holy crap bro!

that is like 2.5lbs/hp (2.0 if you hit 1200rw).... comparatively the veyron is 3.4lbs/hp

do you have any links to a build thread or more pics?

i bet traction is fairly impossible to hold....
would be curious to see some Vbox times like 60-130

Thanks man, I did a few higher mph rolls on 16-17psi mid summer and it was insane. I was going from about 70-140 and it was gone in an instant.

There are a few build threads but with how people operate on the internet there is much nonsense to sift through.

This one is pretty condensed but it seems I didn't keep it up at the end.

Traction is decent on like 7-10psi but anymore and it is really hard to handle on the street wheel/tire setup which is NT-01's. I have a drag set of wheels/tires but have never drag raced this setup.

Wow lots of sharp RX's. I sold mine 2 weeks ago, and am now hunting for a 996tt. I have owned an RX since 1995, so its kinda wierd not having one in the stable.
