Supra is going to be a ticking time bomb, with meth, nos and all that garbage on it. Lets see what it does on the track besides blow up. My 427 can safely hold 1100 rwhp and that's with race gas at the most. I dont do nos. You got some nerve talking about durability with that thing your building.

My car was running a SC + Nitrous (NOS is a brand) + Methanol/Water. It wasnt unheard of and plenty are running around like this now. I ran the car hard 10k miles and it ran flawlessly. No bang here, so your accusations are off...
Now the engine is getting built and a large turbo with all the goodies are being thrown on it. Im still thinking about leaving the nitrous but im not sure of it yet.

123 trap was with about 3200lb's also. I was probably making around 580bhp at that time, 650bhp with nitrous. Also i dont know if you saw the video but i lose some traction up in 3rd/4th b/c of sand (i dont know if that would effect the trap).

If you have the information on your best pass, then please post the condition info:
+ Track altitude (')
+ Air temperature (o F)
+ Relative Humidity (%)
+ Absolute Baro (")
With that you can calculate the Density Altitude. With the DA you can convert to a standard condition pass which can be of some help when comparing timeslips.
I also noted the dust blowing across the strip which *will* impair your short time if it's onthe start line and 60' zone and will impair your ET if it causes you to lose traction down the track.
The DA on my best pass was 918'. I've seen BMW street cars creep into the 11s with DA of *minus* 3,500' at Atco. I can guarantee you that you will never hear me tell you about -4,000' DA at WSID here in Sydney!
Boy do I dream at night of being able to race at Atco or ETown on a cold night! Not just because of the below sea level air, but the superior traction afforded by those strips that see NHRA Top Fueller passes time after time.

I used wunderground.com to get the info for my runs on 6/21/06 at 18:36.
2700' + Track altitude (')
79.4 °F + Air temperature (o F)
28% + Relative Humidity (%)
29.87'' + Absolute Baro (")
Which i think equates to a DA of 4773'. Also this ddoesnt account for the sand on the track and the constant 20 mph tailwinds against the car that night. I wont even mention my belt slipping (SC losing boost) and how it came off on its own right after that run (many witnesses)...
Agreed about ATCO and Etown, i wish i had those tracks nearby. Clearly its difficult and very unfair to compare times from ATCO to LACR.
This is what a well known calculator shows:
Density Altitude = 4773
Uncorrected 11.9 @ 123
Corrected 11.17 @ 130.55
It would be nice if people would sort of acknowledge the times i put at LACR even though it seems slow compared to others. Im fairly confident with nitrous at ATCO i would run easy 10's in the 130's (old setup).

How do you calculate all that garbage anyways?
NM I looked it up and my DA at the time was 3234 and translated to a 11.13 @ 135.83
I will run 10's on the 19's and 20's I have before I add power or DR's

Everyone (including me!) I wouldn't even get into an arguement with this guy anymore. I had a look around some of the other forums he goes on and he constantly pissing other members off with same kind of stupid comments etc.
Who really cares! he probably has a mullet!!!
